One lady came who was suffering from depression. She sat and cried and said that I have wasted 10 years of my life. And how do you feel you have wasted such a long tenure.
For 10 years, I kept trying, I should not do any house hold chore. I kept fighting and creating grounds for not doing work. I created excuses also like having an ill health. But then one day, my mother in law died and everything came on me. I have to do everything and I realize how much she was doing. Also i have so many health problems now. I feel like the excuses I used to create are becoming a reality. More over, I have to do all the things with all the health problems. So eventually I have to do all i.e. the things which I was trying to escape. So I feel I have wasted my life or 10 years of my life. I wanted to escape Karma which I realize I could not.
Well, she already said it all. She could handle herself better by focusing on what she could do better now rather than focusing on what she could not do in the past.
Never try to avoid your Karma because it is inevitable. You can never never do that. Eventually you have to do and next time may be more because ultimately there is an interest piled up on everything.
We are born to do karma. We are here to learn and we learn that by doing our Karma. Earth is a land of Karma. If we try to escape, we are escaping life. We are escaping the purpose of taking birth. Can that ever happen?
