On the path of Spiritual Growth, one experiences all that one has been the cause OF consciously or unconsciously.
The TRUTH is that KARMA is clearing, and the ATMAN is rising from the UNCONSCIOUS to the CONSCIOUS.
This realization dawns much after ALL the KARMA is settled and IF the individual is truly awakened from the experience, only then can the individual appreciate the magnificence of the JOURNEY OF SELF-REALISATION.
There is always someone along on that Journey, who stands with you unconditionally, who has believed in you and experienced as much pain as you do and that person is your SOUL MATE!
