| When a son is
born to parents he appears to inherit their physical and mental characteristics, but in
reality what he inherits is his own previous life's accumulation, by reason of which he is
embodied as son to such parents. The aurasa son is such only in the physical body. In the
Soul, even an aurasa son is, so to say, but an adopted son. The law of heredity does not
dispense with or interfere with the operation of the law of Karma. Besides XV-7, 8 and 9 already quoted the following Slokas may be studied in this connection: - Know that matter and Soul are both without beginning; and that all material forms, phenomena and qualities come out of matter. XIII-19 Out of material nature are produced the means and effects;
but the Soul has brought them about and reaps the pleasure and pain. The Soul established in matter enjoys the qualities born of
matter; attachment of this enjoyment is the cause of its births in good and evil wombs. |
