If I do enough Seva (service), if I become spiritual enough, the heaviness will go away. Right?" Shukla Master chuckled. It was a dry, dusty sound. "You corporate people. You think Karma is a vending machine. You put in a coin of 'good deeds' and expect a packet of 'peace' to fall out." He offered Kabir an orange segment. Kabir took it, impatient. "This is called Spiritual Bypassing," Shukla Master said, using the English term with surprising precision. "You are using God to avoid yourself. You are building a temple over a wound so you don't have to look at the blood. But the blood will stain the floor, beta."
