1. What is the Law of Karma?

The law of karma is the law of cause and effect. It is the belief that our actions and thoughts create our reality and that we will experience the consequences of our actions, good or bad.

The law of karma is a Universal law, which means it applies to everyone and everything. It is the law of nature that governs our lives and our universe. Everything that happens to us is a result of our own actions and thoughts.

The law of karma is a powerful tool for personal growth and development. It can help us to understand our past, present, and future. It can also help us to create the reality we want to experience.

2. Its Roots in Eastern Philosophy

The Law of Karma can be traced back to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It is a philosophy that has been around for millennia and continues to be popular in Eastern cultures. This philosophy states that the consequence of an action must be felt, even if it takes a long time for it to be felt.

The Law of Karma is based on the principle of cause and effect. We live in a universe ruled by cause and effect. Any action we take has consequences. We will receive whatever we give, good or bad.

The Law of Karma encourages us to be mindful of our actions, as whatever we sow, we will reap. It is a reminder that our lives are not disconnected from the universe. We are connected to nature and the environment, and our actions have reverberations on the entire universe.

The Law of Karma is also a reminder to take responsibility for our actions and be accountable for our mistakes. When we are mindful of the consequences of our actions, we will think twice before taking any action that could harm others or ourselves.

3. The Law of Karma and Newton's Third Law

The Law of Karma is often compared to one of Newton's famous laws, the third law of motion. This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law can be easily be interpreted to mean that whatever we put out into the universe, we will receive back.

The Law of Karma is slightly different from Newton's third law of motion in that it is not so much a law of physics, but rather a spiritual law. Karma doesn't dictate how we should act, but encourages us to be mindful of our actions and their consequences. It not so much about a law of cause and effect, but more about compassion, empathy and understanding.

The Law of Karma teaches us that our actions relate to matters of the heart. It is beneficial to take responsibility for our actions, remain mindful of their consequences, and to react with compassion instead of hatred or anger.

In this way, the Law of Karma connects to the universal cosmic laws of the universe and helps us understand that what goes around, comes around. We should strive to take actions that will help us create a better world and benefit all.

4. The Three Types of Karma

The Law of Karma is often broken down into three distinct types:

1. Sanchita Karma – The collective karma that is the result of all of the actions you have taken in all of your past lives. It will eventually manifest throughout your current incarnation.

2. Prarabdha Karma – The portion of your Sanchita Karma accumulated in your current incarnation from which your life is a reflection. Prarabdha Karma is the cause of your life, or destiny, and dictates the course of your life.

3. Agami Karma – The new karma that you create everyday. This is the karma that we have control over and that affects our future lives.

These three types of karma represent the balance of your spiritual debt and credit. Each action and thought has an impact on our future and determines our level of spiritual enlightenment that ultimately decides our future incarnations. We should always strive to do the right thing so we can create a better future for ourselves and those around us.
