LAW OF KARMA

You can’t escape from karma. Your actions have consequences. Karma is the invisible power that balances the universe. We have all taken a different path in life but somehow we are all linked.
You created your destiny. Your fate is sealed.

What is Karma?

The definition of  karma? For every action there will always be a reaction. Your actions create a ripple in the universe. Your thoughts and actions are powerful. They carry energy. They are like an echo.
Whatever you do will eventually come back to you. Always.

You alone are responsible for your actions. You are responsible for your own karma. It is the law of cause and effect, an unbreakable law of the cosmos. You deserve everything that happens to you, good or bad. You create your happiness and your misery.

Some Secrets Echo Through Time

You are the result of your past. Your world today is just a reflection of your past. What you do today will mirror your future. Your actions create your future. What you are experiencing right now is what karma wants you to experience. Every feeling, every thought has been prepared especially for you, so you can learn from your past. You can’t escape your past, but you can learn from it.

The Invisible Factor

Let’s look at an example. Imagine a situation. Think of a person you don’t like. Think of a way to upset that person with unkind words.
Now imagine that you have executed your plan. You smile as you see this person feeling uncomfortable and eventually hurt and upset. You just created “bad karma” for yourself.
You deliberately harmed someone. Your intentions were bad. It is intention that creates karma. Good intentions will always create “good karma”. You can hide your intentions from others but not from yourself or the universe.

You will never be happy at someone else’s expense.

Even when you think you are alone there are always observers. The most important one being you.
If you take away intention then there is no karma. If you genuinely didn’t mean to harm or hurt someone then the law of karma is now absent. It is your intention that invokes karma, good or bad. No one can violate natures law of karma.
You may be powerful or weak today but your destiny can be reversed at any moment. Your life can change in an instant.

Is Karma Real?

A karmic experience allows you to reflect and correct your mistakes. Karma teaches you and makes your knowledge of the world more complete. The universe wants you to understand the suffering of others. To do this your must experience life from many different perspectives. It is essential to understand why you did something and what the consequences were.
It is only when you step into someone else’s shoes that you begin to really understand how they feel. You will continue to have the same experiences until you learn what others feel and experience.
You will be tested on everything you say or do.
Judgement has a negative effect. The more you judge people the more you will be judged.

The Universe is Teaching You

There are no “other people”. We are all one. When you kick a tramp on the street you are kicking yourself. When you laugh or mock someone you are mocking and laughing at yourself. When you harm another, you are harming yourself. The law of karma helps you to become a better person.
Being kind to others is the same as being kind to yourself. Your inconvenience is minor if you stop and help someone. But for them it means a great deal.
You have free will. It is you who makes the final decision.

Your Pain is a Blessing in Disguise

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught you what you must know.
Guilt is a form of punishment. Painful results in your life come from actions you took that clashed with the goals of the universe. The pain drives home the lesson. What are the goals of the universe? Everlasting love.
Karma treats everyone equally. You won’t get special treatment. Learn from your past. Learn from the lessons of your life.

Change Your Destiny

Can you change your karma? Yes. You cannot stop karma but you can change it. Anything you did in your past can be “undone” by doing good now. You have reaped what you sowed. You created your own destiny, now you can recreate it. How? You have free will. You can learn from the past.
A clear conscience can’t be bought from a moment of regret or shame. If you want forgiveness for your selfish actions you must first take responsibility for them.
Regret is the starting point. Feeling bad about what you did sends a signal to the universe. You must really mean what you say. It’s about learning through compassion. That comes from very carefully imagining how others feel. You are saying that you understand your past actions were wrong. You have awareness. This is the beginning. You have started to undo what you did.
You have to experience what you have done to others.
If you ever harmed anyone, ask them for forgiveness. Their forgiveness will dissolve any bad karma and turn it into good karma. Your guilt will disappear. You will feel wonderful.

Love your enemies. Don’t seek revenge.

Only when everyone is your friend and you have no enemies do you become powerful. When you have to fight you are no longer powerful. Enemies bring worries. Friends bring happiness.
Revenge usually inflicts self-damage. When you hate or dislike someone it creates negativity. Wishing someone well who hurt you allows you to let go of bad energy. You just have to wish them well in your mind and mean it.
Anyone who has hurt you will receive their karma. You don’t have to do anything other than forgive them. It’s a difficult thing to do but will give you an amazing feeling of relief. You will be released to carry on with the good things in your life.
Do not seek revenge. You will only hurt yourself and others around you. Allow the universe to use its infinite powers to help you. No one can harm you when your intentions are pure.
Destroy your enemies. Make them your friends!

Balance

Our thoughts and actions are the forces we send out of ourselves. All life is expression. Your soul is trying to see itself in everything. The universe wants harmony. It seeks balance.

Does Karma have an immediate effect?

To fully understand why what you did was good or bad can take time. Many lessons are instant but some things can only be learned over time. So karma plants a seed. Over time it will grow. At just the right moment, the exact moment, you will receive your karma.
Remember the purpose of karma is not revenge. The universe is not vengeful. The purpose of karma is to help you become a better person.
The effects of karma are sometimes immediate and in other cases there is a delay. There will always be an effect, no matter how long the delay. The consequences of your actions good or bad may even follow you into the next life.
It is impossible to escape your karma.

Good Karma. Bad Karma.

When you experience good karma always remember to be grateful. Gratitude means you understand that your actions were good. Most people only notice their bad karma. Notice your good karma and say, “thank you”.
The more spiritual you are the faster your karma will be returned. The more you know, the more responsible you are. A person who understands spiritual laws and does not practice them suffers greatly.
The opposite is also true. When you are kind and loving your karma is returned in the most beautiful way. You have a magic blanket of protection around you. The most powerful forces are with you.
