Eradication of Karmas ( VIpassana and Bhakti)

Eradication of Karma Sanskars
------------------------------------
Vipassana: Bad Karma arises as unpleasant sensation which on observing equanimously, it gets eradicated without new seed. Good Karma arises as pleasant subtle sensations which on observing equanimouly , gets eradicated without new seed.

Bhakti: Bad Karma melts away in the fire of seperation from God where as Good Karma melts away with intense pleasure derived from mediatiing on God. Source : Words of Swami Vivekananda on Bhakti Yoga.
" Until the bondages of the soul pass away, it cannot of course be free, whatever may be the nature of the path that the religious man takes. Here is a passage showing how, in the case of one of the blessed Gopis, the soul-binding chains of both merit and demerit were broken. “The ntense pleasure in meditating on God took away the binding effects of her good deeds. Then her intense misery of soul in not attaining unto Him washed off all her sinful propensities; and then she became free.” (Vishnu-Purâna)."
