Bhagavad Gita says: "Whatever we do, we will have to pay accordingly"
There is an interesting story in the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, of a powerful King Dhirthrashtra who was born blind. He was a wise, intelligent and a religious king.
It bothered him a lot, he wanted to know the reason he was born blind. One day, he had the opportunity to meet Lord Krishna.
The King told Lord Krishna that thru his own spiritual powers he had checked his 100 previous lifetimes but still could not find out why he was born blind.
Lord Krishna touched the King's head with his hand and King Dhirthrashtra was then able to see behind 106 lifetimes. The King saw himself as a child playing in the lawn. He saw a little bug, and not knowing any better, he pierced the bug's eyes with a small piece of stick.
The king paid for his action 106 lifetimes later.
There is no escape from the Law of Karma.
We hide ourselves behind closed doors, in the dark, but we only deceive ourselves if we think no one is watching.
God is always watching our every thought and action.
This story illustrates the eternal truth that 'whatever we sow, we shall reap'.
