Interpretation
This Universe is a continuum of infinity in dimensions of time & space in which life exists again as a continuum of start, end, re-start & so on…
When such is the characteristic of the Universe & life within in, how can the actions occuring here & the consequences of these actions not exist in a state of continuum?
Mankutimma, as you progress through life, you will be faced with challenges that makes you wonder why you particuay have been selected by the Creator as the person to either suffer or enjoy? This is not the consequences of your actions in this life; but from your past ones...you may gain an unexpected windfall due to some good deeds done in past & you will welcome it; but realise that you may face unexpected sorrows & tribulations as well…so, think before you act now; for not only would you see the consequences now; but in your later births as well…Karma always strikes back
