Student: Guruji, what is the real meaning of learning a lesson ?
Prabhuji: We see the world is different from us and people are different from us. In reality only Atma is appearing as different people and world. When I hate somebody, I am hating myself because SELF is same. Learning reality of existence – one Atma appearing as many takes many life times. This is karmic lesson. One case study reported by New York Psychiatrist is given below for you to understand how law of karma works. I have given also story of Dhritarasthra above.
New York Psychiatrist is good hypnotherapist. He does hypnosis to find past lives of people. He reports interesting case of 3 past lives of two different patients A &B. In one past life A is gold Smith. B was slave of Gold Smith. A tied B with chains and tortured with hot iron rod to extract work.. In a subsequent life roles are reversed. B becomes Master farmer. A becomes servant. B tortures A by using in place of Bullock for tilling land. He whips A. … Psychiatrist was able to trace 6 life times of both the people, their role reversals to learn karmic lessons from other person’s perspective. This learning goes on till we learn to see ONE in ALL and all in ONE. We create karmic debt by interaction. We will have to repay same, learn the other person’s perspective. The above story appeared in book written by Psychiatrist.
