Karma Calling...

Its the call of Karma again,

Is it the fall of Dharma reign?

They say What goes around comes around?

Is it why the Earth is round?

I have often heard people talking about Karma, quoting " Its all because of your past Karma, that you are facing all these problems in the present ".This has always made me think , how can our past actions, in the current life and the past lives have an impact on our current life ?

How can this happen?, Is there someone handling this or there is someone ticking and making a list of your goods and bad. Don't know ! But the urge to know what is karma and does it have an impact?, has made me look into several books and articles.

So what is KARMA?

In simplest term, Karma means natural Law. Any thought or an act or deed which causes an effect or a reaction can be called "Karma".

What Impact does the Karma have on Us?

The law of Karma is the " Law of Causation ".

For example,you sow a seed(Action) ,it grows to be a plant(Reaction). It can be said that each action of our's either in thought or deed has a certain effect on who we are, and who we become. It is similar to Newton's third law of motion which states," For every Action there is an equal and opposite Reaction ".

Three different types of Karma, mentioned in the Indian Philosophy.

• Sanchita karma, This is the first form of Karma which is in the seed state. This karma is dormant and has not yet started to mature and is the accumulated karma from this life and past life actions.


• Kriyamana karma,This is the second form of Karma which is the current day to day karma that we perform today, and are shaping, which are soon to become seeds. Consider that these latent seeds will eventually reach maturity, and sprout at a future time, in life.


• Prarabdha karma,This is the third form of Karma that has formed from mature seeds of the Sanchita Karma and is now active in our daily life. It is the resultant derived from the seeds sown from past actions.

 

So in brief, every action or thought of ours,which is good has a good result. And every, bad thought or action has a bad result or consequence to face. Karma is not a Moral Law. It has nothing to do with punishments or rewards.

It is just our actions or deeds whose consequences we got to bear.So your action makes you what you are.

So Think Good,

Be Good and

Do Good
