Select the correct alternative which postulates for the moral intelligibility of the universe :

  • A.Karma and Dharma
  • B.Law of Karma and Rebirth
  • C.Astanga-marga
  • D.Astangika-marga

Answer: B

The answer is Law of Karma and Rebirth.

The law of karma says that every action bears its fruit for the agent, good for good and bad for bad. Because a single life is not long enough for all actions to bear fruit, the law requires rebirth. Together they make the universe morally intelligible: no deed is lost and no suffering is without a moral cause.

Karma and dharma name action and duty but not the moral order that links deeds to their results across lives. The Astanga-marga is Patanjali's eight-limbed yoga and the Astangika-marga is the Buddha's Eightfold Path; both are paths of practice, not postulates about the moral order of the world.
