Dear Bhagawathas,

A few thoughts, maybe mentioned by someone earlier, if u please...!

True! In fact, i have heard said that Hinduism posits no "punishment" 
or "reward": just actions & consequences, which constitute an automatic chain 
save during the intervention of God's Grace! This is the "zoomed-in view"! 
In the unzoomed view, nothing happens outside the perimeter of Grace!

>baptism..

By mentally questioning the purpose of life and appreciating His Kripa,
i think!
