In the second para second line, please read 'Gods lime Indra' as 'Gods like Indra'. I am sorry for this typo error.

No, they will not accrue further karma, but will continue to remain with the accrued karma. Karma can be accrued only through mind and senses. A soul in isolation will not accrue karmas because it cannot act and without action, karma is not accrued.

It depends upon one's faith and spiritual evolution. Therefore, these questions can always be answered in two ways. If we ask a jñāni, he will simply smile at us and walk away. On the other hand, if you ask a scholar, he will answer thus. No, they will not. Because those lokas are much higher than lokas of gods. There is no prakṛti in those lokas. Gods lime Indra have huge desires and such gods are far inferior to realized souls like great sages and saints. For realized souls, there is no question of any planetary influences. Nothing can control them once they realize the Self.

A soul is nothing but Brahman. Brahman on His own cannot act and will not act. To accrue karma, soul needs a body to act. Hence, when a soul is in higher realms, it will neither accrue karma nor will experience karma. Devas are considered as bodies who live in higher planes and it is believed that they live with bodies with a particular form or shape. When they have bodies, they are bound to accrue and experience karmas. Sages curse those devas only if they slip from the dictums of dharma. Be it gods or humans, when they slip from the path of dharma, they have to accrue karma and experience the karma at a later period of time.

SirWill souls continue to accrue karma when they are in hell or higher lokas? For example,we have seen many stories where Devas are cursed by Sages and they are born in earth. How is that possible?

You have to go with your mind. Your decision should be based on questions that will come to your mind when you progress in the spiritual path.

If the picture is old enough, you can surely keep this at home. The picture can face any direction except the South, which is meant for our ancestors.
