Souls and Karmic Connections
We have traveled through many lifetimes and lived with many different souls amid family, friends or those who don't really get along with us. Some may have even tried to harm us emotionally, physically or spiritually. All said and done. We all are the same and belong to only one group that is SOULS. We all have traveled together in different lifetimes and have shared various relationships with each other such as,
Father-Mother
Husband-Wife
Uncle-Aunt
Brother-Sister
Friends
Neighbours
Servants
Drivers and
even so-called Enemies.
Each person is a Soul that tries to help the other move forward spiritually and reduce the Karmic baggage.
Sometimes the Soul that loves us the most, might willingly take birth as an enemy or a tormentor in a lifetime, just to help us work out our karma. Thus, a person, who we think hates us and we in return hate, might be our greatest well-wisher spiritually.
He or She may be responsible for our becoming spiritual or compassionate. That very person who is creating hell in our lives may bring us closer to spirituality. In the present lifetime, he/she may be doing so because that could be the only way to teach us a lesson.
Sometimes, a Soul is reborn just to comfort us and be there in times of need.
So, who is our friend and who is our enemy? They all are part of the Soul-Family who wants to help us and want help in return. Sometimes an opportunity comes in the form of a Disaster. Sometimes, the only way to grow spiritually and in life is through pain, sorrow and turmoil.
That is when Life seems strange.
Hence never form judgements, abuse or hate and never say nasty things about anyone. Who knows we may be harming the Soul who loves us the most spiritually but are not able to recognize it as the soul is wearing a different body in this particular lifetime.

Dear Sir
ReplyDeleteThe article above that you have posted as being written by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is in fact COPIED from an in depth article oN the same subject by RUZBEH N BHARUCHA, a famous spiritualist and Best selling Author.
Have brought this to your notice..as am in deep respect of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and it reflects poorly on Him , when it might be a
mistake by His followers.

POSTED ON MAY 13TH 2013. link of the article is posted above in its entirety.
BELOW ARE THE EXCERPTS THAT HAVE BEEN COPIED DIRECTLY FROM THE ARTICLE
We have lived for many lifetimes and we have lived it consistently with those we have started our soul journey. Be it family, friends, so called strangers (as there are no strangers amongst the soul group) or even those who we don’t get along with or those who try to harm us emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually
We all have travelled together for lifetimes, but each soul groups origin of separation from The Wholeness Soul, varies. Those from a particular soul group, we all shared various relationships with each other; that of a father, mother, husband, wife, grandparent, uncle, aunt, son, brother, sister, cousins, in-law, friend, lover, Teacher, staff, employer, neighbour, and even many a times with so-called detractors and enemies.
Each person belonging to the soul group tries to help the other move spiritually and reduce the karmic baggage.
Sometimes the soul who loves you the most, might willingly take birth as your adversary in a lifetime, to accelerate your karmic cleansing with least karmic ramification.
Thus imagine, a person who you think hates you or wants to torment you or in general is a pain in the rectal opening, and thus you hate the very sight of that person, in reality might be your greatest well-wisher spiritually.
Have you realized that it is when we confront our most intense fears and when one is going through the worst phase, that is the time many of us, turn spiritual or religious. In channeling, so often, I have been told that yes, ‘he or she has really made me go through hell (could be a spouse, in law, sibling, boss), but it is this same person who has made me turn inward and get closer to God and Master’.
Sometimes a loved one from The Soul Group is reborn just to comfort you and be there like a rock of strength for you.
So who is our friend and who is our enemy? According to me they are our soul group family wanting to help each other and be helped in return by the remaining members of The Group.
That is also one of the reasons, every religious Text, lays emphasis on not being judgmental and on the power of Forgiveness.
Don’t hurt or hate or abuse anybody as you don’t know, you may be hurting your dearest and most beloved, but you can’t recognize it, as the soul is wearing a different body in this particular lifetime.
Yeah, it really doesn't sound like Guruji. Thanks for posting your comment :) JGD Grit from Denmark
