This theory of reaping what one has sown clearly accounts for the inequality we see existing in the world. Some are born rich, some born poor ; some born dumb and deaf, some blind, some of weak health and some of strong; these differences the doctrine of Karman explains, by saying that the dif. ferent conditions in which we find ourselves, are owing to our own acts in past life, and that in our present life we are working out the consequences of our acts in past life, as well as by our new acts, preparing our lot in the life to come. As Max Muller says
we are what we have made ourselves, we suffer what we have done, we reap what we have sown."
