More on the topic of "The Theory of Karma"

The "Theory of Karma" is such an interesting topic, don't you think? It really get's one to put on their thinking cap -- unless of course you are ready to blindly follow what is handed down to you from over the centuries gone by.

Why is it that most of us just take what is passed down to us as Gospel Truth, why don't we try and analyze it ourselves and see if it really makes sense? Whether it is religion or religious rituals or the like, most people just seem to accept that whatever they have been taught is what is the truth. They could be the most educated people in the world but when it comes to religion they just become followers without proof or questioning what it is that they are following.

To me the Theory of Karma is just hogwash. Because people cannot find an answer for the disparity in people's lives so they pass it off as our karams from the last life. I ask you, just a couple of questions.

1. Do you believe that God exists?

2. Do you believe that God is all good and just?

If your answers to these questions is "yes" then I say to you that if God exists (and I for one definitely believe that He/She does) and if God is all good and just; then, in my opinion God would never punish or reward us in this life for what we may have done or not done in our last life. Because justice demands that a person knows what he/she is being rewarded or punished for. I believe that God is all good and just and that the Theory of Karma is warped as it really goes against the grain of God being all just, because 99.9999999999% of us have not one iota of recollection as to what happened in our past lives, so God would not punish us in this life for things we cannot even remember - especially as God is not there to tell us what we are being rewarded or punished for.

Now, this is my reasoning for why some good people suffer so much in life and others who are quite evidently bad. roller-coaster through life without much upheaval or suffering in their lives.

In my opinion each soul that descends on Earth goes through a kind of a filtration process. Just as in life in any field of work, you will find large numbers of people on the bottom rung of the professional ladder, and as you climb up the ladder - you find fewer and fewer people out there. Then you get to the very top of the ladder and you find just a very limited few who ever reach the top.

So, too, I feel that all souls that come on earth go through a similar filtration process. The harder a person's life and the more sorrow they see, the closer they are to the top. It is here that God's filtration process is working hard to decifer who deserves to climb further and further up the ladder of goodness, till they become so good and pure (like Mother Teresa) that they are actually fit to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and receive "Antim Moksh" or "Eternal Salvation".

So many people die in war-torn countries after having lived and died horrendous lives, I believe these people are closest to God and that is why they are having such a tough time. God is testing them to see if even through adversity they are still leading good lives. After all it is only the good that ever receive "Antim Moksh".
