The One Who Is Causing You Pain.. Do Not Take Revenge — This Is a Chakravyuha.

A sister asked a question — "Bhai ji, without doing past life regression, how can one know whether the person causing me pain has any old account with me or not? And if they are doing wrong by me — should I take revenge?"
This question is completely natural. When someone keeps causing us pain continuously — the mind naturally asks: "What did I do? Or should I do something too?"
Let us understand both questions today with great depth — because understanding them causes many of life's mental tangles to resolve on their own.
First Answer — Asking Whether There Is an Account or Not Is Itself Unnecessary
The people who come into our lives — especially those in close relationships — parents, siblings, husband and wife, children, in-laws — 90 to 95 percent of these people are connected from a previous life.
This is not speculation. This is the natural law of the soul's journey. Before we take birth — in our higher self, in our soul state — we decide which souls to meet in this life, with whom to complete our accounts.
This is called soul planning. When we are in that elevated state — everything is visible clearly. The entire give-and-take of all relationships is visible. And we decide — in this birth I will meet these people, complete accounts with them, give something to some, receive something from others.
But the moment we take birth on earth — all those memories are erased. The consciousness of the body becomes so dominant that what was hundreds of births of accounts shrinks to just the 30–35 years of this lifetime.
And that is why when someone causes us pain — we ask, "Why me?" But the answer is not found there because the story is very old.
The Account — Not of Money, But of Pain
Here is something very important that is often not understood.
Suppose in a past life you took a thousand rupees from someone. Now they have come in this life. If they receive those thousand rupees back — will the account be settled?
No.
Because the account is not of money — it is of pain. What those thousand rupees meant to that soul in their life — that is what matters.
A person who earns daily wages, works hard all day for 200–300 rupees, saved ten rupees at a time to gather one thousand — what were those thousand rupees to them? It was one week's bread for the children. It was the mother's medicine.
And a person who plays in crores — for them, that thousand rupees? No more than the cost of a cup of tea.
So when we cause pain to someone — how deep that pain was, how much that soul suffered — that same depth of pain is what that soul brings back into our life. Not money — the payment is in pain.
Taking Revenge — and Getting Trapped in a New Cycle
Now the second question — should you take revenge?
Think about this — someone did wrong to you. Now you did wrong to them. But what you did was not exactly equal to what they did. It ended up a little less, or a little more.
The soul against whom you took revenge — felt that the balance had still not been settled. They will do something to you again.
And this cycle will keep going.
In one birth you are on top, in another they are on top. Sometimes you strike, sometimes they do. Sometimes you take, sometimes they take. And this goes on birth after birth.
This is the Chakravyuha — the inescapable formation. And whoever gets trapped in this Chakravyuha cannot get out until one of them makes the resolve to break it.
Blessings — The Invisible Armour of One Who Serves
Those who serve others, who give, who accumulate punya — an invisible protection travels with them.
An example — in a past life, someone built a charitable hospital. Lakhs of people were treated at low cost. They gave their heartfelt blessings. Those blessings travel with that soul into the next birth.
When a pandemic like Corona came — some people fell severely ill, some lost their lives. And there were some people who were not affected at all, or had a mild experience and recovered quickly. This was not just luck — this was the work of those blessings that soul had carried with them.
In the same way — a person who serves nature, plants trees, cares for Mother Earth — nature's collective consciousness recognises that soul. When a flood comes somewhere, or a storm — nature gives them an invisible signal to move away from there.
This is the fortune that is built through seva. And it is this fortune that makes life easier or harder.
So What Should Be Done? — Settle the Account at the Energy Level
Here comes the most practical part.
The soul that is troubling you — stop cursing them. Stop engaging in conflict with them. And make this resolve — "I want nothing from you. I only want freedom from this bond."
Then sit in a state of meditation. From God — who is the ocean of peace, love, power, and abundance — receive energy. And send it towards the soul you once caused pain to.
Say — "O pure soul, in return for the pain you suffered because of me — receive this power of peace, this energy of love, these rays of happiness."
This energy gradually begins to fill their pain. As their pain begins to fill — their resentment towards you begins to reduce. And one day they release you on their own — because the account is settled.
Stay Connected to God — Then Small Things No Longer Matter
A beautiful example. Suppose someone owed you a thousand rupees and is not giving them back. This troubles you.
But if you become so prosperous — in the mind, in energy, in the power of God — that those thousand rupees simply do not matter anymore. Then you will go to them and say — "Let it go, brother, keep it. I don't need it."
And your bond with that soul will be severed in that very moment.
This is what happens when we connect with God. We become so full that the petty desire for revenge dissolves on its own. And when there is no desire for revenge — there is no Chakravyuha either.
The One Who Is Causing You Pain.. Do Not Take Revenge — This Is a Chakravyuha.
Whether the account is old or new — taking revenge is the beginning of a new cycle. It never ends.
It ends when — you connect with God and begin sending them energy. When you settle your account through sadhana, not through revenge.
And the day this attitude is formed — from that day you will no longer need to ask "was it an old account or a new one" — because you will have the strength to settle every account.
Stay free. Stay light. Stay happy.
