“Most reincarnationists also believe that the universe is governed by the Law of Karma. This law maintains that the world is just, and justice is equated with retribution. Everything good that happens to a human being is a reward for some previous good deed, and everything bad is punishment for an evil deed. The following is the formulation of the Law of Karma by Rayner Johnson, a leading academic reincarnationist: "Whatsoever a man sows, whether in the field of action or thought, sometime and somewhere the fruits of it will be reaped by him." It is not of course denied that for many of their good acts human beings are not rewarded and for many of their evil deeds they are not punished in the present life, but in that case the appropriate rewards and punishments will come in a later life, just as the happiness and unhappiness in the present life are frequently rewards and punishments for deeds in earlier lives.”
