Gurunathar’s Divine Message – Moolam Pooja ~19-07-2005
I would like to shed light on a specific question.”Do children have to bear the results of the sins committed by their parents?” I can explain this easily. During this age if a parent becomes a thief his son cannot be punished for his crime. Even the law does not allow this. The Karmic law dictates the same. Each person has to experience the fruit of his own actions and fulfill his destiny. Sometimes the joint family practice can create issues. For example: If parents keep indifferent health, the other members of the family are affected. The reason is the bonds of affection created by relationships. They do not suffer for reasons in their individual lives but spend their karma through such relationships. This is due to the bonds of love and affection. Similarly good parents sometimes have a child who has an accumulation of negative karma and have to suffer through looking after him. Such a child is born to them with the purpose of their completing their karma. Still we cannot say that the sins of the father are visited on the son. The explanation is: each person has to experience the result of his own actions.
