What Are Karmic Accounts?

We are not individuals acting alone in this world drama; we act in this extraordinary drama or play of life with other actors or souls who along with us play their different roles in different physical costumes or physical bodies at different times in the drama. During the process of interaction with other actors (souls) and according to the type of interaction with them, we create positive or negative karmic accounts that become the basis of our connections with others.

The reasons for which a specific relationship goes well or not at the present time, are in the so called karmic account that I have created with the other soul in the past.

The past could be in this birth alone or in one or many previous births. The souls that play the roles of parents, children, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, friends, office colleagues and others whom I know form a network for the giving and receiving of happiness and sorrow depending on karmic accounts established in the past or being created in the present with them.

The strongest relationships that I have now were established previously. We knew each other in other births but in different roles. The son of some births ago returns now as the father, the best friend comes back as the sister etc. As long as the karmic account exists, the interactions between two souls continue. When there is nothing more to give or receive, the paths between the two souls separate by death, a divorce or simply by the loss of contact. An e.g. of this is our school friends. We are not in contact with many of our friends in our school days today. Another e.g. is when we change jobs; we might lose complete contact with our old colleagues.
