Status Updates From HINDUISM (OPUS)

On karma-
'We become indeed what we think or do. The present life of any individual as conditioned by his preceding one determines the next.'
Pretty succinct!

King Vipascit has been taken down to hell by a servant of the King of the Dead, Yama..."If, while I am present, torment does not hurt these men, here then, fair Sir, I will remain firm as a mountain...I will not go as long as these are in sore suffering...whatever good deeds I possess, by means thereof let the sinners who are undergoing torment be delivered from hell!"
Very Buddhist like :)

In one of the Upanishads there is a discussion between Yajnavalkya, a famous Brahman, and Gargi, a woman philosopher who is exceptional for the esteem in which she was held...she asks a series of questions...eventually Yajnavalkya gets tired of her questions and says:
Gargi, do not question too much, lest your head fall off....Thereupon Gargi held her peace...
Good girl! Lol...such is the way of patriarchal world!
