I have been trying to state that Vedic/Hindu Philosophy has enormous logic associated with it. Like the Newton's 3 rd law, Every Action has equal and opposite Reaction, which has striking similarity, or rather it summarizes the Karma philosophy.
To get a feel of what I am trying to say, lets start with a premise that 'reaction' need not always be the negative of 'action'. It can be an extension of 'action'. What I mean is reaction is not the opposite (in the sense that + is the opposite of -). Reaction is an umbrella term we use to denote the result of our actions, if the actions good then the reaction would be good too... and if the actions bad, the reaction is going to be bad too.. For example, lets see the following scenarios, like if you hit someone, (that's the action), your hand gets pain too (reaction) but if you kiss someone (action), your senses respond in a positive way (reaction).
The scenarios stated above are in terms of the physical attributes of action-reaction pair. If we rise above the physical attributes of action and reaction and go a bit above the pain-pleasure field, you would see the following:
If you hit someone, (action), the person hits you back (reaction) And so... the reaction is NOT the opposite of action, its the RESULT of the action that's Karma philosophy... and that's the 3rd law too!!

Interesting comparison. My mom always used to say that there is nothing, absolutely nothing that was beyond our sage's comprehension. But the only problem is all of their knowledge was allegorical. I mean most of the times it turns out that until the scientists find some thing out, we ourselves don't know what they mean. That's the irony.

there are apparently things in vedas that are "wrapped" so well that each layer is onto itself an ocean of knowledge. I guess there are things that we will still keep uncovering for a long time to come...
