Do you believe in karma?

Yes, i believe in it.. I believe that there is always an equal or maybe even more reaction to the things that you do in life, good or bad.. Which is why one must strive to do good always..

I believe in what is known as "cause and effect." While this may not sound unusual, it is. My take on karma is there are too many exaggerations placed on it, such as karma from past lives, planetary karma, etc. It oversimplifies everything. One thing the belief in karma fails to address is the way change in environment changes the fortunes of a person. Many pro-karma supporters are quick to say that, "It's because he had good karma that he was able to move to that place." But that doesn't explain why people like Li Ka-shing, who were born in poor health and miserable surroundings, rose to wealth and prominence. Li Ka-shing's transformation is more easily understood when we approach it from the point of view of Feng Shui. Li Ka-shing is a real estate magnate, and the richest man in Hong Kong. He went into real estate because his wealth element is earth. That propelled him to where he is now. And that's just one example. Yes, I do believe that we should be responsible for our actions; they always have consequences. But to say that one always meets with failure in life is because of his karma makes less sense than realizing that one is barking up the wrong tree too many times. We have a God-given right to say "No!" to our present circumstances, and our way of refusing isn't limited to chanting mantras and meditation.

I am not sure if karma appeared in the bible but the saying 'what you sow is what you reap' is definitely in it and can be found in Galatians 6:7. A wrong deed or behavior would always bring consequences.

Hi Yvi, It's an interesting topic. Do I believe in karma. No, I don't or not absolutely. I just hope that one should be redeemed for his good deeds. But is that really so? I know of lots of people who shouldn't be rewarded anyhow in their life for their wrongdoings, but they seem to be leading a contented life. What I am trying to say is that not all good people are happy and not all bad people are unhappy. If there is life after life, that is another question, but this question is just a matter of belief.

I woulk like to believe, and sometimes I feel like that. It's just or fair, what you have done will be done to you. It's a wonderful comfort when you feel like an insect... in other life you'll be loved. when you see murderer, rapers, an so on, you can think they'll be punished some time. So: The world is fair but what about forgiveness or remorse? and if it's a wonderful lie to prevent you from fighting against the injustice? A big tale which allows things to go on in the same way? why should the world be fair? Isn't it a religious prejudice? It's better to fight for the life instead of making speculations over the afterdeath

Karma is a very very broad term. It means way more than simply "reaping what you sow". There are three different kinds of Karmas, Sanchit or the accumulated works, Prarabdha or the fructifying works, Kriyaman or the current works.

Yes i heavily believe on karma. The fruits that you bear today is the result of the karmas that you have done before. If you do good karma, then you will get good results but we should never wait for the results of our karmas.

I believe in good and bad karma; that depending on how you live and treat people, it will come back to you as your just reward or punishment.

I believe in karma, or reaping what you sow. The concepts are the same. I believe these are rooted in the basic laws of cause and effect. Every thing you do effects something in some way so whatever you do reflects back to you at some point. Treat people badly and you'll end up with no friends and very lonely. Simple cause and effect, right?
