Please can you reply back.. i have asked this question a couple of times afew months before, but i did not receive a reply

(REPLY) Sat Nam. I doubt if this answer will satisfy you, but, since it seems to matter to you, here's how I think about karma. It's simply the law of cause and effect. Action and reaction. "As you sow, so shall you reap." Before there could be any karma, there had to be action. So that's what started the chain reaction, AFTER humans started acting, and causing causes, then effects took place, and those in turn were actions that became the cause of further karmic reaction. This Earth was created with certain built in features -- like the law of gravity ! -- and they just are how the whole thing works.
