When the ls.’s body dies/de-materialize, who is to suffer its karmic effects? The mind or the soul!
Whosoever faces the retribution, the medium is always a body i.e., the new body the ls. is born in!
This is not fair, because it was ls. who had originally committed the acts---good/ bad, but why a new ‘body’ has to suffer on l.s behalf?
Ok. It the body which suffers, but it is not the same body (ls) who is reborn!
It is the mind that is reborn----cannot be so, as it is inert/insentient i.e. lifeless, so cannot be reborn. Yes its vasanas (desires) are definitely carried forward!
Soul can also not be born again, as it is described as whole-pure-eternal-bliss. Whatever is eternal cannot be reborn!
Moreover God is not revengeful, so He (or she---harmony girl may not get offended) cannot serve punishment!
Soul cannot get reborn as it causeless; mind too cannot be reborn as it is inert; who is it that takes birth or is reborn?
In case God too does not interfere, as it is told He is merely a witness, not directly involved in our karmas. So it is ‘we’ who indulge in activity/karmas and ‘we’ who to suffer the consequences. But how? That is as to how we exhaust the effects of past karmas?
Is it the body which suffers, the mind or the soul?
Pl. don’t have the misconception that the ls. has an answer!love®ards.ls. |
