Does the son of a terrorist, who learns evil from his father from a young age incur sin?

[A questioner asked through Śrī Anil: Suppose there is a son of a terrorist, who learned all bad things from his father from a young age. Will he incur sin for his bad deeds?]

Swami replied: Sin is incurred by both the son and the terrorist father. One may think that the son is innocent, but it is not so. The son was born in that bad family due to his prārabdha karma, which is the residual part of the fruits of his deeds done in the past birth. That prārabdha karma is spent in giving the soul a new birth. The new birth granted will be good or bad, as per the deeds done by that soul. When the prārabdha is bad, even if you separate him from the bad influence of his father, his own nature acquired by him as a result of his bad deeds will eventually grow and get expressed.
