Destiny and Law of Karma - Part 1 of 2

Many events in our lives are destined, beginning with our birth and the family that we are born into. One is born into a family, where conditions are conducive to undergo ones destiny and where one has significant give-and-take account (karma) with each member of the family. Destiny is played out by various elements, both in the physical plane and in the spiritual realm. The elements in the spiritual realm that mainly influence our destiny are ghosts and subtle bodies (spirits) of our departed ancestors. By doing spiritual practice as per the sixbasic principles of spiritual practice, we harness spiritual energy that helps us overcome the influence of these spiritual factors.

I can take the rationale that our current life has an amount of Prarabh and some amount of wilful action. What this video fails to make me understand is why were we born in the first place? Why did we have 100% wilful action energy? What was the idea behind this? If you agree to Sir Isaac Newton's law of 'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction', then what action cause us to be born the very first time in this earth if we had no accounts to settle?

@girishmuraly That is true, at the time of our first birth, we did not have any give-and-take accounts to settle. The average person was in a state of oneness with God. To go back to that state of oneness, after settling our give-and-take accounts, is the basic purpose of our life.

@SSRFINC Thank you, but you have not answered the most basic question - why were we born? Surely we were born as a reaction or karmic effect of something?

[SSRFINC]

@girishmuraly At this stage perhaps it is best to accept our first birth as God's wish. When we become one with God, we are likely to better understand the why.

I think its too idealistic. Living in such a harsh world, all one can do is to avoid sin as much possible at least at his level, that's the best way to render his services at both spiritual and materialistic level.

@SSRFINC thank you for replying. I guess we will never know all the answers until the very end! Otherwise, there is not much purpose and challenge in life I think :)
