Please understand, in the causal layer our gathered or agamya karma is completely available for us. See, in the causal body, you may have the skills to play cricket, golf and tennis. But if you get up from deep sleep with a strong will or intention to play cricket, then you will also bring from the causal body the intelligence to play cricket. You will be naturally led into the situations, the atmosphere and the intelligence for it. If you go to sleep at night with a strong intention to play golf and you wake up in the morning with the strong intention to play golf, then you will bring with you that intelligence to play golf. The causal layer is an exchange place. It is like monetary exchange.

In the causal layer you can exchange anything. When you go to the causal layer the karma of this birth itself can be changed if you have that strong intention every day. This is true freedom. Tamas - One of the three gunas or attributes of nature. Attribute of inaction. Rajas -One of the three gunas or attributes of nature. Attribute of aggression. Sattva - One of the three gunas or attributes of nature. Attribute of passive action. Arjuna - Warrior prince and the third of the five brothers of the Pandava family in the great Indian epic Mahabharata. He was a disciple of enlightened master Krishna who received the wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita from Krishna. Pranic - Related to prana or life energy. Nirvanic - Connected to nirvana.

The nirvanic layer is the seventh and final energy layer in our body mind. Strong intention has the capacity to change the gathered agamya karma and the prarabdha karma of this birth. It cannot change the total sanchita karma. Sanchita karma can only be changed by the grace of the master – one who is without karmas. Mission or machine? Reaching out to the master, doing what the master says and acting without intention, are what the whole game of life is all about. Action without intention is mission. If you are acting with intention, you are like a machine. If you are acting without intention, you are the mission. Machine or mission, the choice is yours. Till you act with my intention without adding your intention, I will keep training you.

Just do what I say without asking inspiration from your intention, from your greed and fear. Pure action without intention will lead to fulfillment. Pointing the same sword inside Karma is not a law of reward and punishment. It is not a way god uses to punish people for committing sins. It is a reflection of your own mental state giving you the experience of heaven and hell. A small story: A traffic policeman caught a man speeding. He was about to issue him a speeding ticket. Suddenly a woman started screaming from the back seat, See, I told you that you will get caught! Who asked you to drive so fast? And when I tell you to be careful, slow down and watch out, you tell me to shut up.

Now see you got caught! The cop asked the driver, Who is she? The driver sighed, My wife. The cop tore up the ticket and said, Drive on. You have been punished enough! When you are angry, it is not that you will incur sin and pay for it in your next life. You are suffering with your anger now. That itself is the hell you suffer! You are suffering inside in the same way that you are torturing the person you are angry with. The fire you spit outside will burn with the same intensity inside you also. No matter whether it burns the other person or not, the fire of anger will surely burn you. The sword used to cut someone outside will cut you inside with the same intensity.

Remember, it is a double edged sword. A beautiful story from Buddha's life: A man once came and spat on Buddha's face.
