Clearing the Karma of 8.4 Million Lifetimes!!!

The e-mail that came from Sikh Dharma Dasvandh today has several commentaries on the beauty of the Mul Mantra (fyi, the one we are chanting...), and one meditation variation that says you would "clear the karma of 8.4 million lifetimes". By the time our lung volume increases from this one, that might be doable for me.

Also, the top of the e-mail has a quote by YB where he describes the chanting of the last four lines as creating a space where no one can touch you. This meditation is more powerful than anything I've done in this tradition yet...it is drawing wonderful things toward me and those I love, coming with some pain as the past ways of being must let go. That old monkey on my shoulders, he was here last night in my room, masquerading like the incubus he used to show up as in the middle of the night, but I finally thought to say the Baba Siri Chand mantra. Kirtan Soheila didn't get it, nor calling on Guru Nanak, but with the Baba Siri Chand I could go back to sleep. I'm a little exhausted from all the waking up and fighting him off, but I'll recover.

I wonder what would have happened if I'd said the Mul Mantra? Or got up and chanted it the way we do even just once? Fear grabbed me as I felt that presence and Baba Siri Chand took it away though. I know this meditation is powerful. If it is drawing that much resistance to letting go of me...it's powerful. Good!!!
