00:00Why does the law of karma not apply to animals?

00:06The law of karma does not apply to animals because animals do not really have a choice

00:13in their actions.

00:15No animal can be compassionate really.

00:18If there is a road accident on the road outside, you do not really expect the street dogs to

00:27come to rescue and help the victims of the accident, do you?

00:32This is not the case with human beings.

00:35One human being can be full of compassion and the other one can be spiteful, angry,

00:42vicious and violent.

00:45Therefore the one who is compassionate is rewarded, he made the right choice.

00:51The one who is vicious is punished by his viciousness itself, he made the wrong choice.
