LAWS OF NATURE

The soul is eternal but the body is temporary. Thus
when the body is finished (death), the soul must
continue to exist in another body.
If a person kills and soon after dies himself. How can
he be punished unless he takes birth again? If a
sinner is sent to hell forever then how can God be
merciful unless he is given another chance?
Once you had the body of a baby and now an adult. The
baby body is gone but you still exist. This is
reincarnation, changing bodies.
Just as you change bodies in this life, you will also
change bodies after this life. Is this hard to accept?
Reincarnation is the passing of the soul from one body
to the next. Life is truly a circle of birth, death
and re-birth. We never die; we merely change our
physical form. There are 8.4 million different forms
of bodies; we have been through them all. Being Human
is the highest form of Life on this planet.
So why do we keep coming back to life? We are re-born
to exhume our Karma. We build our Karma during our
life and we must come back to face the reactions to
all our actions.
So you still don't believe in reincarnation?
Well, if you do not believe in reincarnation, then it
means that you believe that we are only born once,
right? If we are only born once, then surely everyone
should be born equal. By believing in God, we accept
that God must be fair, and thus everyone would be born
equal if we only have one chance of life. Well, is
everyone born equal?
〉 Why are some born healthy and some diseased?
〉 Why are some born more fortunate than others?
〉 Why are some born ugly and some good looking?
〉 Why do some children suffer from birth and
die at very young age?
〉 Why are some born poor and some rich?
Now that you accept everyone is not born equal. So how
does God decide on the above matters for us? Well,
God's decisions are based on knowing our history, our
previous lives. God is very fair, God does not make us
happy for no reason, and God does not make us suffer
for no reason. Based on our Karmic actions, some
people are happy because they have good Karma and are
now facing good reactions to their good actions taken
in their past. Some people suffer because they have
bad Karma and are now facing bad reactions to their
bad actions taken in their past.
A person is born again and again to reap the fruits of
his or her own actions. This cycle of birth and death
continues until the person attains moksha or freedom
from the cycle of birth and death. Moksha can only be
achieved through Krishna consciousness.
Hinduism is the only religion, which preaches the
reincarnation and Karma theories. There is scientific
evidence to prove the reincarnation and Karma
theories.
“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you,
nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us
cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes,
in the body from childhood to youth to old age, the
soul similarly passes into another body at death. A
sober person is not bewildered by such a change." Lord
Krishna (Bg. 2.12-13)
"As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones,
the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving
up the old and useless ones." Lord Krishna (Bg. 2.22)
"When one dies in the mode of goodness, he attains to
the pure higher planets of the great sages. When one
dies in the mode of passion, he takes birth among
those engaged in fruitive activities; and when one
dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in the
animal kingdom." Lord Krishna (Bg. 14.14-15)

Do you have the answers to the following questions?
〉 Why are some born healthy and some with
severe health problems?
〉 Why do some people suffer more than others?
〉 Why do some people live a good life and some
a miserable one?
〉 Why is life full of ups and downs? One day we
are happy, another day we are sad
〉 Why do some people die from diseases like
cancer and some naturally?
〉 Why are some people born more fortunate than
others?
〉 Why is there a difference between each
person's lives?
〉 Why do some children suffer from birth and
die at very young age?
Hinduism is the only religion which can answer all of
the above questions, and with complete satisfaction.
The answers to all the above questions is:
The Law of Karma
For every action you take there will be a reaction in
the future. This is the law of Karma.
Whatever activity we do, good or bad, brings us good
or bad reactions. For every action you take, you will
face a reaction in the future, which could be a few
seconds away or 20 years away or your next
incarnation. If you take good actions, you will face
good reactions. This may come in the form of good
health, wealth or birth on higher planets etc. If you
take bad actions, you will face bad reactions in the
future. The bad reactions may come in the form of
disease, poverty or birth on one of the hellish
planets etc.
When we suffer, we are facing the bad reactions to our
bad actions taken in the past.
Our actions include everything we do, including our
physical deeds, our words and thoughts. There will be
a reaction to all our actions.
Taking good actions builds our good karma (joy and
happiness in the future).
Taking bad actions builds our bad karma (disease and
suffering in the future).
Actions, which result in bad Karma: Eating meat,
violence, ignorance, harshness, untruthfulness, lust,
anger, greed, attachments, desires, gambling, ego, and
alcohol.
Actions, which build good Karma: Vegetarianism,
non-violence, generosity, charity, self-control,
truthfulness, simplicity, forgiveness, religiousness,
and cleanliness. Free from attachments, desires and
ego.
Your destiny is in your own hands. You are held
responsible for all your actions.
The reason why some people suffer more than others is
that they sinned more than others in their past and
thus they are now facing the bad reactions to the bad
actions taken in their past.
The reason why some good people suffer all their life
is because although they are now good. They still
suffer because they are now facing the bad reactions
to the bad actions taken in their previous lives. But
because they are now taking good actions they will
face good reactions (be happy) in their next life.
The reason why some really rotten people enjoy a good
life despite being rotten, is that they are now facing
the good reactions to the good actions they took in
their previous lives. However, because they are taking
bad actions now (being rotten), they will face bad
reactions in the future (suffer).
God does not make one happy for no reason nor does God
make one suffer for no reason. Karma is a very just
law.
If a person takes good actions in life and thus builds
good karma, he or she will be born into a better life
in the next incarnation. A sinner who leads an immoral
life may be born as a poor person or as an animal in
the next incarnation. A person is born again and again
to reap the fruits of his or her own actions. This
cycle of birth and death continues until the person
attains moksha or freedom from the cycle of birth and
death. Moksha can be achieved through Krishna
consciousness.
Karma and the Human Law and Order System.
Why do we have the police, judges, courts and jails?
We have a system of Law and Order in each and every
country, which makes us responsible for our actions.
If we break the Law, we are arrested, taken to court
and the Judge decides on the punishment we receive,
which will be in proportion to the crime committed,
then sent to jail, punishment for our crimes.
Without the Law and Order system that we have, without
the police enforcing the law, life would be pure hell.
People would go round killing, looting, stealing,
raping and vandalizing property. Simply because
people, would not be held responsible for their
actions.
Without the Law and Order system there would be no
peace and justice in the world.
We have the human Law and Order System in every
country and the citizens of each country are held
responsible for the actions they take; those who break
the law are punished.
Just as we have the Human Law and Order system. God
has a Law and Order system, the Law of Karma. We are
held responsible for all our actions. The differences
between the human system and God's system are:
〉 With Karma, we are responsible for all our
actions, including words and thoughts.
〉 With Karma, there is no escape; you will face
reactions to each and every action you take in the
future, that is guaranteed. With the human system,
some people do get away with murder and other crimes.
〉 With Karma, we are punished for our bad
actions and rewarded for good actions, in the human
system we are punished if we are caught breaking the
law, but we are not rewarded for abiding by the laws.
If you accept that we cannot live peacefully and be
treated fairly without the human system of Law and
Order, then you must accept that God also has a Law
and Order system, the Law of Karma.
Hinduism is the only religion, which preaches the Law
of Karma. There is scientific evidence to prove the
Law of Karma

"One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after
death one is sure to take birth again."(Lord Krishna,
Bhagavad-Gita 2.27)
But for some reason, you are unwilling to accept this
fact?
You may think that while death may come to others, you
will some how continue to live forever. You will hear
about others dying, but it never comes to your mind
that you could be next. The whole situation is like
that of a slaughterhouse where one animal is being
slaughtered and another one is busy munching grass and
doesn't realize that it will be next. This is
ignorance.
"From the highest planet in the material world down to
the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated
birth and death take place. But one, who attains to my
abode, O son of Kunté, never takes birth again."(Lord
Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 8.16)
Material life is full of calamities. The less
intelligent persons try to adjust to those calamities,
as they have no information on the abode of the Lord,
which is full of bliss and without a trace of
calamity. The intelligent persons try to give up
attachment for this material world.
You may think that your life is very comfortable as
you have money, big house, nice cars, beautiful
partner etc.. But what is the value of this so-called
comfortable life, if one day you are going to lose
everything and be slaughtered by nature? What to speak
of your next life, which may be in the animal kingdom?
The animals in the slaughterhouse live very
comfortably, but they are only waiting to be hacked to
death. The same goes for you too.
The animals cannot escape the wrath of the butcher,
and you cannot escape the wrath of nature. But you
have a choice of either going through the whole drama
of material life (birth, old age, disease, death)
again, again, and again, or become free from material
life (no death, no marital problems, no taxes, no
disease, no poverty, no wars, no terrorism, no anxiety
and so on)
The souls in the plants and animals are on a fixed
cycle of transmigration from one body to the next in
the plant and animal kingdoms. They will have to go
through 8 million births before they get a human
birth.
The humans have been through the 8 million births in
the plant and animal kingdoms. But if a human being
misuses or fails to utilize the higher consciousness,
then he (the soul) will once again have to go through
the 8 millions births in the plant and animal
kingdoms. Only a complete fool would waste this rare
human birth.
Only by engaging in Bhakti Yoga (devotional service
onto Lord Krishna) can a human being become free from
material life and go to the kingdom of God, called
Goluka Vrindavan, the abode of Lord Krishna. Where
there is no old age, no disease, no taxes, no wars, no
terrorism, no depression.
Where you will be in 50 years time is a serious
thought to consider now, because you won’t be here.

Why is life full of Ups and downs?
One day we are really happy, another day we are really
upset. Why? Why aren't we happy all the time or sad
all the time?
The answer is 'Due to the Law of Karma'.
When we are happy, we are reaping the benefits of our
good actions, which we took in the past. When we
suffer, we are being punished for the bad actions,
which we took in the past. It's common sense really.
You get what you deserve. No one is happy all the time
or sad all the time, because everyone takes some good
actions and some bad actions every day, the result of
our good and bad actions will be happiness and
suffering in the future which will be in proportion to
our actions. Thus life is full of ups and downs.
"The living entity in the material world carries his
different conceptions of life from one body to another
as the air carries aromas." (Lord Krishna in the
Bhagavad Gita 15.8)

"As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this
body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul
similarly passes into another body at death. A
self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a
change."(Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita 2.13
"When one dies in the mode of passion, he takes birth
among those engaged in fruitive activities; and when
he dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in
the animal kingdom."(Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita
14.15)
"When one dies in the mode of goodness, he attains to
the pure higher planets."(Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad
Gita 14.14)

Top section: On the left, a boy is dancing before the
Deities of Radha-Krsna. The result of such devotional
consciousness is shown on the right, where he is
dancing with Krishna as a playmate in the Lord's
spiritual abode. Second section: On the left a man is
offering charity; on the right he has taken the body
of a demigod and is enjoying heavenly delights. Third
section: A man is eating meat and other abominable
foods; in his next life he is seen in the body of a
hog who eats anything and everything. Bottom section:
A man is approaching a women with lust. This bestial
consciousness carries him to a dog's body.

The individual soul transfers from one body to
another, the present body and activities are the
background of the next body. At the time of death, the
consciousness our body has created during this life
will carry us on to the next type of body.
If the consciousness we have created in this life is
like that of a cat or dog, the next body will be that
of a cat or dog.
If our consciousness is godly, the soul will be
transferred to Krishnaloka in the spiritual world and
will associate with Lord Krishna.
