One of the basic doctrines of the Buddhist teachings is the law of karma. What is the law of karma? Science believes that an animal and a human are the result of the biological evolution theory developed by Charles Darwin. Buddhism believes that the animal and human are the result of reincarnation. In fact, the animals and humans are the result of evolution and reincarnation. In other words, living beings are the result of biological and psychological development, because both the animal and human consist of body and mind. A soul appeared when the sentient beings emerged in the universe and with this information about the actions-karma taken during their life. This information persists in the soul. Even if the karma does not grow in this life, either happiness or suffering, after the death of the animal and human the soul with karma doesn't die or fade away. It is reborn in one of the 6 animal species of the non-eternal universe depending on their karma, and still exists in the universe from one birth to another birth. If people develop their minds and healthy actions , they may arise in rebirth and even reborn as the Buddha or God. If people have an unhealthy mind, the actions that they take can to reduce their rebirth and even be reborn as hell, as a devil.Buddhist teachings describe it as the law of karma. Karma is the seed of mental, physical and verbal actions. Generally speaking, karma covers all the information about the actions committed by the living creatures, in their past and present lifetime.Until now, not only ordinary people but even scientists have not believed and accepted the law of karma. This is the main reason some people say that the Buddhist religion makes people stupid and some religions say that the Buddhist religion is misleading people. This is due to lack of scientific evidence for the law of karma. We have proved and verified the existence of the law of karma in this book with the help of Set theory and quantum physics. The book contains 3 parts and 15 chapters. In the first part, we have proved and verified the law of karma by using Set theory, while the following two conditions: first, the existence of three types of things in a non-eternal universe: matter / body, spirit / mind and imperfect cluster elements (body-mind), second, the occurrence of separation of mind and body when people and animals die.In the second part, we proved and verified the first condition and the soul with karma continues to exist in Samsara as the Wheel of Dharma or exists as the law of motion of animated matter-soul. And we demonstrate that the Buddhist philosophy has a dualist and dialectic character. In the Part 3, we proved and verified the second condition that the body and mind of humans and animals are separated, when they die by using Quantum physics, and it has an empirical testament and its own unique interpretation. Also, we demonstrate that the life is rational combination of evolution and reincarnation. The Buddhist philosophy assumes that there are non-eternal and eternal universes and they have their own objects and phenomena. We demonstrate that there are non-eternal, eternal and neutral universe and describe their facts and phenomena.At the end, we demonstrate the Buddhist teachings about how to reduce the suffering and improve the happiness and rebirth and enlightenment as well as three levels.The Buddha Gautama found the natural law of karma or the origin, development, degradation and death of living creatures through enlightenment over 2,500 years ago. But people have studied it as a religious doctrine in this period due to the lack of scientific evidence. At this time, we have proved the law, therefore, our duty is to extend this knowledge to people regardless of their religion. Learning about the law of karma is not only useful for personal development, but also vital to improve the ethics and morality of human social development.

In this series, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan addresses age-old unanswered questions of spiritual seekers. Dadashri offers in-depth answers to questions such as: “What is the definition of self awareness, and what are the signs of lack of awareness?”, “What is spirituality?”, “What are the benefits of spirituality and practice?”, “How can I experience a spiritual awakening, and what are the signs of spiritual awakening?”, “How may I attain spiritual enlightenment and lead a spiritual life?” Dadashri also provides spiritual explanations regarding: “What is the meaning of ignorance?”, “Who am I ?”, and “How can I experience the spiritual power of my pure Soul?” For those seeking to learn how to become more spiritual, Dadashri explains that the knowledge of Self is the beginning of true spirituality. Upon attaining Self knowledge, one’s spiritual development begins, which eventually leads to ultimate liberation, or moksha.

AMONG the many illuminating gifts to the western world, conveyed to it by the medium of the Theosophical Society, that of the knowledge of karma comes, perhaps, next in importance to that of reincarnation. It removes human thought and desire from the region of arbitrary happenings to the realm of law, and thus places man's future under his own control in proportion to the amount of his knowledge

Recent discoveries in quantum mechanics prove that no atomic particle can exist separately from the rest of creation; therefore only unity exists. This has important implications. For example, harm we do to our environment will show up as harm we do to ourselves. Also, unity means we are intimately related to each other. And separation leads only to selfishness and destruction. This awareness could not have come at a more opportune moment because, if we persist in our belief in separation, we will continue to use science and technology in the service of greed. Two consequences will follow. 1 -The majority of humans will die gasping for breath resulting from irreversible air pollution. 2 - Continued exploitation of the third world will end in nuclear war. Only our acceptance of unity will enable us to survive. But unity is not material, so it can only be spiritual. From this, new, incredible horizons of mystery unfold. We will see that we humans are essentially divine, and mind will be recognized as an ocean of consciousness in which we swim like fishes in a universal sea. Also, three scientifically valid spiritual laws will appear. They are: 1. The Law of Unity. All is one and one is divine. Therefore each apparently separate entity deserves respect appropriate to its essential divinity. 2. The Law of Karma. We get back what we give out. Therefore we are entirely responsible for our world and everything we experience within it. 3. The Law of Love. It is the motive behind the action, not the action itself that determines its consequence. It follows from this that, if we continue to allow greed to motivate our technology, disaster will follow. Therefore, we must replace the profit motive by the love motive. Many people see the need for this, but they see no way to achieve it. However, it is surprisingly simple. Anybody can do it. Examples are given of an office worker, a builder and a waitress, who, by their belief in unity, enable their enlightening influence to spread to the most distant star. The author presents scientific evidence in support of his assertions. He also shows how correlations from ancient wisdom complement our awareness of the new spirituality now apparent in science.

In this book I address the need for a critical treatment of karma for practitioners of Buddhism in the West. I discuss the basic meaning of karma and its relevance to western Buddhism. Emphasis is on the impact of the scientific world-view, interest in meditation and attitudes towards reincarnation. A generalized approach provides analysis and constructive terminology for thinking about karma and reincarnation. Terms such as karmic awareness and karmic significance point to an epistemology of karma. "Karmic analysis" extends the meaning of karma to art, history and literature. Karma is shown to be implicit in all cultures.Topics include the significance of death, the nature of action, sin, salvation and blame. Karmic cause and effect is contrasted with scientific causality. A distinction is drawn between the contemplative life and thinking about karma mainly in terms of a set of propositions to be proven as true or false.
