Changing Your Everyday Karma

Baba Sri Siva Speaks:

“Everyone has his or her daily karma. Someone is a professor, barber, gardener, doctor, engineer, beggar, and each has to do his or her work. When you get up in the morning, what is in front of you is that day's job. Your primary responsibility for the day is your job. No one can escape job karma unless you have retired with millions of dollars and have a huge inheritance. Unfortunately these individuals are rare, and after all, they are not my concern.

My empathy is with those who love or hate their job (mostly dislike) but have to do it because of bills. I want to give you a spiritual and material solution for everyday karma. Every day has its own spirit. When you wake up in the morning, you may have one or a combination of the following emotions: great, terrible, average or confused.

Where do these emotions come from? There is a material cause and a spiritual cause for them. The material cause can be discerned easily. You feel great because you are getting a check or a new high-paying job. Likewise, you feel terrible because you are getting laid-off or you are breaking up with a friend. You need to deal with these material issues to the best of your ability and in your own style. I am not concerned with that aspect of the problem. I am concerned with the spirits of the day.

Who are the spirits of the day? The spirits of the day are planetary beings and the Gods who control the planetary beings. Your daily karma resulting in joy or sorrow is directly related to these two beings. You may not see these beings but they are there whether you like it or not to conduct their cosmic business. The yogis and rishis, who are seers of the spiritual reality, have identified these spirits who are the agent of your everyday karma.

For instance, it is Monday. You wake up in the morning and you feel miserable or happy depending on how the moon, who is the ruler of the day, is disposed toward you during the time of your birth and during your current moment. When the moon is unfavorable, you go through emotions of depression. You smoke, drink, offend others, etc. When the moon is favorable, you are upbeat and do a lot of creative and productive work. Now the moon is also controlled by a god-spirit and in this case, the God is Siva. You need to propitiate both the planetary spirit and his overlord. Once you do this, you can sufficiently control not only the mood of the day but also its course.

During my 49th birth, I wanted to create a system for this on the internet but the yogis and rishis warned me of dire consequences that I will face for disclosing secretive, divine laws. I'm certainly aware of the consequences, but still have made my own choice to go ahead with my project. I want to accomplish this though an everyday karma egroup starting from January 2002.”
