what is karma

How does the Law of Karma work?   If I ask you to look at an apple and tell me how it tastes, can you? You cannot because the eyes are only capable of seeing. To know if the apple is delicious or not, you need your tongue and taste buds to taste it. The tongue has been given the sense perception to taste, the eyes to see, the nose to smell, the ears to hear and the skin to touch and feel. We have also been given a mind to produce thoughts, a memory to record and recall and an intellect to discriminate and choose. However, we have not been given a sensory perception to understand and decode Karma. We cannot see which action of ours is being rewarded by which reaction. We are unable to define this law, and we can only try to understand its tenets. We can either accept it or refuse to acknowledge it.

The world would be a chaotic jungle without the Law of Karma. No doubt the law is complicated and difficult to understand, but the fact that it exists needs no argument. Every reaction is based on an action and every effect on a cause. The uni...

What is "Karma"?  The Law of Karma is a Law of Action and Reaction. According to this law, every action of ours is recorded and rewarded either through the good or evil that our action has caused. The Law of Karma is a universal law and holds good for everybody. Nobody can escape this law, and nothing can manipulate it. Even if the action is performed behind closed doors and unknown to the world, the Law of Karma captures it. Such is the law. Karma literally means "ACTION", but because of its global popularity, it has reached beyond that. Today if one says "Karma," it means a lot more. It indicates the existence of a cosmic law. What is the relevance of this law? Imagine something terrible happens most unexpectedly and unwarrantedly. Thereseems to be no logical reason as to why the incident happened. And we exclaim-"Karma!" Here, we are acknowledging the fact that the Law of Karma is executing itself in the circumstance that just unfolded. There ...
