al. Posted March 15, 2010 If you work as a healer, by healing someone are you taking on their karmic burden?

Athanor Posted March 15, 2010 If you work as a healer, by healing someone are you taking on their karmic burden? No. If he's sick because of his karma then you won't get sick because of healing. However, if one's sick because of one's karma then you might not be able to heal that person - this depends on whether the karma which caused the sickness is depleted or not. Btw, not all illness is caused by a person's karma. Â Does the good karma generated by helping someone offset the original karma that has produced the illness? If you help someone then the good karma goes to you and not to the other person. He will be helped by you because his karma makes this possible.

(perhaps i am just overcomplicating something that's in most cases, unfathomable!) A If you do something to attain good karmic results then you won't really reach your goal. Bad or even undue intent indeed affects the fruits of your deed on a karmic level. The highest result comes from a completely altruistic intent which is to help every being simply to give them something. This is driven by compassion. Compassionate behavior is the best way to deplete your own karma. But if you do good to others for the sake of depleting your karma then it's not that compassionate anymore. So the best is if you don't think about your own karma, just do good things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
