Realizing The Law Of Karma
Many times one meets someone with the feeling of either attraction or repulsion and the thought "Where have I seen this person before?" What happens is that the soul recognizes the other soul, even though their bodies are different from the last time they met (in a previous birth). Someone may be a source of comfort or inspiration, while another for no apparent cause, causes a feeling of resentment, "Why does he treat me like this, I have never done anything to him?"
There are some, who even at a young age achieve extraordinary excellence in some branch of knowledge, art or music, while others in spite of their best efforts achieve nothing. Identical twins may be born to the same parents and have the same environment, food and education, but all their lives, their nature and "fortunes" will be completely different. All these examples can only be explained by the law of cause and effect (law of karma) over a series of births.

Message for the day 08-07-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who is humble is always successful.
Expression:
The one who is humble is free from desires and is in a state of
appreciation and contentment of what he has. So he does not want to
prove to himself that he is successful. He only enjoys the process
of learning and progressing. He is never deterred by criticism and
takes it in the right spirit.
Experience:
Humility enables me to appreciate the effort put in by those around
me. I would naturally be able to see the specialities in others and
respect them for it. There would be no feeling of envy. So I would
naturally be able to have the quality of contributing for the progress
of others too.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
