In fact, sooner or latter, every sensible man, woman and child will have to accept it, there is no other way.
A careful scrutiny of the law of Karma encourages the hopeless man, the desperate and ailing. Thus says the law of Karma: Man creates his own destiny is by his thoughts, actions and character There is every possibility for his rectification and amendment through change of thought and habit. A crook, rogue or rascal can turn into a saint Likewise a hooker can turn into a chaste woman, a pauper into a prince. The great law of Karma makes provisions for all this…… and more.
Only the law of Karma is able to explain the mysterious dilemma of good and evil in this world. Only the law of Karma can impart solace, contentment, peace and strength to the afflicted and the destitute. The law of Karma it is that solves man’s trials and tribulations in life. It helps encourage the hopeless and the forlorn, pushing a man on the path of right thinking, right speech and right action.

If all were to understand this law properly, and in essence, and discharge their day by day duties carefully, they would rise to sublime heights on the ladder of spirituality.
