We then wonder—“Will we go to heaven or hell?” And if we believe in Karma, “What will we be reborn as?” What happens after death is unknown to us and while there are many theories, we don’t know the truth, and thus we live in fear of the unknown.
What is the fact? Everybody has to die. Whoever is born on earth must experience death. But the question that remains unanswered is who actually dies. No doubt the body dies, but is it ‘the end’ or is death just a bend? We believe it is the end—that is why we fear. If only we realized that only the body dies, and we, the ones who are alive inside the body move on, we would not fear death so much.
Today, many around the world believe in the Law of Karma, also known as the Law of Action and Reaction. The Western world also believes in it and their scripture proclaims—As you sow, so shall you reap. The doctrine of Karma is accepted not just in the Eastern cultures, but around the world. People believe in this, the law of the boomerang— What goes around, comes around.
Even science believes in this law—What we give is what we get. Though they may not subscribe to it in a spiritual manner, scientists will vouch that apples won’t grow on mango trees—only mangoes will. This is a Universal Law
