KARMA

It is well known that physical characteristics and mental traits are passed on from parents to children. This heredity does not explain what is sought to be explained by the law of Karma. Bodies are shaped by heredity, but not Souls. The Soul has no father or mother, but is self-existent. Any Soul may be lodged in any body in which it has earned the fitness to function.

Bodies are only the tenements provided for souls even as engineers may build in similar or varying types for citizens to choose and live in, according to their needs.  A house may be improved or even damaged by the occupant. The next person who comes into the tenements does so because it suits his. own condition. A father may ruin the coming son's body, but which soul is to come as that son depends on the stage reached in the Karmic evolution of that Soul.
