Sannyas -- Your Questions Answered
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda answers questions about karma and sannyas, the monastic lifestyle. The first question asks how we can erase karmic patterns which emerge from previous lives and have impact on the present life. Nithyananda replies that once we complete with those inner karmas they cease to control us. Completion also heals the previous lives in which those patterns originated. Asked what qualities merit sannyas, He replies that candidates should have passed through a minimum of twenty-five human lives to have achieved the maturity to appreciate sannyas. After so many births, a soul has completed its shallow expectations of life and is ready for the spaciousness beyond completion. This is true liberation, the freedom to travel on the ultimate journey: the journey to enlightenment.
