Location of storage of Karma

Dhananjay • 9/26/2012
Question

Hi Dhananjay

You had mentioned in one of earlier post that the impurities reside in the nadis. Also i have read earlier that the karma is in the karana sharira and manifests as actions
Is the Karana sharira and nadi's the same?
Where does the karma actually reside and is there a way to find how much positive/negative karma left

Thanks for your valuable time in answering our questions

Answer

1. ‘Kârana Sharira’ (causal body) is the repository of all past karma in subtle seed form.

2. Based on the nature of karma stored in the causal body, corresponding manifestations are seen in the ‘Sukshma Sharira’ (astral body which houses the Nâdi-s) and the ‘Sthula Sharira’ (physical body).

3. For ex. A Jiva which has karma that demands the onset of a disease such as cancer, say in middle age will have the seed of such karma in subtle form in the causal body even before birth. At middle age, this seed manifests and the physical body shows signs of cancer.

4. After a few years of unbroken Brahmacharya with much meditation, the Yogi generally gets a vague idea of the future and his own state. When the Yogi masters Nirvikalpa Samadhi and nears self-realizaton, he gets the ‘Siddhi’ (ability) to discern the extent of his good & bad karma getting knowledge of his future.
