Why Gurus Take On Their Disciples' Karma - [Hindi]

The question asked here was- When Om Swami initiates someone and he says that he takes responsibility of that person’s karma upon himself, what does it mean? And if Om Swami can explain it further? [Why Gurus Take on Their Disciples Karma] Om Swami says that it’s a guru’s duty to take his disciple towards the path of liberation. He says that many a time people do not attain liberation only because of their karma, and it’s not due to their thinking. A disciple may have all the right sentiments and a feeling of surrender too, but sometimes due to their karma they are bound and therefore may be unable to go ahead in their spiritual attainments. In case they move ahead they would still be stuck in the cycle of birth and death says Om Swami. The privilege and the right of taking on the karma is available only in the relationship between a guru and his disciple, and further more, only to a guru who is connected to a lineage and who passes the knowledge to his disciples. When a guru takes on the karmas of twenty to thirty crores of people, the backing of the whole lineage is required so that the karmas get distributed throughout the universe. When a guru initiates a person he takes the responsibility for all of the person’s karma till that moment and the disciple thereby becomes free from all the karma. The guru further constantly purifies the disciple’s thinking too. Listen to the full discourse to get an in-depth understanding of this beautiful topic.
