According to Hindu mythology, souls do not die. They are just reborn in different bodies and hence the belief in reincarnation. Hence, reincarnation is the concept of an individual being born again and again, each time in a different body. There is good karma and bad karma – good being the good deeds that have been done in past lives which one can reap in the present life and bad being the bad deeds or hurts inflicted on others which creates problems in the current life and are identified as Karmic Debt Numbers.
What are Karmic Debt Numbers?
•Just as a balance sheet carries debit and credit, the Karmic balance sheet also carries its debit and credit account.
•Karmic debt is quite simply all the debit that one has gathered through past deeds and thoughts in the form of abuse of power, love, work etc. for self interest and greed at the cost of others
•Karmic Debt Numbers 13, 14, 16, 19 – showing up as indications that things need to be corrected and converted into credit in this life.
•People who have any of these numbers in their Life path, Destiny, Soul number or Birthday have taken on an additional lesson that they need to learn in the current lifetime, in addition to other challenges that come their way.
•Numerology says that each person is a spiritual being with a soul that has lived many lives to move forward in its quest of higher evolution. During this journey, the soul gathers many lessons, hardships and benefits – all of contributing to its wealth of wisdom and has many choices that benefit one in future lifetimes. In numerology, this burden is called a karmic debt.
•As mentioned earlier, the numbers that carry this Karmic Debt are 13,14,16 and 19 and become more important if found in the core numbers (date of birth, life path, Name number, Soul number or soul urge and personality), and in the various cycles during the course of lifetime.
Karmic Debt number 13/4
Hard work all the way
•This is the most misunderstood number with many finding it superstitious and a number of ill lucks. But actually, those with number 13 are more to do with hard work in all areas of life and not bad luck.
•The other aspect for a 13 number is to be disciplined in all matters, practical and standing up for commitments made else the lessons will continue into the next lifetime as well
•The more they can work with sincerity and commitment, the better it is else problems will magnify till they accept the limitations imposed on them
• This is not to say that people with karmic debt number 13/4 in their life cannot succeed and gain fame…history has enough examples of people who have gained fame through sheer hard work….
•In short, maintain focus, structure and order, pursue tasks with commitment and discipline, follow through on commitments made and keep house/work in tidy working order
•Hence the key to succeeding with the 13 karmic debt number is Focus. They should not scatter their energy but define one path and goal and direct all their energies there. Also not fall prey to poor self-image or self-esteem despite the obstacles faced.
Karmic Debt number 14/5
Balance is the essence of this life.
•This karmic debt number worships the value of freedom at all costs and the debt has come about due to the misuse of this need for freedom at the cost of hurting others. It has come from being irresponsible and not accounted for their needs over others.
•The risk that a 14/5 carries is imbalance and adopting the negative of number 5 – taking risks in sexual or lustful pursuits, flirting between relationships or jobs feeling bored, no sense of accomplishment and forsaking the good of the family in mind.
•They key to this karmic debt number is commitment, which had been missing and found very hard to conduct in previous lives – situations that make it hard to commit will come unless the lesson of order and focus is learnt.
•The 4 in 14 also suggests that mental and emotional stability will be required, trying to hold a steady course in the sea of chaos and continual changes.
•By providing a belief and value system that steers you clear of temptations and provides you order and moderation would lead to success.
•There would also be an acute danger of falling victim to abuse of drugs, alcohol, and overindulgence in sensual pleasures, such as food and sex. One would need to put limits in this and be self-modest and balanced in all such aspects to overcome the debt.
•Also important is the need to maintain order in life, and to establish one's own emotional stability. You must also be willing to adapt to the unexpected occurrences of life, all the while maintaining your focus on your goals and dreams.
Karmic Debt number 16/7
The abuse of love
•The karmic debt number 16/7 arises from past illicit love affairs that caused misery for others leading to the abuse of love and faith. It is essentially the inability to act responsibly and faithfully in matters of love and not stay committed to one person.
•This karmic debt number is expressed as 16/7, as the reduced number 7 shows the remedy for getting rid of the debt, avoiding the negative traits of 7. The traits that need to be avoided are Indifference, detachment, over analysis of people leading to aloofness, withdrawing from them, being obstinate and difficult to approach and being insular in need for privacy disregarding the need for communication by others around.
•The number 16/7 is the path of personal development and spiritual growth but one that can only come when the person rebuilds the new path from scratch.
•The 16 Karmic Debt number can be a path of progress and great spiritual growth wherein one develops great faith in the hands of God. Through such faith, gratitude and peace are firmly established.
Karmic Debt number 19/1
The abuse of power
•The last of the karmic debt number is 19/1. This is one of the roughest and problematic of debts. This number shows a complete disregard and contempt of all that was sacred, compassionate, and spiritually correct in the past lives.
•This number shows that some kind of abuse of power has been there in past lives by acting in a completely self-centred manner, blind to everything except immediate self-gratification.
•The lesson of this karmic debt number is hence to be self-reliant and use power properly and not only for self-benefit •The 19/1 indicates a past life where you had a position of power in some way and you used it completely for your own good and to live a life of lavishness for yourself than using it for the good of all, in some way you used your power to gain favours and status to satisfy personal desires.
•Success come from looking past your own needs to the needs of others - working towards inter- dependence leading to your own independence than becoming parasitic or weak, depending on others. The 1 in the 19 number always stands for new beginnings and needs to be use.
•The most important lesson for the 19 Karmic Debt number is: While you seek to stand on your own feet, you are still a human being, deeply connected with others and in need of the support, assistance, and human understanding that all people need. However, seek this help with humility and return the favours so that there is no recurrent abuse of power. Be self-reliant but not self-centred.
