Yes, precisely. Maybe we can know what is good and what is bad, but we still have no idea what the outcomes of our actions will be or why we chose to perform them to begin with. Intelligent choice is impossible. In order to do so we would have to know:

A. How our subconscious affects our conscious mind

B. How past events affect our decision-making in the present

C. How our actions will affect future outcomes

All of which are completely unknowable. It’s why i struggle so much with the way karma is taught in Buddhist circles…

Yep, i studied Philosophy — have read Socrates’ Defence by Plato. I find Western Philosophy to be very different from Eastern thought. Whilst it's intellectually appealing, i haven’t personally found much of it to be useful spiritually, besides perhaps Stoic philosophy, particularly that of Marcus Aurelius. But if it’s been useful for you then that’s great. i feel quite fortunate to have stumbled across Advaita Vedanta — particularly the works of Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj. The ‘immortality of the soul” is also a theme of their work:

“The real you is timeless and beyond birth and death. The body will survive as long as it is needed. It is not important that it should live long”

— Nisargadatta

“If a (wo)man considers that (s)he is born, (s)he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let her find out if (s)he has been born or if the Self has any birth. (S)he will discover that the Self always exists, that the body that is born resolves itself into thought and that the emergence of thought is the root of all mischief. Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.”

— Ramana Maharshi

Hadn’t heard that Tagore quote but it’s a good one. Many thanks for that!
