Is Karma Real?

Question

can someone explain karma. I feel I am a good person and do good things, however something horrible happened to me, actually a few things happened all at once and I had a difficult time coping.

Answer 1

Karma is as real as real can be!! I know!! Sometimes bad things happen to good people and it really makes you think that god or whomever is against you, but they are "NOT"! I know that what goes around comes around!! Sometimes you'll see it and sometimes you won't, but in the end good "ALWAYS" triumphs over evil!! I'd much rather live my life thinking that there is a heaven then to die and find out that there isn't one! Plus it makes you feel good to be good to other people, then to be mad at everybody!! Being positive is always better than being negative!!

Answer 2

Is Karma Real

Answer 3

Are you wanting to understand why calamities happen to good people?
They happened to Job as a test of his faithfulness, After every test he learned more about himself and his realtionship with God and other people.You will do the same, I hope.

Karma isn't the only reason for events in our lives. If you read John 9:1, the disciples wanted to know if it was his karma or his parents that the man was born blind. Jesus said it was neither. He took it on himself to glorify God.

The next question might be, How could he be born with karma.?
If you deduce that reincarnation is the reason , then might not you be experiencing karma from a previous lifetime?

Jesus said every jot and tittle must be balanced Matt 5:18 Yet there is also grace. Karma can be very complex Ask for the wisdom from each initiation. That is more important than understanding what karma is returning

I just posted this a couple days ago, but here it is again.

Are you ready to get a bit deeper into Karma? It has certainly been bandied about on this site.?
The Law of Karma
The law of karma assumes that every deliberate action has its own consequence and pursues the doer, often beyond the grave. The gross bodies that a soul inhabits in the course of transmigration are thus caused by its own acts of will, the morally good ones resulting in heavenly and human bodies and the evil actions yielding the infernal and animal ones.
All Indian religions believe in this efficacy of karma (deed), and also in a psychic body as a mechanism for the transference of deeds from one birth to the other. But the Jain is distinguished by his doctrine of a karmic body, consisting of a special kind of extremely subtle atom of matter by which the soul is enmeshed during the state of transmigration and from which it is not separated even at the time of death. This subtle matter, when bound with the soul, obstructs its innate qualities of omniscience and perfect bliss. The process of its operation is explained in the following manner. Molecules composing the organs of mind, speech and body, when activated, produce vibrations (yoga) in the soul and attract the karmic matter that pervades space. This influx alone is not sufficient to bind the soul. If the soul is actuated by passions (kas{taya) such as attachment or aversion, and indulges in evil actions, then this karmic matter is absorbed by the soul, as a wet cloth absorbs dust.

Answer 5

Karma is very real and it passes on from life to life. If you believe in multiple life reincarnation, then past deeds in other lives might have an effect on the life you live today. If you believe in bi-mortality (this life and the afterlife of Heaven or Hell), then karma obviously passes over.

Also, things happen for a reason. Life is a series of lessons, and it's not limited to one life. It's hard to understand in the short-term, but in the long term, things may make more sense.

Answer 6

Karma is balance like a battery with positive and negative poles to and from which energy flows. To keep us in perfect balance the universe maintains a constant replenishing of our expended energies yin and yang. If we give off negative energies in our Daily activities we become out of balanced and the universe replenishes us with negative energy until we are again in balance.
Conversely if we give off positive energy we will be replenished
with positive until we are balanced. The important thing to remember is that it is not reward and reprimand, it is only balancing and is neutral in emotion or disbursement. This is a Yang world and although it is changing slowly it is still male, violent, aggressive and hard and innocent people sometimes get hurt and when they do they must say bless that as a lesson and
just stay the middle road.

Answer 7

karma is real. it is an all powerful universal power that relates to good and bad deeds.

if someone does something bad to you (for example) and you do not wish them harm and simply make peace with yourself over the misdeed you can be PRETTY CERTAIN that at some point in that person's life they will be put in an EXTREMLY similar situation. i've seen this happen a few times over. BUT, i think the key to karma is NOT WISHING the bad deed back on the original donor of the deed.

Answer 8

Karma is very real; I've seen it in action. It's basically "what goes around comes around." For every 'bad' thing you do, you have to pay with an equally 'bad' thing. And for every good thing you do, you get that back as well. Live a good life and you'll have no worries. ♥

Answer 9

Karma is real! Doing good things well result good karma, doing bad things well result bad karma.

Answer 10

karma is the law of action and reaction.

As we all affect all of us with our actions - we can easily end up in a bad situation due to other peoples actions ( and our own reaction on them) even we don't seek the bad situation.

Everything you do or do not do will affect everyone else ( and the other way round),
that is Karma.
