Karma
What goes around comes around. Or does it? Have you ever wonder what karma is all about? Generally, not many people understand what is and how to deal with karma.
Based on some of my readings, karma is principally the same as the verse "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Karma is also called the law of the circle. It states that whatever deeds we have done past or present, good or bad, it will comes back to us so that our soul can learn the life lessons.
According to the karma teaching, soul is eternal and is reborn after a person dies. This is the law of reincarnation. Therefore, both good and bad karma can be returned to you at your doorsteps even after this life so that you will have never-ending sequence of natural life to work on your karma by balancing your karmic debts, fulfill your heavenly plan and bond to your higher self. All these are not likely to fulfill in one lifetime.
Our fate is determined by our own actions, choices, words, thoughts, feelings and decisions. Our past choices and decisions made set the course for our current situations and the choices that we make today will decide on our future. Therefore, in each life, we should try to do more good deeds and evolve spiritually so that our future life will be better than our current.
In conclusion, it seems that somewhere in the universe there is a system out there to keep track of our good and bad actions in which there will be a reward and punishment system. Ultimately, each individual has the responsibility of their own actions.
Mostly, advocates for principle of karma believe in reincarnation and their goal is to break free the cycle of reincarnation and to achieve nirvana. The principle of karma also place importance on the intent of one’s action. Therefore, if you intentionally hurt someone by words or actions, you will create a bad karma and you would have to bear the consequences. However, if you don’t have the intention but accidentally hurt someone, this won’t create bad karma. The same principal of intention also applies to good karma.
So, do you believe in karma? Or maybe you should think twice and always hold on the saying “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. If that is the case, I believe the world will be a better place.
