Each soul has the punishment, which is best adapted to exert a deterring influence and effect over it in its next life.
Belief or disbelief in a future state does not alter the cosmic law of compensation and astral purgation.
The laws of Karma cannot be defeated by a refusal to believe in a hereafter, nor a refusal to admit the distinction between right and wrong. Every human being has deep down under the surface though it may be an intuitive realisation of the survival of the soul, and every individual has a deep-seated consciousness of some sort of a moral code.
When the eyes of the soul are cleared, so that they may discern the tangled fabric of cause and effect and follow up each particular thread of its own insertion therein, it has in itself a heaven and a hell of greater intensity than anything of which Dante ever dreamed.
There is no joy of the disembodied soul comparable to that experienced from perceiving the logical results of right action, and no sorrow equal to that of perceiving the result of evil action with its sickening thought of it might have been otherwise.
These things pass away and the soul emerges once more in earth life to once more enrol itself in the School of Life, the Kindergarten of God, there to learn and relearn its lessons. And remember always that both the heaven and the hell of each and every soul abides in that soul itself.
