“One has made a niyanu (to spent one’s merit karmas for something desired) for moksha (the ultimate liberation), but he has not made a strong and concrete niyanu. Had he made such a niyanu, then all his merit karmas would be spent for only that.”

“Concentration (ekagrata) can only take place when, the unfolding of your karma assists you from within. If the unfolding karma does not give assistance, then it cannot happen.

“If your merit karma is unfolding, then the other person will speak well of you; and if your demerit karma is unfolding, then the other person will curse at you. Who is at fault in this?

By doing so, our karmic fault will fall off (discharge) and no new one will be bound.”
