Karma is all about what kind of merits our actions and inactions bring into our lives. A good deed is good karma and a bad deed is bad karma. Good karma brings good responses and bad karma brings bad responses. Basically, it works on a cause-and-effect theory. Let us see how it plays out for us in real life.
The first law which is called the great law lays down that whatever we put into the Universe will come back to us. This is very similar to what a computer does. In the early days of computers, some critics used to say that computers are nothing great. It is nothing without the human mind because the whole process of computer boils down to Garbage in—Garbage out! Another great example of the great law of karma is like the Australian weapon called ‘Boomerang.’ If you throw a boomerang at someone, it will get back at you instead of striking the person at whom it is thrown.
The second law of karma is the law of creation. This law says that life does not happen by itself, we need to make it happen. It is another way of saying that nothing happens all by itself. It takes concerted efforts to get things moving.
The law of humility is the third law of karma. It implies that one must first accept something before one tries to change it. In other words, we must shed our ego and be humble enough to accept a situation before we can think of changing it.
The fourth law is called the law of responsibility. It says that we must take responsibility for everything in our lives. It means that nobody else but we ourselves are to blame for everything that goes wrong in our lives. When we shove the blame for a misdemeanor on someone else, we are fleeing from the situation. We are actually looking for a scapegoat to pile the blame on for something that went wrong thereby shirking our own responsibility for the situation. Unless we accept our responsibility for our mistakes, we will never be able to mend our ways and set things right.
History repeats itself until we learn from it and change our path. That’s the fifth law of karma which is known as the law of change.
The sixth law of karma is the law of patience and reward. It says that the most valuable rewards require persistence. Nothing happens overnight. We will not be able to reap the benefits of our efforts unless we apply ourselves completely to the task at hand and see that it meets its logical conclusion.
The law of significance and inspiration is the seventh law of karma. It lays down that rewards are a result of the energy and effort we put into it. This is true.
I hope these seven laws karma will inspire you to chart a course that would lead you to good karma which will bring numerous merits to your life.
