If a person does many good deeds in his life. There are very few say 25% bad deeds in his life.

If he enjoys all the fruits of his 75% good deeds in heaven.

Then which kind of family he gets born?

In rich family ? Or Poor / Bad family ? (for getting fruits of 25% bad deeds)

Please clarify.

    It is very difficult to tell when a given action will bear fruit. Sometimes it bears fruit five minutes from now, sometimes it bears fruit a thousand births from now. So what birth you will have after you die will not just be determined by the actions you are doing in this birth, but also the actions you've done in past births as well. – Keshav Srinivasan♦ May 18 '16 at 13:58
  • You may be interested in the excerpt from Bhatta Ramakantha's work quoted in my question here: hinduism.stackexchange.com/q/10706/36 It has to do with the fact that all the actions that a person does in one birth cannot possibly all bear fruit within a single lifetime. – Keshav Srinivasan♦ May 18 '16 at 14:01

    @Sagar You might find some answers in this YouTube video: Law of Karma is not Eye-for-Eye – sv. May 18 '16 at 17:00
  • It is important to note that even highest position in heaven in not permanent , so seek for the eternal truth moksha (liberation). As keshav srinivasan told you it is impossible to predict the maturity period of karma. Also I agree with sv. on "Law of karma is not-eye-for-eye" title. Law of karma is set to know that every action has fruits associated with it so act according to dharma. Its like law enforcement for all jivas to follow dharma. – Yogi May 18 '16 at 19:41

    @Sagar Well, there are several verses in the Bhagavad gita that talk about either how the sins can be destroyed, or how one can live unaffected by the previous sins. See for example verses 4.37; 4.41; 6.27 and 28; 5.10 and 17. Especially pay attention to the verse 4.37 which says that all karma can be destroyed: vedabase.com/en/bg/4/37 In the verse 18.71 it is even said that those who listen the Bhagavad gita with faith and without envy become free from sinful reactions and attain to heaven. I suggest you to read those verses with word for word translation at www.vedabase.com/en/bg – brahma jijnasa May 21 '16 at 14:54
