How to pay back all karmic debts from previous lifetimes within the present lifetime?

Lecture by Master Vi-Kien, Montreal, 16 October 1983

Question: Dear Master, you said that only through spiritual cultivation will we be able to pay back our karmic debts from previous lifetimes in order to attain peace and lightness. But according to the common view, whether they eat vegetarian or not, we see that both spiritual and non-spiritual people have to utilize the five elements in order to nourish this physical body. Please explain more clearly how a spiritual person can pay back all their debts. How can we remain serene, and be able to resolve all our debts from previous lives in this present lifetime?

Answer by Master Vi-Kien:

When we are aware that we are children from the same Divine Father, and we are receiving assistance from the whole universe, then we are carrying a debt, and we must ask ourselves: “Why do we receive assistance from the whole universe?” We receive this assistance in order to awaken our consciousness and return to the Lord. Therefore, the treasures of Heaven are immense and infinite. As humans come on earth, they have the right to take these treasures, enjoy them, then they will leave. Heaven and Earth have given us their treasures, but we must awaken our consciousness. We must be aware that we are indebted to the whole universe. So where do these debts lead us? What is the goal of our divine Father and Mother in sending us to study abroad? The goal is for us to succeed. We are studying abroad, but we are unable to realize Compassion, Lucidity, and Courage. Then, how can we pay back our debts? Therefore, we must cultivate ourselves spiritually and we must achieve Compassion, Lucidity, and Courage clearly in our consciousness. We should always follow the journey of compassionate love and forgiveness with openness, only then will we be able to pay back our debts. Our Divine Father, the beloved Father of humanity, is longing for His Children to achieve enlightenment, so that they return to the infinite law of equilibrium. Then, they will be able to contribute their infinite work to the whole universe.

On this earth, we have the proof that our earthly father wants us to succeed. Similarly, our Divine Father wants us to succeed. However, the child does not succeed and destroys himself. This physical body follows the law of the five elements. If one does not abide by the law of the five elements and does not comprehend this law thoroughly, one is committing a sin on this earth. The Divine Father brings us on earth to spread joy and relieve suffering, to help the suffering people, but in the contrary, we cause more suffering to others. How could we pay back our debts then?

Therefore, we must practice meditation and perform good deeds in the hope of opening our spiritual consciousness, so that it may evolve higher in accordance with its level. The World Above always guides us from one stage to the other. We have the proof through our breath. Everyone inhales and exhales similarly. God does not make calculations like we do, and we need to use our breath to help us advance and return to the realm of eternity. We have the exercise of Cyclical Breathing in the Vô-Vi method. At the beginning of our practice, we breathe heavily when doing this exercise, but now, our breath is deeper, lighter and purer, we are breathing lighter and lighter each day. When we use our mind and consciousness to direct our breathing, immediately, we will be able to use the cyclical breathing! It means that you have entered the domain of spiritual energy. Once you have entered the domain of spiritual energy, if you continue your spiritual ascension, you will be freed from the earthly sphere. You will no longer be constrained by your profane heart, so you are no longer suffering. Only then will you be able to enter the shore of enlightenment to abandon all miseries and vicissitudes of life. At that time, we will work more than presently. Currently, we talk a lot, but we do not work much. Presently, we are unable to help our own body, we only take advantage of it and waste it, and cause it to become ill due to our own unrighteous consciousness!

Therefore, we must abandon our profane character and purify ourselves at all costs, so that our body could be cultivated spiritually and advance together with the present Master-Soul. This is a huge responsibility and not a narrow-minded task. To be a human on earth is not an easy achievement. How can you possess such a miraculous body? This is not the decision of your parents, but this is the work of God! The structure of this miraculous body has to be achieved through many years and many lifetimes. No one can print your harmonious and subtle finger, your harmonious and subtle consciousness. You possess all the spiritual science within yourselves. The present science shows that we have brain energy, we have a computer, but you already have this computer since a long time. When your computer located at the center of energy on top of your head projects out and harmonizes with the computer of the universe, you will no longer forget anything. We forget the path of return because of our rivalry, intransigence and darkness of mind. Once we open ourselves up, all paths appear clearly inside our consciousness. Therefore, we possess unlimited treasures, which is this transcendental science.

Currently, you practice the Vo-Vi Method of Esoteric Science, and you do not follow the material science. But thanks to the Vô-Vi spiritual science, you will transform yourselves and realize that the material science has progressed with the assistance of the spiritual science. 

Therefore, the more you explore it, the more you feel inspired. The more you advance, the more you open yourselves up. The more you advance, the more you see that you must contribute your share and advance further, i.e., you must return to your equilibrium, which is your own infinite consciousness. Only then will you be able to clearly see the true image of God.

It is easier said than done. However, the obstacles are blessings from God to help the spiritual consciousness advance further. We should accept the adversities in order to learn and strengthen ourselves. We borrow these obstacles to mold us into an unbreakable steel! We are no longer a piece of soft metal! When we express our great vow, we must follow it exactly. Then you will succeed, you will certainly succeed, no doubt about it. Regardless of your chosen religion on earth, if you can build an unbreakable faith, you will certainly arrive at the shore of enlightenment. You will always have the opportunity to return to the shore of enlightenment in accordance with the great vow you have expressed.

Therefore, we must pay back our debts, the debt of food and clothing as granted by the Lord. God has sent us to study abroad, we must be successful in our spiritual cultivation in order to pay back our debts in a worthy manner. At that time, we will receive the mission to spread joy and relieve suffering in the future, which is to spread the ray of light of serenity that each of us possesses. At that time, the Light of God will descend on earth and change the earth from an impure world into a heavenly world. It all depends on humanity.
