Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Rajeevji,Punditji, Gowriji and colleagues/friends, As Punditji pointed out we can write books about this. I know this will really have no right or wrong answer just our opinion and beliefs. I do believe that we do have a certain amount of free will if not why should we have good deeds and bad deeds taken in to account for our next birth. We have all come across people who suffer because they were say money lenders who created problems in previous birth. If they were meant to be cruel why should they suffer in subsequent births? We try to do charity in our life time NOW because we feel it is good for the soul- were we destined to do charity and others should not. There are innumerable times when we have to make a choice, to help or not to etc. I believe the epic s of mahabarata and ramayana give us the battle of life that we have to wage. As an example remember in the story Krishna gave a choice to Arjuna as to whether he wanted Krishna or krishnas army. If God can give us choice at thatpoint I think that speaks volumes. Anyway that is my personal opinion. :-) Warm regards to all Yash , Gowri <rgowri2000> wrote: > Dear Rajeevji, > You are right. This can indeed go endlessly.
