Baba says, “in order to go to your original land, celebrate the ceremony of finishing all your old karmic accounts.”

The time for completion is coming close, Baba has told us; I experience this myself with every passing day. This means that all the accounts of sinful actions performed since the start of the copper age, that still remain, have to be settled in full. Why? because it is time to return home. If the fruit of the good actions performed and return of sins committed, from the copper age, are not received or settled in that same birth, there would be an account created that goes with me into the next birth- an account of attainment or an account of settlement. However, it is now the final period and the accounts of sin are greater than the account of good actions- this is why the old accounts of many souls are being settled by the punishment of a quick birth and a quick death. Therefore, at present, death is painful and the majority also take birth with a lot of pain and sorrow. Neither is death easy nor is birth easy. So painful death and being born through suffering is how the old karmic accounts are being settled quickly.

Even among karmic accounts, there are three special types, explains Baba. 1) accounts that a soul has to suffer for themselves, for example, illness. Souls settle their accounts through the illness of their bodies. 2) To receive sorrow from relationships and connections. 3) Settlement through natural calamities. Some karmic accounts like those through relationships and connections or through natural calamities cannot be settled in the land of Dharamraj through visions, they have to be settled here, in this corporeal world. All the old accounts of everyone have to finish. Therefore this machinery of settling old karmic accounts has to work now at a fast speed. “So now, check yourself“, He says: “Have I, the Brahmin soul, settled all my past karmic accounts by making intense effort at a fast speed or does some burden still remain?“

The sign that some burden still remains is: if any sanskar or nature creates an obstacle to my bringing about elevated transformation or performing elevated actions. If I am unable to do as much as I want or as much as I think I want to do, if I say or think in my mind words such as: ‘I don’t know why this happens even against my wish, I don’t know what happens..” If I have the desire to change, I have the courage and the enthusiasm and yet I feel influenced or subservient. If I am influenced by bad company or influenced by the atmosphere or vibrations. If I am influenced in this way, when something seems to happen even against my conscious wish, when I’m unable to change or do things even though I desire to, it is a sign I still have past account that remains.

“Check yourself against these signs“, says Baba: “Do any of these burdens bring you down from the flying stage?” To settle accounts means to experience attainment and therefore the flying stage. If there is attainment only sometimes, but other times, I say or do things that I didn’t want to or mean to, then ‘sometimes’ means that an account still remains. At this time of settlement, there will be karmic accounts that come in front of me as test papers. That relative that knows how to push the wrong buttons, the child that is off course, that colleague that plays politics etc etc. but I have to pass these tests so that I can settle the karmic account and move on. I only receive power to settle these karmic accounts through remembrance of the one Father. Only His love is the alchemy that heals and transforms; His unconditional acceptance forms the canopy of His protection over me that enables me to not fall into a pit of despair, disheartenment, self-rejection, or depression as I navigate settling my account. The more deeper my relationship with God is, the more I remember Him and the more I remember, the deeper the relationship gets; and the more power I have to remain uninfluenced, to remain unshakeable in the midst of the storms.

To remain unshakeable means that I remain happy and enjoy this Brahmin life even as I settle my accounts. If I take in sorrow, if I fall into the pits of despair and self-pity or rejection, then I lose time and energy that I need to settle. So the thing to do is to stay in the awareness of who I am, Whose I am and the current time. “You have to become a constant spinner of the discus of self-realization”, teaches Baba. When I repeatedly perform this spiritual drill of the five forms, I will become full of all powers because I stay in the awareness of who I truly am. It is I who is the deity, it is I who is the worship-worthy soul whose non-living images are worshipped to this day. So clearly, I have been victorious over these karmic accounts in the past and I am merely repeating this process now. The discus also keeps me focused because I realize there is no time to waste on senseless, trivial things; I learn to let go and just in doing that, I settle a lot!

“You children have to make yourselves so powerful that you are able to easily pass any type of paper that comes and move ahead”, teaches Baba. “So, together with service, in order to make yourselves powerful, while walking and moving around and performing actions, practice this spiritual drill and become constant tapaswis.”
