i was accused of being the karma of a friends mis fortunes, is it logical?

Answer 1

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

Answer 2

Karma is something people bring on themselves, it was the persons fault and not yours. If you do have bad karma or you did something to the person, it will come back later, it could just be a false accusation, but meditate with a white candle to be safe about it.

Answer 3

I'm guessing that the person who told you that doesn't have a good understanding of the concept of Karma. Karma is your own and not some sort of "bad energy" around you.

Answer 4

It sounds like babbling idiocy to me. Here's the situation about karma so you can discern carefully and shut him/her down next time with education:

Karma is about cause and effect. A person's actions in this life and previous lives creates what we refer to loosely like a "seed" or (bakchak). Let's take anger as an example:

Anger forms in your mind because something caused it... mental distortions due to past karma (past lives) or causes and conditions from this life (education, parents teaching you, bad life experiences, etc.)... ANGER ARISES... sometimes you act on it sometimes you don't. (I'll address this later)

BOTTOM LINE... the minute the causes and conditions that stirred anger into your mind a karmic seed is implanted. If you ACT on that anger, another seed is implanted.

NOW think about a seed... it needs causes and conditions to make it grow and when they DO grow... they always wind up being BIGGER than their initial object... i.e. they turn into something BIGGER... karma is like this... you do something you plant a karmic seed, even in thought, and the result WILL come back to you only BIGGER. The RESULT of the seed will ALWAYS be similar to the seed that you planted... say if your anger caused you to kill someone... in your NEXT LIFE, or even later in this one... someone might kill you or a loved one or something similarly tragic... it's very complicated in the cause and effect category so I won't go any deeper but I think you get the idea.

YOU as a person cannot be the result of a karmic seed. YOUR ACTIONS can be perceived by that person as being the fruition of their own bad karma, but YOUR body isn't their bad karma.

Here's the catch you can hit them with: WISDOM is in meeting your "bad karma" with patience and a cultivated calm mind (through meditation, Hindu or Buddhist) and when you meet karma with non-attachment and non-aversion, THEN you destroy the fruits of that karmic seed thereby ending the cycle of karmic debt. If they don't want anymore bad karma... they can work it off by meeting the misfortunes with a calm, patient mind that understands the true nature of that karmic result they're experiencing and not take it out on you.

Hope that helps... but deliver the lesson with patience and compassion... being "snotty" or arrogant about it will only give YOU a bad karmic result...

Answer 7

O! what an ignorance of Sanskrit language!!!!! -yet using a Sanskrit word wrongly -is it arrogance? or mocking at the doctrine of Karma or Hindus? You might have been accused of KARTHA (not KARMA) of your friend's misfotune-it is possible--you seem likely to be the KARTHA of many peoples' misfortune due to your ignorance(Gjnaatha or Agjnaatha)

Answer 8

What is karma?
As I understand it, it is the notion that what goes around comes around.
Were you a part of the going around...or the coming around??

Answer 9

Forget it! It is a word, period.

Now you may have been the cause of your friends misfortune, were you? Did you purposely do something to cause it?
If so, and if you are sorry, tell your friend and offer to help.

Answer 10

no...
just pray for this friend (in a positive way : )~
