Dear Brother ex-l,
I mean the way you act, this way you receive the result. Fast action brings fast result, slow action - slow result. Just a thought or a dream brings result in long term. If you act with consistency and determination, you'll receive result sooner.
There is nothing "mystical" in "karma". Karma is action. We cannot "remove" anyone's action. Actions are done. It is a matter of the results of the actions which are good or bad, give sorrow or happiness. This result comes due to our thinking. If we did not know good and bad we won't hesitate; we won't doubt, actions would never become good or bad. It will be simple neutral action.
If we do something, we think it is sin it is because there is knowledge of what is sin. The one who gives The Knowledge of what is good and bad in front of him we sin. In a gathering where teasing women is common, to take her in the bedroom is not at all a sin.
Those who love Dadi and think she is instrument of God lose their mind when they see her, when they are close to her. If they confess to her, for them they confess to God. It will be different if you confess to a friend who is aware of you and to a stranger. Why is it difficult to say personal things to a stranger? If we look at it, it is the same action of speaking the same things.
A simple example is a child learns grammar and teacher says "You have to always put a comma in such case” and pulls his ear. Then whenever he meets such a case he remembers his pulling of ear, because it is more gross and puts a comma or not. This way "sin" etc. these are conceptions.
It is said in the Murli that if you just sit and someone comes in your mind, then this is a sign of attachment. See how far this law goes. No one should even come into the mind.
Why is it that one cries a little and gets better? Because we see nothing comes out of it. It depends on in front of whom do we cry. We like to share, because to our initial mind moral principles of good and bad are alien. That is why on our own we are not able to discern, that's why we have to face an authority and, eg we face a friend just to see how he takes it. Our problem can become small if we see it does not strike him or grow if we see worry in his eyes.
If there is such a world where there are no problems, then where will problems come from? What we observe today the world of problems is due to smaller and lesser problems from the past that come to us like the snowball and multiply in us and amongst us. This cycle can be stopped by one Supreme Soul who is above it all.
It is said that "I get the world destroyed through a one who does not accumulate sins?" If we take it ... to destroy the whole world should be very bad thing, the one who does it should be the worst of all and not the best of all, he should be condemned and not praised, but it is also a matter of a point of view.
In fact, we do just that - trying to help someone overcome the results of his actions, or to "wipe his karma" when we say "OK forget about it", "Just cheer up", "Nothing wrong has happened", "Just move on", "Everything will be all right" etc. This is also the point of view of The Knowledge that nothing that happens is wrong. And we turn to God for these, because what he does and says makes the most sense.
