There is nothing called bad karma
15 October, 2010
There is no such thing as bad karma. Bad karma is only one thing - asking why this happened to me.
If you keep hitting yourself against the wall, and ask, Why is there a wall here, it is in my way! is there any answer or solution to that? You go on hitting, hitting, hitting at the wall and asking the same question. Who is going to suffer?
You will blame the person who decided to build this wall, then you will blame the person who built it, then you will blame the person who funded it, then you will blame the person who poured water on it, then you will blame the person who painted it, and finally you will blame the person who is not demolishing it. All this without understanding this simple science – the door is the other way!
The why always brings a wrong answer? You are getting hurt for the wrong reason. Don't be hurt by the person who built the wall, who funded the wall, who painted the wall, who is maintaining the wall. Just learn where the door is!
When you ask why, you are hurting, and you imagine the wrong people as the reason for your hurt. When you find wrong reasons for your hurt, be very clear it can never be healed. It will just stay in you as a wound for ever and ever, because you created it with a wrong reason. It is like mud being added to the dirt. Once that happens, the dirt can never be useful for any more. After that, separation is not possible. Maybe you can grind and mix it in water and filter it, but it is almost like taking one more birth!
When you understand karma, healing simply happens; simply, spontaneously and naturally. Any incident which happens in your life only adds to you, and makes you richer. So never ask the question Why? Why this for me?
No! Asking Why makes you shrink*. Asking, Now what needs to be done?* makes you expand.
