The Science of Reincarnation,
The Toll of Karma
Sometimes we observe that someone stops performing sinful acts and starts thinking and doing good acts. This could happen by itself or with the association of someone. Consider that someone's food is based on meat and animal products. When an animal is killed, the karmic particles of violence and suffering are transited to this food. It may be healthy food as far as protein, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral content is concerned. But this food is not suitable for spiritual upliftment according to the standards of spirituality. Such food is classified as Tamsik food or that which increases activity of passions etc. Due to association of someone else, this person understands the phenomenon and decides to have Satvik food that is suitable for spiritual awakening. The reason is not based on the health issue because most of the people will become vegetarian as they are forced to do so due to health reasons. In this case killing or eating killed animal products is not involved and thus violence is not involved. In this way bad karma are not forming and the person is in the process of accumulating good Karma based on simple and honest understanding which do not take away someone's life. This good thinking and acts produces a direct effect on the bad karma acquired previously. Because of this effect the time boundary limitations and power to do bad acts is reduced
