CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND KARMA

Q: Sir, if the person has contracted with you to do something, e.g. murder and rape, why should this result in karma?

Child if that is in the original blueprint, it will not result in karma, because that was an irrevocable part of each one’s blueprint. When I say blueprint try to visualize in your mind the blueprint that you have as an architect. Every corner stone, every pillar must be there in the blueprint, and that basic structure cannot change. But, once the basic structure is planned, as the structure grows and is being built, the internal details are left up to the builder. Do you want a door here and a window there, or would you have no window? Would you like this room to have an L or a round shape? So, my son, if the murder or rape is the corner stone, there is no karma. It cannot be, because the murderer has agreed to play this very unpleasant role in order to allow a friend the experience of being murdered. That experience might be needed, because the person being murdered might have murdered another, not as a corner stone. Children, you have corner stones and pillars and beams that cannot change. But all the internal building is your own. So if the soul created a karma for itself by committing a murder, or it may not have been a murder; it may have been harm done to another soul in any other way..There is no eye for an eye. Now, the soul wishes to atone for what it has done, but before it can atone, my son, it has to understand what is the pain of another. Only then it can atone. And so it undertakes to experience the pain. But for that it needs to have someone who will inflict the pain. So you see there is one occasion when the pain that was caused was not a corner stone; it was well within the free will of the soul to cause the pain or not, so there was karma. Now it is a corner stone, so there is no karma. I am sure one of you will now ask, especially my son there, how do we know? Isn’t that right, my son?

Q: Yes, Sir.

You don’t. You don’t know and you will never be permitted to know because, children, if you knew then that would be an excuse for you not to show kindness and mercy and love and that is not at all present in the very large plan of the Divine Will. So you will not know.

Q: Sir, but if the murderer does not know this there will be so much guilt.

Child, that guilt will be a good learning experience for any soul, whether it is a corner stone or it is one of those small free will instances. Through that guilt that person will also learn a valuable lesson. Do not think, my child that a contract is made purely to help out another. It is always made because you know that you will also have a learning experience.

Q: Sir, what about the role of the parents of a criminal? Do they also create karma?

Child, again this is the same. If this person has decided as a corner stone, then the parents will play their role either voluntarily, when the physical mind is completely aware of the harm it is causing, or involuntarily, where the physical mind is not at all aware of the harm it is causing. But, then you see, my son, it is not harm because it is meant to happen, it was meant to take place so that the soul could then in a future period work out and execute the contract. So parents do play a very, very important role.
