The explanation of Runanubandha from the reference given below is:
The concept of runanubandha suggests that every individual we come into contact with has a karmic tie to us. These associations may be either favourable or negative, depending on the nature of the activities that we have taken in the past. As an instance, we could have good connections with those who have assisted us in the past, whereas negative connections may exist with others whom we have caused damage to.
I believe the concept of runanubandha exists not just in a physical sense but also in other areas such as –
- Sharing of karma
- Triggering of an intuition or an emotion
- Triggering of thoughts
I always have this notion that we should be mindful about whom we are accepting help from including friendships, monies, jobs and favours. This is because of runanubandha.
I have been awestruck considering the astounding ways in which the divine Adi Para Sakthi is weaving the stage for the expending of karmic debts by the zillions of souls in this universe. I have also considered about her penchant to create motifs, reuse, recycle, follow patterns, honour symmetry and balance, to use the least charge of energies possible to support a manifestation etc., So it is highly possible that she uses runanubandha as a means to arrange souls in proximity to expend karmas.
Consider the following scenarios:
1. In one of the lifetimes, a lady (soul with less karmic intensity) in order to gain wealth willingly becomes a consort to a mafia person (soul with high karmic intensity) and sustains this relation for a prolonged time.
Though the lady did any do any crime on her own, the runanubandha between them can be expected to drag this lady’s soul into all the contexts/realms where the mafia person’s soul travels till the karmic debts are settled!
Her act of receiving illegal money from the mafia person tied to criminal activities can push her soul into deplorable conditions. At the same time, her acts of compassion during the same lifetime may offer some protection to her soul.
Her resentment to continue this relationship, her act of repentance and discontinuing the relationship and possibly some of her acts of positive karmas may redeem her from this runanubandha.
2. Say in one of the lifetimes, a noble sadhu (soul with high karmic intensity) employs a cleaner (a soul with low karmic intensity) to clean his mutt. The cleaner may be uneducated and earning paltry sum. Let us assume that this cleaner has spent considerable time in this work.
Because of this runanubandha, the sage’s soul is expected to drag the cleaner’s soul wherever he goes in his next births till the karma is expended. Fortune may favour the cleaner and he may be born into a rich family or become an educated person in his next life because of this runanubandha with the noble sage.
So I request the readers to be aware of this rub-off effect and protect yourself from any potential harm in this life time and in the others that may follow.
