Sanchit or the Seed Karmas

These are latencies lying in the store-house to one’s account from endless ages, ever since the world began. No one escapes from them unless the same are worked off – without making any more addition thereto, which of course in the nature of things, is an impossibility –, in innumerable lives that lie ahead. It is, therefore, not possible to exhaust this tremendous credit balance in one’s account.

Is there then no way to cross over the great chasm that lies between the conscious and the sub-conscious and again the gulf that separates the sub-conscious from the unconscious?

Every wrong has a remedy; it may be a spiritual or a secular wrong. If one fries seed-grains in a pan so that they get puffed up, they lose their fecundity or power of fructification, that is to say the power to germinate and to bear fruit.

Exactly in the same way, the Sanchit Karmas can be seared and scorched with the fire of Naam or Word and rendered harmless for the future, for then one becomes a Conscious Co-Worker with the Divine Plan losing all contact with the unknown past.
