Gurudev, it is said that when one has accumulated Paapa (sins), then one does not feel like doing Sadhana (spiritual practices) or going to Satsang. But if at some point of time if we become aware that this is happening because of a particular karma, then can we overcome it by purushartha (making efforts)?
Yes, absolutely. That is the intelligent thing to do also. Such people are the intelligent ones. You cannot call them foolish or ignorant. When you are aware of a wrong action you have done, then Sadhana and Satsang can help you cut away all these negative ... -

Gurudev, if the impression of a Karma is once formed in our mind, then to get rid of it, is it enough to have this experience of knowing that- I am not this mind and what I am, cannot be touched or affected by Karma, or is it necessary to repent and correct myself after knowing this?

Gurudev, if we lose our footwear or if someone takes it away, is it true that they take away our bad karma?

How does the Karma of our parents and ancestors affect us? Are we also punished because of their bad karmas?
