WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS

What is the cause of the inequality that exists among humankind?  Why should one person be brought up in the lap of luxury, endowed with fine mental, moral and physical qualities, and another in absolute poverty, steeped in misery?

On the surface of it, it is the result of heredity and environment.  On a deeper level, however, it is the result of Karma.  When we say it is Karma we are saying that it is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings.  This is to say, we ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own Heaven. We create our own Hell. We are the architects of our own fate.
