"You wrote: "You will have to take births after births to reap the fruits of your Karmas." If, as you say, "there is no power on earth which can stop the actions from yielding their fruits", experience suggests this can't possibly apply to the here and now, since so many apparently good people suffer unjustly, and so many apparently bad people get away with their evil deeds. Among my acquaintances, I don't know anyone who remembers a past life, and so I don't understand the relevance of the mistakes we made in previous lives. Surely if I'm to achieve Moksha, I must do it now, irrespective of my unremembered past. Do Hindus really remember past lives? If not, what is (a) the proof and (b) the point of reincarnation? (This is a genuine question, not a criticism.)"-Well Honestly the karma theory I never quite understood it but then there have been cases in India where kids remember some really specific details( But trust me that is a huge monority and could probably be just a coincidence). -See I will explain myself again to you. i am Hindu socially and culturally. I may not believe in every word the vedas say because the very vedas have taught me that I should question everything. I myself am not entirely convinced by the karma theory but let me tell you when it comes to shaping the moral ethos of society the majority of hindus,buddhists, jains in India genuinely believe in the reincarnation theory without any reason. that is where the I feel Indians at times behave like abrahamic faiths followers where they just do not question the karma theory and their reseaning as once a very close friend of mine told me that " I rather spend time in doing good deeds and not worry about whether i would be born again unlike you is more concerned about questioning the theory and not actually concentrating on doing good deeds. what matters to you more finding out whether there is after life or to good deeds? and I just kept quite because no matter how much I would have explained to him he would have refused to understand. Eastern religious people believe in the spirit and that the spirit moves from one form to the other. There is a saying in my language Hindi which is ' Aatma Amar hai" which means the spirit is imortal it tries to say that your body may die the spirit never dies until it achieves Moksha.-I showed you the whole aspect of hinduism because i have to be fair and not biased. I have to show all the aspects of hinduism and karma theory is the whole basis of it and i know being a agnostic myself i never quite understood it. I personally do not know whether there is after life and hence i live assuming i wont be born again and so while i am alive i will try to make the most of it. but i also believe in the karma theory which states to concentrate more on deeds and not on the result of the deed. Another one liner from Hindu society in Hindi which says" karma kar phal ki iccha mat kar" this means keep on doing deeds dont worry about the rewards or results of those deeds. I hope I have cleared some queries in your minds.
