The West is poised for accepting Karmic law :
To the western world, parapsychology research has thus provided convincing proof of the validity of Karma and reincarnation theory. Consequently demand for reinstallation of these principles is gaining ground in the west now. The famous English author Paul Brunton observes :
Although Karma is really a scientific law, it was appropriated by the Asiatic religions as well as by the pagan faiths of primitive Europe .... It lived in Christian faith for five hundred years after Jesus; then, a group of men, the council of Constantinople, banished it from the Christian teaching .... because it offended their own personal petty prejudices. Thus, a little band of foolish men.... have robbed the West of a religious belief which, in the turn of history's wheel, must now be restored to the modern world for the scientific truth that it really is.
It is the duty of those who rule nations, guide thought, influence education and lead religion to make this restoration. Truth demands it in any case, but the safety and survival of western civilisation imperiously demand it still more. When men learn that they cannot escape the consequence of what they are and what they do, they will be more careful in conduct and more cautious in thinking. When they comprehend that hatred is a sharp boomerang which not only hurts the hated but also hater, they will hesitate twice and thrice before yielding to this worst of all human sins.
.... A sound ethical life will follow naturally as a function of such understanding. The west has great and quick need for the acceptance of Karma and rebirth because they make men and nations ethically selfresponsible as no irrational or incoherent dogma can
