RESPONSIVENESS OF SOULS

 
The quick and unfailing responsiveness of souls is expressed in the law that hate begets hate, lust begets lust and love begets love. This law operates not only during a single life-time but across several lives. A man feels impelled to hate or fear an enemy of past lives, although present life may not have provided him with any apparent reason for this attitude.

In the same way, without any apparent reason from the present life, he is impelled to love and help a friend of past lives. In most cases the person may not be aware of the reason for his unaccountable attitude, but that does not mean there is no reason for it. Many things which seem inexplicable on the surface, become intelligible when considered in the light of Karmic links brought forward from past lives.
