One's Past Karma

Question :Talking of one's past karma catching up, how does it hold true in the light of modern day scientific advancement, rationality?
Sri Sri: Karma is the latent tendency in all of us. If you went to school, studied, all those impressions you had about mathematics, biology, etc, that you make use of in the future. Your life is so many days, years of knowledge, and knowledge is all part of karma. They are impressions, and we walk through the impressions. Karma is not fatality, it is not the fear of fatality. It is not what we think as the fatalistic attitude. If I were to come to you and ask how can I be a better human being, what advice will you give someone like me? Are you thinking about yourself all the time? Or, are you also caring for the people around? That's one thing.
What divine qualities have you kindled in the people around you? That's the second question you need to ask yourself.
Ask yourself how you could be useful to people instead of saying what they can do to you.If we keep asking these questions it will put us in the right path.
