Life is Karma.
What is Karma?
It is experiences, things that happen to you in your life, the thoughts you are thinking,
your actions, all these are Karma.
Where did they come from?
Not from vacuum.
You planted these seeds in another lifetime.
You decided what you are going to go through.
And that is happening now.
Karma is the law of causality.
You do something and then it creates a set of reactions.
To make it simple, you did some good things and these good things create certain reactions,
resulting in reward.
You come back in the next lifetime to collect the good reward.
But if you do something bad, then you come back to go through the pain of your bad actions.
If anyone realizes that all his actions produce reactions — good or bad, then he will refrain
from doing bad actions because bad actions are going to give you bad results, pain, suffering,
diseases, etc. — if not now, in the next lifetime.
Understanding Karma is very crucial for human evolution but unfortunately people think that
Karma is a philosophical concept.
And then [they] ask where is the proof that there is afterlife.
It is shortsightedness.
But soon there will be proof from science.
Science is evolving.
Science will be able to prove the continuance or the continuation of life, even after someone
dies.
What dies is not the Soul, but only the body.
It is the Soul that carries the Karmic impressions.
And these Karmic impressions create another body so that you will have to pay for those
good or bad Karma and then, learn from that.
Karma is, in this way, a way or a means through which the Soul learns and evolves.
