To all those who seek to find the answers to everything Karma, this is your book, the bible that you have to read if your head is burning with unanswered questions about Karma, Death, Rebirth, Souls, *How karma works,
*How it is different from Destiny,
*Types of Karma,
*How to deal with Karma,
*The responsibilities that we all have to endure if we want to burn our karmas,
*How karma is not here to punish you but to liberate you,
*Karma is complicated and hence instead of trying to understand how it works, just do your work without complaining.
I took almost 6-8 months reading this book, as this book is not something that can be hurried upon, and read once, I read, paused , made notes and basically took my time to read this book and absorb all that i could at my level of understanding. Maybe I will refer to it again as and when needed.
In a sense you can say, this book does haev referance to the Bhagvat Gita, because how could it not, Lord Krishna has basically explained the same things in Gita, only to understand and to put into practise is difficult.
I have been reading about Karma since many years now and I do have a fair knowledge about it (That's what I consider), yet the more you read, the more mysterious it gets. I have now made my peace about figuring out the why's and how's in my life and trying to find out what I did wrong or correct that the current life Karma has come to play in my life.
In explainably the more you know about Karma, the more you feel that it is a web that has been woven intricately and designed through our life lessons where life on earth is a school and the more lessons we learn, the more we are promoted to the next levels.
If you take few things out of this book, it shoudl be this --
1)Don't compare your life with anyone else, everyone is on a different path through different lifetimes
2)Learn from what is happening to your life by noticing the repeating patterns and then learn the lessons
3)Live consciously so that you are aware of the choices you are making, as every choice has its own consequence
4)We will come back to reap the rewards in the same manner that we come back to reap our mistakes and learn from them.
5)The harder the life of any person, the more lessons his soul has undertaken to learn in this lifetime
6)Everybody has a free will and hence imposing timlines and your control over them will not help
If you are a newbie in spirituality, then I would suggest to read the other 2 books by this author and then come to this one, as this one is not meant for beginners.
I would like to applaud Meetu for explaining the complex Karma so well in this book that it would help to quest the thirst for knowledge in the minds of people seeking the answers.
