Question: The science today talks about heridity, genes, etc. to solve the problems of defects in birth, diseases etc. They are trying to talk tall about the DNA and chains, etc. But I do not understand how the theory will explain the different behaviour of the brothers born to the same parents both at different times and almost together (twins)? How one child is behaving differently from the other. I understand our philosphy states that “you choose your parents”.
Answer: The Hinduism believes firmly in the theory of Karma, i.e., whatever a man does, he has to undergo the effects of that work – either good or bad, either in this life or lives to come. I wish you read Swami Vivekananda’s Karma Yoga to know more about it.
