Can anyone explain how self balancing ledger works...in simple language.....

i also can't understand the accounting....

1) as in i have come across a sum where,openingbalance of sundry debtors is (Dr)rs 40000 and (Cr 2000).

and in the Debtors ledger Adjustment A/c in the Genral ledger both the balances are written on the respective sides

how can a A/c have both Cr and Dr balance together

2) in the same account it has ' To GLA A/c ' and ' By GLA A/c'  on both the sides.

3) what is transfer from Debtors Ledger to Creditors Ledger and vice versa (meaning)

plz help
