Unless you were born independently wealthy, at some point, you have to consider career.
In Sanskrit what you do-whether it is a business or a job-is called karma. Karma literally means action. What you do is karma because karma is performing an action. You are doing exactly what you wanted to do.
If you are not doing anything that means that's what you wanted to do. You wanted to do nothing. Realize that what you do for a living is karmically determined. Most people will have a job while very few people become independent entrepreneurs.
I have seen people coming into the earth-plane doing the same thing birth after birth. Unless you become conscious, you cannot break away from your karma. Do you want to break away from your karma? This is the first question you need to ask. And this is a question that everyone should consider. Am I in the right job?
Ask yourself this question: Are you happy doing this thing you are doing? Are you making enough money? Is it worthwhile to continue this activity? This is a very, very important question for everyone to ask. The moment you ask this question, you will begin to generate certain impulses within your karmic consciousness.
At least if you begin to ask this question it opens a way to lead you to something else. So I am happy when people honestly consider these questions.
There are sounds to help harmonize you with the right profession.
MANTRA: OM SADA SHIVOM
[Pronounced: SAHDA SHE-VOHM]
Put this sound, Sada Shivom, into all your sense organs by chanting it out loud repeatedly, with eyes opened or closed:
One minute in the right eye
One minute in the left eye
One minute in the right ear
One minute in the left ear
One minute in the right nostril
One minute in the left nostril
One minute on the tip of your tongue
One minute on the middle of your tongue
One minute on the back of the tongue and tonsils
Then put the sound into your third eye, which corresponds with your pituitary.
This sound will help you find your way to the right profession.
I urge you to keep a calendar. Write out your weekly goals. There are usually four weeks in a month, so meditate on how to make the most of your time.
What options do I have? What can I do? Even asking those questions is worthwhile. The Divine is going to help you. The Higher Self is listening to you. It is going to pop ideas into your mind. 'Hey, this is not good. Go here, go there.' You will have guidance from inside you.
MANTRA: OM KALA SAMHARA MURTNE NAMAHA
[Pronounced: OHM KAH-LA SAM-HAR-A MERT-NE NA-MA-HA]
This is the mantra that will remove time karma. These sounds will destroy bad time, slow time. Recite this mantra over and over, as much as possible.
Om Kala Samhara Murtne Namaha
I pray to the God of Time, to give me understanding about time.>
Chant with sincerity and deep emotion. You are asking the Divine to condense time for you, to accelerate time for you.
In the Greek tradition, the god of time is called Kronos. In Sanskrit, the god of time is called Kala. The English words chronology and calendar seem to be drawn from these words.
In addition to working with these sounds, become conscious of how you spend your time. Relate your concept of time to money. That's very important. When you do these things together (the meditation, and then consciousness focused in weekly goals) you will find miracles happening in your life. But then, you should not get distracted; you have to be really focused on your goals.
Since you are dealing with karma, you may want to listen to the chant Thiru Neela Kantam as often as you can. The Tamil Siddhas called it the "karma-busting" mantra.
You can also use the meditation Ara Kara, because Ara Kara is new karma. The Ara Kara sound was discovered by the enlightened saint Thirumular and is presented in his work Tirumantivam as a tool for manifesting your desires. Be grateful to him for sharing this wisdom that he received from his own meditations.
Your gratitude for each mantra or tool creates an inner connection between you and the world of enlightened beings who have received and passed on these deep wisdoms. This inner connection can greatly assist you. Always be grateful for receiving spiritual knowledge.
So to repeat:
Thiru Neela Kantam destroys karma that you want to get rid of
Ara Kara creates the karma you want to manifest and removes the idea that
anything is impossible
Many people have found tremendous things happening in their lives with these two chants. I am so happy to make these sounds available to you because they are so powerful.
Now, I will talk a little bit about space-or place-karma.
Everyone has space karma. They hang on to a place and die in the same place. If you change your space karma, there will be tremendous happenings in your life.
What does this have to do with you? If you have lived in a particular city for a long time and if you've not had any success, then you might want to move. Make a decision. It's not going to be easy because karma is very powerful and won't easily permit you to move.
If you move to another city or another country, you will create totally new karmic impulses. This is very, very important. You will come into contact with different forces.
As regards space karma, I just want to add one more thing. In many spiritual traditions, people go on pilgrimages. Pilgrimages are trips to sites with a great amount of power. That's why I take people to India to certain power spots. Once they go to the power spots, their karma that is so frozen suddenly begins to become liquid. When it is liquid, you can then change your karma.
