Awaken Your Inner Discernment

 

The video

After listening to the video above, I got a message from my Reiki student:

“This is beautiful mam. I have an issue for which I am searching for answers for a very longtime. Others also might relate to it, so about this Repeated Karmic loop or repeated situations in life which keeps on happening again and again, how much ever we try to come out of it, we get stuck at a point and think what the universe is really trying to teach us by giving this karmic loop 🔁 what are the lessons we need to learn.

How to really figure that out? And how do we really know if what we understood is right?”

Do you trust your inner knowing?

Starting with last question, “How do we really know if what we understood is right?”, it is not possible to REALLY know that what we understood is correct. It is possible for those who have been doing sadhana for years that they know they can trust their inner knowing. For others, there is always doubt, that it is just their imagination.

Know about your Karmas

There are four Types of Karma

1. Sanchita Karma (संचित कर्म) – The Stored Karma

This is the total accumulated karma of all our past lives — like a vast storehouse of every action, thought, and intention. Only a small part of this karma becomes active in each lifetime.

Sanchita Karma is like the seed bank of destiny — containing both good and bad seeds, waiting for the right time to sprout.

2. Prarabdha Karma (प्रारब्ध कर्म) – The Active Karma

This is the portion of Sanchita Karma that has ripened and is ready to be experienced in the present lifetime. It determines our birth, family, circumstances, and major life events. Prarabdha Karma is like the arrow already released — once shot, it must complete its journey.

Spiritual practices cannot erase it, but they can help us face it with wisdom and balance.

3. Kriyamana  Karma (क्रियमाण ) – The Current Karma

This is the karma we are creating right now — through our present actions, thoughts, and choices. It is the only karma over which we have complete control in this moment. If done consciously, it can neutralize past negative karmas to certain extent or create a brighter future.

Kriyamana Karma is the arrow being crafted — we can decide its direction and purpose.

4. Agami Karma (आगामी कर्म) – The Future Karma

This is the karma that results from our current actions, which will bear fruit in the future — either in this life or the next.

It’s like the arrow placed in the quiver, waiting for the right time to be released. Agami Karma shows how today’s choices shape tomorrow’s experiences.

The Karmic loop

When the Universe tries to teach us by giving this karmic loop, assess the situation. Every time a situation is coming back, is it more severe than the last time? That means you have not given attention to your deed. Analyse it with an open mind and modify your response the next time.

On the other hand, if things that come in the karmic loop are milder as time passes, you are on the right track. You are just going through the prarabdh karmas, which you must experience. Spiritual practices cannot erase it, but they can help us face it with wisdom and balance. And wisdom and balance you gain through sadhana.

This answers your question “How to figure it out?”

We have control on our Kriyamana karma

Done consciously, kriyamana karma can neutralize past negative karmas to a limited extent or create a brighter future. So basically, we must do our karma according to our dharma, and face the events in life (knowing fully well that nothing comes to us that we don’t deserve) with wisdom and balance. And to gain wisdom and balance, continue your sadhana. I have seen that for those who do daily Reiki healing practice, it becomes easier and faster.
