Gary Zukav Quotes

Men's minds do not die with their bodies but are made more happy or miserable after this life according to their actions.

The law of Karma is the law of causation.

The beliefs concerning reincarnation have great ethical impact on human life and our relationship to the world.

We've already been reincarnated about a million times, maybe. It doesn't make sense any other way.

I believe that life is basically a process of growth-that we go through many lives, choosing those situations and problems that we will learn through.

Destiny, or karma, depends upon what the soul has done about what it has become aware of.

Has it occurred to you that transmigration is at once an explanation and a justification of the evil of the world?

How interesting it would be to write the story of the experiences in this life of a man who killed himself in his previous life; how he stumbles against the very demands which had offered themselves before, until he arrives at the realization that he must fulfill those demands.

For, owners of their deeds (karma) are the beings, heirs of their deeds; their deeds are the womb from which they sprang; with their deeds they are bound up; their deeds are their refuge. Whatever deeds they do-good or evil-of such they will be the heirs. And wherever the beings spring into existence, there their deeds will ripen; and wherever their deeds ripen, there they will earn the fruits of those deeds, be it in this life, or be it in the next life, or be it in any other future life.

The Wrong we have Done, Thought, or Intended Will wreak its Vengeance on Our SOULS.
