And you can't break these laws (at > least not in the same way.) I did mention this here so let me elaborate. I said "human laws are based on religious". From the history are known laws of Manu, laws of Moses, laws of Chammurapi, etc. considered to be revealed for that specific culture (or based on previously revealed laws). Revealed laws (dharma) cannot be broken without specific reactions. So there is a reaction by gravitation if one jumps off the cliff and also a reaction by Yamaraja if one kills someone. Although one may escape human laws, it's not possible to escape one's karma, by material means, that is. ys Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
