Hi,
I would like to share your thoughts on whether Hinduism explains
the reason for sufferings. On one hand, the law of karma explains
why events happen based on action and reaction law. But, on the other
hand it went on to say that the life itself is cyclic, meaning that
the entire process repeats by itself. If the latter is true, it would
imply that even though we can explain the sufferings based on LAW OF
KARMA, in the global perspective the answer fails because if the
entire life is cyclic it would mean that everything happens because
it is bound to happen that way. In other words, we are just an
instrument in the entire process who cannot decide/choose our
destiny, but is pre-programmed.
I would like to share your thoughts on this, and would greatly
appreciate if you could mail a copy of your reply at:
santhosh@iss.nus.sg.
Thanks and best regards,
Santhosh Kumar
