You may have heard that meditation burns off karma. You may even have tried it and have found that it works fine. But what exactly does karma burn off? Is it based on merit or demerit? It seems that the whole idea of burning off anything you do to yourself is a bit strange and even has a scientific basis.

“Watch your thoughts, they become words;
watch your words, they become actions;
watch your actions, they become habits;
watch your habits, they become character;
watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

In simple terms, your mind generates your personality. The thoughts you harbour in your mind create your character. Thus, whatever you do in your life, good or bad, is actually determined by your character. Whatever you harbour in your mind is actually based on your nature – either you are a greedy person or a generous one. Thus, whatever you do, positive or negative, will be determined by your nature.



This is where meditation can burn away any karma. You see, when you meditate, you clear your mind and turn it into a tool for changing your personality. Thus, any bad or evil thoughts you may entertain are purged away by your mind. Karma is a part of your nature, and just because you are a human being it is bound to manifest itself in some form or other. Thus, you can’t avoid it.

However, you can enhance this process and use meditation to destroy any bad or evil influence you may have in your life. The better you become at meditation, the more powerful it becomes. Thus, as you strengthen your mind with meditation, it becomes strong enough to overcome all obstacles. In fact, it is not very difficult to overcome obstacles, as you can just make use of your own mind as much as possible. And the more you strengthen your nature, the more powerful your mind becomes.



Thus, if you take meditation as a powerful tool to achieve greater merit, then it becomes even easier for you to get rid of your bad influence in life. This is a basic principle of the law of attraction. In fact, this is one of the major aspects of meditation which is a proven method to develop inner peace. As you become better and fitter through meditation, you will automatically develop a better nature, and your karma too will disintegrate.

When your karma burns, then that means you have done something very positive. You have crossed over from bad to good, thus achieving a higher level of soul and spirit. And your better nature will shine forth as your personality becomes ever more polished and honed.

Becoming A Better You

This is the primary benefit of meditation – its ability to make you become better. Secondly, it gives you great control over your mind. As your mind is cleansed of all the negative energy generated due to your past actions, it starts to think clearly. And it always thinks about doing only good things! That is why meditation is such a powerful weapon against demerit. It not only makes you strong internally but also helps you to become strong externally – which is extremely helpful if you are a very strong person!

When you meditate regularly, you become strongly attracted to things or people who have a strong positive reputation. This automatically cleanses your past and future from demerit. So those who practise meditation will find their destiny smoothened out very soon. You will be able to meet people with whom you can have long discussions about anything. And you will also have the strength to deal with them head-on, without any fear. The strength of your character will increase and it will become very easy for you to live up to all your ambitions and dreams.
