Creation involves the putting together of substances. What is put together must come apart, in course of time and get liberated. The individual is created and so he has to disintegrate and die. Now some are born happy, and enjoy healthy, happy lives. Some are born miserable. Others are born without hands or legs, or are feeble-minded or defectives. Who hurt them or injured them? God is proclaimed as just and kind. It can be argued: how can such a God ever be so partial and prejudiced? How can such differential treatment come into the realm ruled by God? Such doubts are natural. But the vision of the sages of ancient India who moulded the thought of this land revealed to them that God is not the cause of these differences. They are the consequences of the acts indulged in by the individual in lives previous to the present one. They result in happiness and misery, health and handicaps. Good and bad are self-made, the effects of what was done in previous live s.
