"Why our physical appearance get affected?"

Description: We are all supposed to be reflection of God and not vice versa. All Gods are perfect in their physical features , than why are certain people born blind, deaf, lame etc, with some form of physical deformation. If we say it is due to bad karma, then people (souls) could suffer by some internal disease such as Cancer or Stress or Depression. Why the physical appearance?

Answer:: Reflection of God refers to soul not physical body. Soul is pure but not perfect. To gain perfection we come to earth. Atma (Soul) takes form of jivatma (Super soul) to gain knowledge & to grow. All Gods are not perfect.... Creator is perfect but demigods are not perfect. They have lower emotions too but on a different level. Now in order to become perfect we acquire the physical body. The body can be of an animal or insect or human. We have to undergo the entire cycle of 84 lac species (as per Bhagavat Gita - As It Is.) and finally when we get human body our actual growth starts. So if our body would be perfect some of the karma would not be able to be worked out. We have to suffer and undergo pain and then become perfect and become godlike. So, just as the material world is the perverted image of the spiritual world. We are the living in the perverted image and hence we are not perfect. Hence, all of us have not been given perfect body. Some of us have been given. But then they have to work out their karma in other ways not through their bodies.
