karma what does it mean?

Question

IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU:If you reach out and help someone today, you'll earn triple karma points that will be redeemed sooner than you think. Try not to worry too much about things that happened in the past.
DOES IT MEAN I WILL HAVE BAD THINGS COME BACK TO ME OR GOOD

Answer 1

I believe that Karma originates in India. But not only Indians but also people from all over the world believed in that. When you do good, then they will repay you good but if you do bad, then expect the unexpectable. Some of us also believe in life after death but as we all know, this remains mysterious.

Answer 2

Karma is sort of like a system of universal checks and balances... In some instances, karma can sound like a scary monster waiting around the corner ready to attack when you least expect it to...Now as far as I can tell, (and this isn't based on what would be called 'real science', but my own personal experience) karma is a return of "intention-energy" for want of a better term. What this essentially means is that what you do to others will eventually come back to you, sort of like the ripples on a pond's surface when you toss in a stone (they hit the bank and return to the source of their emination). Now this may or may not happen immediately (But I have seen what can be termed "instant karma"). Karma can take more than one lifetime to come back to you, but reincarnation is a whole other can of worms....And every religion has its own forms of and refernces to karma..Christianity has the tenent of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", Wicca has the Three-fold Law of Return (what you send out comes back 3 times as strong be it good or ill) just to site the two most popular examples I can think of. Karma is also another way of looking at how your actions in the past have brought you to the point in your life here in the present!!! If you chenge a tiny detail of your past, you wouldn't be where you are today!!!
I would suggest reading some books on eastern mysicism or the Hindu religion to get a really firm grasp of what karma is.
I hope I didn't confuse you; I know i really like to ramble on sometimes!!!
Later!

Karma is basically the same thing as the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That is if you treat all living things with respect, you will (should) enjoy a life in harmony and happiness. Everyone should respect you for your kindness and thoughtfulness, and things should go better for you since you don't think only of yourself.

However, the world doesn't always "like nice people" ://

Answer 4

karma, though thought by many in many ways, is the act of what you put out in the world comes back to you good or bad.

Karma:

Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses of the word, see karma (disambiguation).
Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म from the root kṛ, "to do", [meaning deed] meaning action, effect, destiny) means "(the result of) action", generally taken as 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. Individuals go through certain processes and accompanying experiences throughout their lives which they have chosen, and those would be based on the results of their own creations: "karma". Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy brought to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

The "Law of Karma" is central in Hinduism, Ayyavazhi, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism (religions born in Nepal, and India). All living creatures are responsible for their karma - way of life - and for their release from samsara. As a term, it can be traced back to the early Upanishads.

The Law of Karma is taught in the esoteric Christian tradition, Essenian and later Rosicrucian, as the "Law of Cause and Consequence/Effect" [1]. However, this western esoteric tradition adds that the essence of the teachings of Christ is that the law of sin and death may be overcome by Love, which will restore immortality.

Karma is simply the golden rule: what you give out is what you receive - either in the same or in similar form. You reap what you sow - your actions create that which you do live out now, whether this relates to a past/future life situation or to the present date.

Actions do not create karma (good or bad) only when the actions are performed by an individual in the state of Moksha. Such a person is called "Stithaprajna". Adi Sankara gave the dictum of "Akarmaiva Moksha" which means "Moksha can be attained only by doing, not by a process of effort". All actions performed by one in the state of Moksha are termed as Dharma.

The Hindus believe that everything in the Universe is in the state of creation, maintenance or destruction. The Hindu trinity of Gods Brahma (creator), Vishnu (maintainer) and Shiva (Destroyer) correspond to the states of creation, maintenance and destruction. At the thought level, the mind creates a thought, maintains (follows) it for some time and the thought ultimately dies down (perhaps to be replaced by another thought). The Hindus believe there is a fourth state of being (called Turiya) where the mind is not engaged in thinking but just observes the thoughts. Actions in the Turiya state do not create karma. The practice of meditation is aimed at giving individuals the experience of being in the Turiya state. An individual who is constantly in the Turiya state is said to have attained Moksha. In such an individual, actions happen as a response to events (and not because of thought process), such actions do not result in accumulation of Karma.

The process view of release (moksha) from ego-consciousness (ahamkar) through individual responsibility for the totality of action with its inherent karma can be contrasted with the soteriological view of mainstream denominations of Christianity: grace given by faith in the suffering, death and resurrection of a singular saviour.
