Sometimes you wonder why you suffer, why you are filled with worry. It all stems from karma. The bad deeds of your past follow you to the present, bringing worry and suffering. The only way to change this to perform good deeds. Karma is like a seed you sow that grows into a big tree; you may have forgotten about your previous bad deeds, but the results of these deeds will always be with you, until they are erased by good deeds.
It is a waste of time pondering over the nature of your bad deeds. What difference does it make ? Think alone will not cause the bad deeds to be automatically erased. Why not just start performing good deeds now ? There is no use worrying about the cause of your suffering. These is no way you can ever remember what you have done in the past. From today, do good things. Make everyone happy. Do as many good things as possible. Because this is something you can do. When the opportunity to do something good comes along, do not postpone it. You can neither erase the past nor control the future. Just do the good deeds now.
Even the powerful elephant is unable to use its strength to help any other creature than itself, and so, it has no way out of its suffering. But you are human. You have the solution. Do good karma to erase the bad. It is that simple. You have ability to do good, think good, see good, hear good. Use it !
All that you accomplish by worrying about your problems is the creation of a new problem – high blood pressure ! Why do you worry ? Worrying will not fix problem. Understand that the cause of your problems is bad Karma, and that the solution is good Karma. Focus on someone else’s problems. Help as many as you can, and as much as you can. Do not worry about losing your shoes when there is someone next to you who has lost his legs.
Understand that there is a remedy for your problems, which is simple and is possible for everyone: do good deeds….
SRI blesses you all.
