Most people have heard of Karma, but most, if any at all, can make their peace with it. At least not all the time. The Law of Karma, simply states \”What you sow, so shall you reap\”!

Put another way, the law is the law of action and reaction. Within the seed lies the pattern for the whole tree. When you plant an orange seed, the entire knowledge of the orange tree, its form, structure, composition, formation, and potential lies latent in that tiny seed. All it needs is a fertile ground to put this information to use. From the perspective of the law of karma, the effect of each action, is already inherent in it. It is not about judging or punishing someone. The effect is pre-determined by the cause. So every action has a precise repercussion. Therefore, if one is ok with a particular repercussion they should continue to do the action, else they should change the action to avoid undesirable effects.

Lets take an example – If one puts their finger in a flame, the finger is going to get burned. There is no question of judgement. It\’s not a punitive action. Anyone doing so, would experience the same result. Similarly, if someone was to do an action with a positive outcome such as if you light a candle in the dark, you will be able to see. It\’s not an act of benovelence or kindness. It\’s the result of the action. Therefore, if the result is desirable to someone, they should continue with the action, else they should change.

The Laws of Nature by themselves are neither punitive nor rewarding. It merely states a rule, quite like Newton\’s third law – \”To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction..\”. The Law of Gravity is another such law. If you jump from a high building, you will fall to the ground. It\’s not that God or someone up there was punishing you. There is a law and as long as you are on this planet it applies to you. Same is true for the law of Karma. As long as you inhabit this planet, the laws of this planet are applicable to you.

Most people, however are lost in the self pity of \”why did this happen to me\” or \”I have never ever done anything to harm anyone\” etc. This may or may not be true, depending on how well your memory serves you. So lets go back to our little orange seed. When you plant this one seed, what you reap is an entire orange tree, which will reap oranges for you, year after year. This implies that the result of the simple action of planting this seed, has a much bigger reaction or result associated with it. Therefore, it is likely that the seed you sowed might be quite small compared to the crisis that you may be yielding in your life right now. This would obviously create a difficulty in associating the result with the original action, leading people to believe in the general notion that life is unfair. But we often don\’t think of this for the perspective of the desirable effects. If one negative action will reap a lot of trouble for you, in time, the same is true for positive actions. Isn\’t it likely that one positive action could reap a far greater beneficial return. So whether life is unfair or overtly generous, would really depend on what seeds one has been planting. The glass has water – whether it is half empty or half full will depend on who is looking.
