Answer 1

Yep.

Love and blessings Don

Answer 2

"Good" and "bad" are relative terms. All actions we take are both good and bad at the same time. I may buy a loaf of bread for a poor family, but that loaf was made by growing and then killing yeast; it was likely delivered to the store in a truck that consumed fossil fuel that polluted the atmosphere; it was packaged in plastic, also from fossil fuel, that when discarded will be garbage polluting the Earth. Here's a more basic example: every breath we take adds a few seconds to our life, but also takes us one breath closer to our last.Something good is something we perceived as more beneficial than detrimental; and visa versa for something that is bad.
In karma, we receive what we give, without regard for good and bad.

Answer 3

Of-course. Yesterday you ate bad food, you got stomachache to day. Today you ate medicine you are cured tomorrow. Our actions reflect back on to us. When the gap between action and reflection is too large to remember the first, it is called Karma. Normally when the reflection is uncomfortable it is termed as karma, and when reflection is comfortable It is called good-luck, Adrushta etc.
Both are one and the same which is called karma.

Answer 4

Yes, but in the end you are bound by either the iron chains of bad karma or the gold chains of good karma.

The idea is to transcend karma.

Answer 5

Karma simply means action which can be good or bad or transendental to both good and bad. Good karma leads to happiness and bad karma leads to suffering. Transendental karma or bhakti leads to the spiritiual world for eternal happiness not temporary happiness or suffering.


1.Karma-actions prescribed in the vedas,pious.
2.Vikarma-forbidden actions unauthorized in the vedas, impious.
3.Akarma- action without reaction to work, transcendental activities in Krishna consciousness which promotes one back to the spiritual world where one originally came from.

Both karma and vikarma binds one in the material world implicating one in temporary happiness and suffering.
Akarma, devotional service to Krishna frees one from the bodage of material world and situates one in one's original constitutional position of rendering transcendental loving devotional service to the Lord.

Below is some excerpts from the Introduction to Bhagavad-gita-as-it-is by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
The effects of karma may be very old indeed. We are suffering or enjoying the results of our activities from time immemorial, but we can change the results of our karma, or our activity, and this change depends on the perfection of our knowledge. We are engaged in various activities. Undoubtedly we do not know what sort of activities we should adopt to gain relief from the actions and reactions of all these activities, but this is also explained in the Bhagavad-gita. . .

. . . Material nature itself is constituted by three qualities: the mode of goodness, the mode of passion and the mode of ignorance. Above these modes there is eternal time, and by a combination of these modes of nature and under the control and purview of eternal time there are activities, which are called karma. These activities are being carried out from time immemorial, and we are suffering or enjoying the fruits of our activities. For instance, suppose I am a businessman and have worked very hard with intelligence and have amassed a great bank balance. Then I am an enjoyer. But then say I have lost all my money in business; then I am a sufferer. Similarly, in every field of life we enjoy the results of our work, or we suffer the results. This is called karma . . .

. . . The living entity forgets what to do. First of all he makes a determination to act in a certain way, and then he is entangled in the actions and reactions of his own karma. After giving up one type of body, he enters another type of body, as we take off and put on clothes. As the soul thus migrates, he suffers the actions and reactions of his past activities. These activities can be changed when the living being is in the mode of goodness, in sanity, and understands what sort of activities he should adopt. If he does so, then all the actions and reactions of his past activities can be changed. Consequently, karma is not eternal. Therefore we stated that of the five items (isvara, jiva, prakrti, time and karma) four are eternal, whereas karma is not eternal.
