Your Karmic Overdraft Account

Your Karmic Overdraft Account

Banks offer a type of current account with an overdraft facility against security. The balance in this kind of account can become negative up to a certain prescribed limit depending on the value of the security. When the balance is already negative, further withdrawal will make the balance even more negative. However, if you deposit some money into that account, the negative balance will reduce. So long as the balance is negative, you are liable to the bank. But once the balance becomes zero, your liability is over.
Our karmic account is similar to an overdraft account. We all come into this world with a negative balance in our karmic account due to our past lives. The actions that we perform with some underlying desire are like further withdrawals from our karmic overdraft account that increases our “liability” further. On the other hand, the actions that we perform without any desire are like deposits into the overdraft account that reduce the negative balance, eventually bringing it down to zero.
