How can I change my Karmas? | Theory of Karma – 16 | Ahmedabad Chaturmas 2015

Prabhu no Daas, Sansar ma Udaas ~ Rashtrasant Pujya Gurudev Shree Namramuni Maharaj Saheb

The Theory of Karma depicts that the innocent are never punished, and the guilty never go free. Whatever happens, only happens because Karma is associated with it in the past or the present. Which goes on to intrigue us with one question, is there any way to change our Karmas once we understand and realize the truth?

Lord Mahavir explains that even after we bind our Karmas, Karmas can undergo change in 3 different ways: Udvartan (Increase), Apvartan (Decrease) and Sankraman (Complete Transformation). And this is the greatest blessing for a seeker. When we are involved in worldly activities, we are constantly binding Karmas in every moment. However, even while the body is performing sinful activities, if there is a constant repentance for our actions, then our Karmas undergo Apvartan. The one who really wants to progress in the spiritual journey, constantly has one Bhaav running on his mind, ‘Hey Parmatma! When will I become free from this sinful Sansar? When will I stop hurting sentient beings in every moment of my life? When will I stop living my life at the cost of someone’s death? When will I become free from this body and attain a formless state like you, wherein no living being shall be pained for my own wants?’

When such emotions are playing inside a seeker’s heart, his actions may be oriented towards fulfilling his worldly responsibilities, but his emotions are filled with compassion for every soul. And this process constantly reduces the Karmas he binds while engaging in worldly actions. Pujya Gurudev thus explains that repentance is the tool which purifies every Bhaav, and purifying the Bhaav is what is Dharma in reality.
