How did Thomas the Apostle live as a disciple of Christ?
St. Thomas's deeds as Our Lord's Apostle are not really mentioned in the Gospels, other than the fact that he doubted Our Lord's Resurrection, until He Appeared to him. After the Lord's Ascension & the Coming Of the Holy Spirit, St. Thomas travelled to India to preach the Gospel.
Is it possible to be resurrected?
Schools differ on this point. It would be like flunking high school and being sent back to kindergarten. Hopefully we do not need the fear of being reborn as a slug or a pig to keep from doing bad deeds. One should not get too bogged down in trying to figure out the details of how karma and reincarnation work. It is important to remember that our real nature is divine, one with Brahman. It is only an illusion that we are born in a body, die and get reborn. But while under the influence of Maya (cosmic illusion), it appears as if the law of karma operates and that the soul gets reincarnated. There will always be details that remain vague and that we cannot know for certain. How certain can you be about an illusion anyway?

What does it mean to 'not let your left hand know what your right hand doeth'?
This reference needs to be considered in context to be properly appreciated: Matthew 6:1-4 - "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly." [NKJV] Jesus is using hyperbole in v3 (a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis) to stress the importance of doing charitable deeds secretly. Think of our modern setting, in which many benefactors make charitable donations mainly for PR purposes…accompanied by press releases, news reporters, perhaps even live television coverage (sounding a trumpet before them)…to be seen as generous, caring and concerned. Such charity arises from insincere motives, and while it does indeed benefit the recipient, Jesus says that its only reward to the giver will be the praise that men offer. On the other hand, charity that arises only from true concern for the recipient should be anonymous (the point of the hyperbole). The giver, seeking NO praise for his generosity, will be rewarded by God rather than men.
