Sri Saradamma
Q: Some people say that the Guru burns up some of the devotee's karma so that the devotee doesn't have to experience it. Is this true?
Saradamma: If you completely surrender to the Guru, all your karma and all your puNya and papa will be instantly burned up and you will be forever free of them. But for this to happen total surrender is required. The Guru cannot take any of your karma from you unless you offer it to him as an act of surrender. The initiative must be taken by the devotee. If the devotee willingly offers his whole body and mind to the Guru, the Guru accepts it, the mind dies, and all karma dies with it.
