do you believe in karma?

Question

what goes around, comes around?????? scary question!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes, I do believe in karma. It may be a good karma or a bad karma. However, most people have notions that it only pertains to bad karma. To understand the concept of karma, one has to understand its meaning.

Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म from the root kṛ, "to do", [meaning deed] meaning action, effect, destiny) is a term that comprises the entire cycle of cause and effect. Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The effects of all deeds actively create present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain in others.

In other words, karma is the fruit or result of a decision made and action taken. So, if one does good deeds (to self and others), he sows good fortune (good karma). If he does bad deeds (to self and others), he sows misfortune (bad karma).

Answer 2

Believe.....No. Do I know there is Karma.....Yes! Part of today's problems stem from beliefs. People believe in the absence of proof. With beliefs you get a myriad of answers that are mostly horse ****! Karma is not obvious because we live in a place that has a dimension called time. Time separates us from cause and effect. We may do a kindness or a hurtful thing and the result may come back to us in days, years or another lifetime. If the illusion of time (it's always now...you can talk about the past or future, but you can only live NOW!) was removed, we would see an immediate reward or punishment for our deeds and so people would become compliant, but that is not what the creator intended. We are here in this physical plane and we need to learn. Know the rules (of life) and you can win at this game. Be ignorant of the rules and you'll be using a newspaper to keep you warm on a park bench next to someone screaming that you can be saved, if only you believe!

Answer 3

I was just talking about karma to my sister-in-law not an hour ago. Her MIL is a very bad person who has gotten away with doing bad deeds for so long that now she thinks that she is untouchable. I told my SIL that her MIL will get what's coming to her. Already the woman has lost her job and had to have knee replacement surgery. If that's not karma circling for something big, then I don't know what.

What you put out into this world comes back to you 3 fold, may it be good or bad. Blessed Be.

Answer 4

Yes I do believe in Karma! what goes around comes around!

Answer 5

Yes indeed! Karma is a reality. There is good Karma and bad Karma.
Watch the movie Pay it forward. This is the type of what goes around comes around I prefer.

Answer 6

Yes, how else are going to explain: why you were born to a particular set of parents, in a particular location and why things happen the way they do: the only explanation is that you are carrying your bagaage of good and bad deeds from your previous birth and that is how the path for your this life is determined.
Yes, and what goes around does come around, but the best part is you don't know when, where, how and with what intensity, for it accumulates interest as the time goes y, this goes for all deeds.

Answer 7

Yes, To know what is karma, you should have the sufficient spiritual knowledge. Many people fail because they believe karma is kartavya karma only.

Answer 8

I believe Karma is the creation of a guilty conscience. Think about it. We're born, as we are growing up our parents are the ones to meter out deserved punishment. We're told what is right and what is wrong. As we grow up and move out from under our parents we find we live in a world with no moral consequence. We either turn towards God or Karma to meter the punishments when it is really our minds telling us we've done something we know we shouldn't have. We unconsciously place ourselves in situations that mimic the one that we feel the guilt about, wait for the punishment, and when it arrives we relate it back to the situation that we held the guilt for. Thus we feel punished for our wrong and the universe is in balance again.

Answer 9

I think people have too much of a "biblical" belief about karma. I don't believe it is so strict as to truly be "an eye for an eye." Karma is really the accumulation of past experiences from our former incarnations as human beings (and our present incarnation, as we build and spend karma in this life), and must be expended and balanced before a human becomes enlightened.

Karma is an accumulation of all our past failures, successes, resistances, loves, hates, whatever - all our former mental attachments that must be loosened over time (a long, long, long time.)

It's nothing to be feared - without it, there would be nothing to overcome in life, no purpose in our separate existence from God, or the Infinite, or whatever you want to call it.

Answer 10

I most certainly do. But karma is a generic term. Karma is both good and bad. So what ever you do be it good or bad will come back to you eithe 3, 7,0r 9 times (depending on your belief mine is 3). I have experienced "instant Karma" and then there is the karma that will occur after you die and all your deeds get measured.
