The karma
which brings about seismic catastrophes and other national disasters includes
in its sweep vast numbers of individuals whose special karma contains sudden
death, disease, or prolonged physical suffering. It is interesting and
instructive
to notice the way in which people who have not such karmic liabilities are
called away from the scene of a great catastrophe, while others are hurried
into it; when an earthquake slays a number of people there will be
cases of "miraculous escape" – one called
away by a telegram, by urgent business, etc. – and of equally miraculous
tossing of victims into the place in time for their slaying. If such calling
away proved to be impossible, then some special arrangement at the moment
guarded from death, a beam, keeping off falling stones, or the like.
When a
natural catastrophe is impending, people with appropriate individual karma are
gathered together in the place, as in the flood at
The local
catastrophe is used to work off particular karmas. Or a carriage taking a man
to the station is stopped in a street block, and he misses the train. He is
angry, but the train is wrecked and he is saved. It is not that the block was
there in order to stop him, but that the block was utilised
for the
purpose. At
Sometimes an
ego has a debt of sudden death to pay, but it has not been included in the
debts to be discharged during the present incarnation; but his presence in some
accident brought about by a collective karma offers the opportunity of
discharging the debt "out of due time". The ego
prefers to seize the opportunity and to get rid of the karma, and his body is
struck away with the rest.
