एको हि श्रीमान् , एको दरिद्र इति च कर्मणः,
(पश्चाध्यी अ. २ श्लोक ५०) करम प्रधान विश्व करि राखा । जो करहि सो तस फल चाखा ॥
-तुलसीदासजी (रामचरित मानस से) Although Karma is really a scientific law, it was appropriated by the Asiatic religions as well as the pegin faiths of primitive Europe ............ It lived in Christain faith for five hand red yeurs after Jeasus. Than a group of the council of costantinople, banished is from the christion teaching ................been use it offended their own petty personal prejudices. Thus a little bead of foolish man .. ....have robbed the wes ofretligious belief, which, in the turo of history wheel must now be restored to the modern world for the scientifio truth that it really is,
It is the duty of those who rule nations, guide thought influence educa-- tion and lead religin to make this resto ration. Truth demand in anycase but safety and survival of Western civilization imperiously demand is still more. When men learn that they cannot escupe the consequences of what they are and what they do they will be more carefull in conduct and more caution thinking, When they comprehend that hatred is sharp boomerang which not only hurts tha hated but also tbe hater they will hesitato twice and th rice before yiedling to this worst of all human sins
A gound ethical life will follow naturally as a function of such understanding. '1 he west has great and quick need for the acceptance of Karma and rebirft because they make men and nations ethically self responsible as no irrational or incoherent dogma can mabe them .......... Hence the urgency of popularzing the Karma doctrines.
Paul Brunton
