Incomplete Karma: The Broken Images That Bind You
By Dr. Parth, Neurologist, Neurospacescientist
When you complete the seasons of the body and the mind — when you have lived, seen, and witnessed every cycle fully — you naturally rise beyond it. You don’t have to escape the mind or the body. If you simply allow them to run their course in full awareness, they become doorways — not boundaries.
But most human beings have not lived fully. Not because they didn’t have time or opportunity — but because they didn’t have the courage to witness.
You see, karma is not some punishment from heaven. Karma is simply incompletion. If something remains unfinished within you — whether a thought, an emotion, a promise, or even a simple longing — it will churn in your mind like an unfinished song, seeking closure. And if it doesn’t find it in this life, it will find its way into the next. And the next.
A Mind Hungry for Completion
Let’s say you told someone, “I’m coming,” and you didn’t show up. In your logical thinking, it may mean nothing. “Ah, just a casual word.” But in existential terms, you made a promise — to the other, yes, but more importantly to yourself. You set a karmic thread into motion. The moment you failed to fulfill it, a ripple of incompletion was born.
Now multiply this by a thousand. Think of all the words you spoke and never stood by. All the emotions you started and never resolved. All the experiences you longed for but never tasted. Each one is a broken thread. And your mind — like a weaver gone mad — tries to tie these threads back together.
But the more incomplete threads there are, the more scattered your energies become. Your system becomes restless. Your body reflects it as tension. Your mind reflects it as anxiety. Your emotions reflect it as confusion. Your energy reflects it as disconnection. And yes — eventually, your health reflects it as disease.
The Dishes of Karma
You eat a beautiful meal. But you don't wash the dishes. What happens?
They pile up.
Not just in your kitchen — in your karmic kitchen. If you are not responsible for the actions you create, the karma remains sticky. Your mind keeps returning to the seed of that action because it has not been dissolved. And until it dissolves — through awareness, through responsibility, through witnessing — it becomes the very weight that binds you to this earth.
The Mind Is a Shattered Image
Imagine a perfect sphere. Now, imagine it shattering into countless molecular fragments. Each piece holds the memory of that whole. Each piece longs to return. That’s your mind. Fragmented by incomplete experiences, broken promises, unfulfilled desires, misunderstood emotions.
Each piece wants to become whole again. That’s why you have memory. That’s why you have imagination. That’s why you have time. Because the mind — in its shattered state — is trying to rebuild the image.
But time doesn’t heal karma. Awareness does.
If you are disturbed while building that mental image, you feel it. There’s an unease. The more interruptions to your completion process, the more unease there is. Eventually, that unease becomes chronic. It becomes disease — physical, emotional, psychological, even spiritual.
You don’t need to suppress your mind. You just need to let it complete its cycles in full awareness.
Breath: The Original Witness
This is why, in the yogic tradition, we say: watch your breath. Not because the breath is special, but because it is the only cycle that is always complete, always present, always truthful. Every inhale begins. Every exhale ends. Nothing hidden. Nothing broken. If you stay with the breath, the mind begins to mirror this completeness.
And when the mind tastes what it means to complete — it no longer longs. It dissolves.
Live Consciously, Or Be Haunted Unconsciously
We keep telling you — not to live in guilt, not to chase desires, not to suppress anything — but to live consciously. Because when you live with awareness, you complete each action fully. You don’t leave behind karmic residue. You clean your plate before you move on. You live like a yogi.
Otherwise, you roam like a ghost. Not the kind in horror films — but a mental ghost, haunted by a million incomplete images. Longings that should have ended, but never did.
So look at your life. Don’t just seek spiritual highs. Seek karmic closure. Finish what you start. Say what you mean. Do what you promise. Feel what arises — completely. Witness it — utterly.
And one day, when you have seen the whole movie of your body and your mind — from beginning to end — you will walk out of the theatre smiling, untouched.
That’s liberation.
That’s yoga.
That’s freedom.
“You Have a Glimpse of the Divine — and Then a Thousand Incompletions Pull You Back”
You may have one moment of true stillness.
One flash where everything dissolves.
One breathless second where the Divine reveals itself — not as some distant deity, but as the very core of who you are.
And yet…
You return.
Not because the Divine left you.
But because you never left yourself.
Right now, you have one moment of completion — against a thousand karmic fragments inside you.
Your longings, your wounds, your broken thoughts, your forgotten promises… they are all incomplete loops trying to find closure.
So even if you touch the Infinite, you fall back into the realm of unfinished business.
And then, in the name of God, you start living those same thousand incompletions again — with more emotion, more devotion, more suffering.
You call it bhakti.
But it’s just an entanglement in disguise.
If the mind is not whole, even God becomes a longing, not a liberation.
So I’m not here to give you more divine moments.
I’m here to make you complete — so when the Divine touches you,
you never fall back again.
