The Science of Reincarnation,
The Toll of Karma
and you are saying just the opposite to this, why? The Yogi replied that your thoughts for going to heaven made you perform these actions which you did not mean. This single thought is just sufficient to take you to hell. We can see how thoughts are powerful. Whatever actions are either good or bad the main driving force is thoughts.
We can understand this concept further by taking an example of a doctor who practices medicine. The doctor is involved in the surgery of a patient. This could be done with two different intentions. The doctor is performing surgery because the patient is suffering from pain and it does not matter whether the patient has the money to pay or not.
In the second case, the doctor takes only those patients who can pay the fee and it does not matter whether the patient is capable of paying or not. In the first case, even if the patient dies during surgery, the doctor is bonded by Punya Karma or good Karma because the intentions or thoughts involved were to cure the patient. On the other hand, even if the patient gets better, the doctor is still bonded by Papa Karma or bad karma because in this case the intention was not the humanity but to get a fee for the operation. These Papa & Punya Karma arise due to involvement of bad and good thoughts.
