do you believe in karma?

Question

why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes i belive

From my point of view karma is not related to destiny ... is more a reaction/interpretation of our self-conscince. Each person is his own judge and excutioner in the same time.
Let's supose you are doing a good/nice thing (giving one dollar to a beggar) : you are feeling happy "for me is not big deal but maybe for him can be something" and gain a positve mood. That mood can help you ignore smaller miseryes of life and let you pass them without observe them or diminuate their influence over you.
Let's say you hit a man in night with the car and you run from the scene without even looking back. Your conscience will torment you : did that man died ? he survived but crippled for ever? will the police will find you ? You begin to be consumed by your own fears, you cannnot sleep well at night, you are tired during the day, you cannot focus at your work, your boss starts arguing with you for that etc ...and therfore "karma" is paying back even if the police will never find you :)

Answer 2

In Karma conception, dangerous karma are not able to be defeated by way of doing well karmas. The account for dangerous karmas are separate. And the account of well karmas are separate. The results of karma are not able to be mitigated. It needs to be loved or suffered. There is a Sanskrit Sloka: "Avasyam anubhogthavyam kritham karma subha asubham; naa bhugtham ksheeyathe karma kalpa koti sathairapi". Meaning; We need to endure the results of our karmas, if it is well or dangerous. No karma gets erased by way of doing different deeds. Sometime we must believe that we don't seem to be doing and that nature is bringing one of these situation to drive us to take a natural direction to adopt that movement. There is a pronouncing in Mahanarayana Upanishad: "Kamokarsheet Manyurakarsheet Namo Namah". It is an problematic factor, which I don't wish to provide an explanation for right here. Those who understand can appreciate.

Answer 3

Yes...all religions have a saying similar to the Golden Rule...Pagans believe what you send out returns times three...Christians believe you reap what you sew...American Indians and African tribesmen believe in the Great Circle of life and Hindus believe in Karma....it is all very similar....so much so that as a collective mind, humans for ages have noticed that if you are evil...or mean...or pure...or nice...it influences your life...for better or worse.

Answer 4

Absolutely! You see it in many different religion as described in many different ways: what goes around comes around, do unto others as you'd have them do unto you, whatever you send out comes back times three, etc. And I've seen it in action before too.

The time I remember most vividly was when an accusation against me at work got me suspended from my job. A few years ago I went out on disability because I was having trouble adjusting to anti-depressants. After I returned to work something happened that caused me to go into a panic attack. Two people went to the office manager accusing me of threatening to stab someone, which was not true. One of the people who said the lies lost her was discovered to have lied about being married, she lost her son, her "husband" was arrested, all within a couple months. The other person involved ended up having similar problem that I had. She was diagnosed as bipolar as well as other mental/emotional issues.

There was another circumstance. I put a down payment on some furniture. Since I wasn't going to be there for the delivery, I gave my mother a check for the balance and she waited at my apartment for me. Not only did the delivery guy leave the check behind, but a $300 drill he used to put my bed together. I brought both to the furniture store the next day. In thanks for being so honest, they gave me a $100 gift certificate to use there, one with no expiration date. Honesty sometimes does pay. :)

I do. Why? Because it keeps me going each day. When things turn out for the worse I know that somewhere down the road it's going to get better. And for the ones that tried to spite me - I know deep down, it's their noses that are being cut off, not mine.
