SANCHIT KARMA
So far, in all the previous paragraphs, we have discussed at length, how to control Kriyaman Karmas by Karmayoga and also how to exhaust all the Prarabdha Karmas by Bhakti Yoga during this lifetime. Now let us discuss how to finish with all the Sanchit Karmas before we leave our present body so that there would then remain not a single Karma in balance in any one of these three categories at the end of this life binding us to take any new birth henceforth and thereby finally we become free completely from the cycle of birth and death which is the final target and the ultimate goal of human life. The Kriyaman Karmas performed
by you during your past millions and billions of births which are still
not ripened and matured and have also not become ready to give you fruits
up-till now till to-day are all Iying accumulated in countless numbers
as Sanchit Karmas. These Karmas (actions-deeds) are already committed
and hence now it is beyond your control to make them undone. Once the
gun is fired and the bullets shoot out, they can never return back again
in the gun and unless these bullets hit somewhere at some time, they
will not stop, cease and subside. Same is the case with these Sanchit
Karmas. You do not know them at all and it is beyond The only course, therefore, prescribed and open for you to annihilate this cumbersome and hopeless position is to put fire to these lofty mountainful heaps of Sanchit Karmas by Jnanagni (fire of knowledge) which would burn them all to ashes instantaneously.
