By reading the name of the topic, don't assume this post is something related to pubs and bars!!
For some time, I had these questions in me. In fact not some time, it’s for some years. Pondering over it, I thought of writing it here. Now before we go into the questions, I would like to share some agreed Hindu ideas-
Samsara- The cycle of successive existence. Continual process of rebirth.
Karma- Good deeds and bad deeds, which determines the state of one individual’s next life. Good deeds better life. Bad deeds leading to misery and suffering.
Moksha- Release from the cycle.
It is the soul/athma/inner self which is in the cycle.
I assume all these are not in physical form or we never knew, let me go to the questions,
2- Assume the soul is in its 5th rebirth. So the state of being is determined by deeds done in 4th life, 4th -> 3rd , 3rd -> 2nd, 2nd – 1st, 1st - ___ . From what deeds the 1st life is determined?
3- Does the 1st life have predefined deeds for the soul? Assume all 1st life souls are good. Then how does the actions by 1st life soul’s leads to misery in their 2nd life?
The samsara cycle makes some sense, but I couldn’t get how the journey of the soul starts.
Lots of questions. Any answer?
