Changing Karma

Karma is not a frozen picture;it is a fluid,an ever-changing and adapting flow of energy currents.We can always modify it or cause minor changes in it according to our power of sacrifice and our will to serve the Common Good.Most of our karma cannot be changed unless we realize the consequences of our actions and the necessary steps to modify them.This is why great Teachers always advise us to review our actions,feelings and thoughts daily.Once we notice the motives of all our manifestations and their consequent effects upon others,we can can take the first step in the process of mastering our karma either by paying it or increasing our credit.
Good deeds,good words,positive emotions ,right thinking,right spiritual aspirations and striving -all these create a savings account in our karmic bank.Then, any time a previous karmic debt presents an unpaid bill ,our bank automatically pays it out of the account , and we escape from a grave danger.

Working out one's Karma cheerfully

You must bear your karma cheerfully, whatever it may be, taking it as an honour that suffering comes to you, because it shows that the Lords of Karma think you worth helping. However hard it is, be thankful that it is no worse.
Remember that you are of but little use to the Master until your evil karma is worked out, and you are free. By offering yourself to Him, you have asked that your karma may be hurried, and
so now in one or two lives you work through what otherwise might have been spread over a hundred. But in order to make the best out of it, you must bear it cheerfully, gladly.
Yet another point. You must give up all feeling of possession. Karma may take from you the things which you like best- even the people whom you love most. Even then you must be cheerful- ready to part with anything and everything. Often the Master needs to pour out His strength upon others through His servant; He cannot do that if the servant yields to depression. So cheerfulness must be the rule.

The secret of Memory



The more you recall joyful,pleasant,uplifting memories,the more you nourish the mechanism of your memory.The more you occupy yourself with unhappy,evil,dark,criminal,painful memories, the more you increase the possibility of hurting the mechanism of memory.
Every memory of beauty,joy,righteousness, and goodness nourishes your memory.If you continue to nourish your memory in this way,gradually you sharpen your memory to such a degree that you recall any event that occurred in your life.
Memory is the seed of the omnipresent .Your consciousness becomes so clear that it includes all your life processes.
