equation or the other, since both sides help draw out different aspects of the soul. Author Berry Benson once used the following analogy in an attempt to explain the concept of Karma as it relates to reincarnation: “A small boy enters school and is placed by his teacher in the lowest class and charged with learning these lessons: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt do no hurt to any living thing. Thou shalt not steal. So, the little boy grew into a man. He did not kill, but he became cruel and he stole. At the end of the day ‘when his beard was gray; when the night had come,’ the teacher noted that although the student had not killed, he had failed to learn his other lessons. ‘Come back again tomorrow,’ the teacher told him. When the new day dawned, the pupil returned to school and was placed in a higher class because he had accomplished one lesson. Then his teacher gave him these lessons to learn: ‘Thou shalt do no harm to any living creature. Thou shalt not cheat. Thou shalt not steal.’ Again the boy grew into a man. He was careful to do no hurt to any living thing, and he tried not to be cruel, but he stole from his neighbors and he cheated to accomplish his own ends. At the end of the day, ‘when his beard was gray; when the night had come,’ the teacher recognized the fact that the student had learned to be merciful, but he had failed to accomplish other lessons. Once again, the student was told to return on the morrow .” So it may be with man . The Bible admonishes man to be perfect even as God is perfect. But perhaps such perfection cannot be achieved in a single lifetime . It might seem more just to allow a person to return again and again until all the “lessons ” have been learned , before their soul stands in judgment and is examined as to whether it is worthy , finally , of attaining eternal life with the Creator.
