WHAT DETERMINES THE SEX WHICH WE ARE BORN? (Master Kuthumi's answer)

 

In the epistolary correspondence that journalist Alfred Sinnett had with Master Kuthumi, Mr. Sinnett asked him:

 

Is there any essential spiritual difference between a man and a woman, or is sex a mere accident of each birth — the ultimate future of the individual furnishing the same opportunities?

 

 

To which the master replied:

 

 

It is a mere accident — as you say. Generally a chance work, yet guided by individual Karma, — moral aptitudes, characteristics and deeds of the previous birth.
