6-10. Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
The law of karma is postulated as follows, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” The ‘reaping’ is implied across several lifespans and not necessarily during the one in which ‘sowing’ is done. You are the architect of your future. Clearly, this law is a call for right action in order to ensure a bright future. The theory of predestination, on the other hand, states that the future is predetermined. The question arises: why, then, should we struggle to carry out right action? We might as well enjoy life.
On the face of it, it seems the two notions of karma and predestination are contradictory, insofar as their implication towards calling for right action is concerned. But is this really so? God is credited with being omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Omniscience should logically imply knowledge of the future, since God is believed to transcend time. But proponents of ‘free will’ would object to this interpretation. God knows completely the psyche of each human being as also every set of circumstance that exists in the present moment.
Predestination appears to so strongly support the cause of easy-going people because it is often overlooked that, while the future may be predetermined, it is known only to God, since God alone knows the psyche of man fully, which gives rise to the notion of ‘free will’, seen from the point of view of man. The only thing man knows is that the law of karma is in operation. Against this backdrop, every rational individual would be motivated to carry out right action, notwithstanding an assumption of predestination.
