One of the devotees narrated the following incident:

There was a person Mr. ‘X’ who has led very pious life, giving much importance to conscience and good deeds etc throughout his life. Due to that, though he is a government servant with limited resources, all his sons and daughters settled well in life by virtue of education by merits and scholarships looked after their parents very well. Around sixty years of age he suffered from cancer in his throat and his diet is based on liquids and even that can be taken only with strain and pain. This went on for more than three years and after that he was hospitalized for treatment as he can’t even take the liquids.

Whenever a visitor or a relative comes he used to say ‘I have led such a good pious life, not harming anyone, without making any sin etc. Why this to me?”. And finally, one day, after saying the same things to his son, he added the following: “I think I made one sin. In school days I used to tease a beggar and love his shouting towards me. My main play is to take away his food plate and throw the food and watch him crying. I think my suffering may be due to that”. With that Mr. X dropped dead.

Here my question is:

• Is it really a life response?
• What logic is there for this kind of response, for the thing or event that happened in younger years where ignorance is more, and the act is done without any motive and unconsciously?
• Though it is a usual for Mr. X to speak on his good deeds, whether the last conversation amounted to past consecration unconsciously, so that it liberated his soul immediately.
• It is said that the soul brings life in a flash before death. Is that something like that which brought a mere memory?
• In that case what kind of life response a Mother devotee can expect if their past has any of such innocent tease incidents? For example, I have pinched so many small juniors/boys and made them cry.
• For Mother Devotees no karma works when faith is on Mother. Because karma can work only through a Swabava or traits which is -to some extent- transformed when we come to Mother.
• Only when we say that we do not want to change even a bit, the karma acts, because Mother’s Grace has to act against our wish. This is evident from the fact that Mothers grace first cuts off the karma passing on to the next generation.
• Every first-time devotee comes to Mother in a hopeless condition with every form of sin made already. Think of what would have happened if all those were passed on to the offspring. But I am yet to see a single family not settled well with satisfaction in next generation which proves that there is no passing of karma.
