THE CONCEPT OF ‘DOUBLE-KARMA’; ‘THE BEST FORM OF GAIN IS TO SUFFER LOSS’
Caller: Master, I have a question. Every relationship is fated. Everything can be traced back to predestined affinity and the law of cause and effect governing it. May I ask what does it mean by ‘to sow double-karma’? What’s the logic behind this concept?
Master Jun Hong Lu: For example, you were supposed to repay your karmic debts for scolding this person in your previous life by enduring this person’s scolding in this life. However, instead of putting up with his reprimand, you retaliate and scold him again. In this case, you have sown ‘double-karma’.
Take another example. We often say that many children are here in this life to demand their karmic dues from their parents. They are essentially the karmic creditors.
As parents, instead of treating them well and repaying your karmic debts to them, you continue to scold and beat them. By doing this, you are ‘sowing the seeds of double-karma’. As a result of your actions, when you reach your twilight years, your children will abandon and stop caring for you. Won’t you say this is ‘double-karma’?
This is why I often advise all of you, “The best form of gain is to suffer loss”. You must learn ‘to accept the short end of the stick’. Failing which, you will never make any gains. Another thing to note is, when a person undergoes suffering, essentially, he is eradicating his own karmic obstacles!
