Bare bodied you come out of mother’s womb, and so are you cremated when life-forces make an exit from your body, leaving it dead. In fact, you leave behind everything – all your belongings, for which, you must have desired, schemed, and tirelessly worked to earn them, during your live existence. Even your physical body does not go with you. What life-forces carry along is the record of all your good and bad doings, the experiences had, and learning.
What, however, persists in people’s memory even after you lose your live existence with a particular body-frame and name, is the imprint of how you would have engaged yourself with the world. Should you be credited with serving the society well in whatever ways, you remain alive in people’s memory forever, as it happens with legends. The ordinary mortals just fade away from the memory of their near and dear ones over a period of time. People feel relieved when bad names leave this world, and consciously erase them from their memory.
The memory impressions that life-forces carry along, set the premise on which its next ‘body pick up’ gets involuntarily programmed to conduct. In this scheme of things, for whatever good or bad you do in one life, accordingly, you are to reap the consequences there of in your next life that comes in succession. But much before that, even in the present life, you have to bear with the consequences of how you engage yourself with the world around. This is how the ‘law of Karma’ runs, and which define the course of life, both in micro and macro terms.
There may not exist, any direct evidence in physical domain in support of Ancient Indian Philosophy’s above perception. Empirical evidences, however, very clearly establish its worthiness. Towards the last quarter of the 20th century, Dr Bryan Weiss, a scientifically trained psychiatrist, using hypnotherapy technique, developed the process of “Past life Regression”, applying which, he has been able to establish a definite connect between past life memories and the behavioural pattern during the ongoing life.
Backed by established data, Dr Brian, though born as a Christian, had to acknowledge the relevance of the theory of reincarnation, in contrast to his earlier belief. Even organised case study of those who are able to recall past birth memories, connect has been established. In the above backdrop, from a commoner’s point of view, a counter question throws further light on the question: “How is it that twins enjoying same parentage and having undergone similar grooming, behave differentlyIJ” Evidently, there has to be some invisible factor playing its part. Where does this come fromIJ Does it happen by accidentIJ Empirically, it again points to past birth connect.
Here in India, a good number of people are academically aware of this truth of life. And yet, most of us seldom care to engage with the world righteously and judiciously. We rather prefer to go by our egotistical perception, which, in the first place, narrows down our vision.
As a consequence, we lose track of the truths underlying seeming realities. Second, being caught up in the binds of tempting influences of the seeming world, we try to play all tricks in our hand to reach out our fancied objective ends. And we do not care for others’ concerns and sensibilities, and with obvious consequences, individually and collectively.
A case in point is that of a very intelligent lady but a scheming type, high on ego, and stuck to her self-delusions. She spotted a highly placed young man, trapped him in her fold in a schematic manner, and forced him into marriage. Having settled into marriage, she unsuccessfully tried to distance her spouse from all his near and dear ones so as to exercise full control over his riches. His partner was not prepared to dance to her tunes. When her game plan failed, she thrust a case of dowry harassment on him seeking fat alimony. But somehow her evil deeds got exposed, and the lady is in serious trouble now.
look at her astrological pointers. Mischievous Neptune well ordained to mind-indicator Moon, but placed adverse to Karmic Saturn pointed to she being self-centric schemer stuck her self-delusions.
Fiery Mars placed adverse to the Sun and Jupiter pointed to her inflated ego, impulsive, argumentative and quarrelsome nature. Venus placed adverse to Uranus and Neptune pointed to her evil design for acquiring quick riches, as well as her low morality. And the result is there to see.
