Is there a - no religion based- Karma?

Question

And if yes
Can a karma that are -not based on a postmortem system of punishments and rewards- be as effective as the religions based Karma.?
And i mean effective on the broad spectrum of the society ,not only the cultured.

Answer 1

Sure
What Goes around Comes Around,or You Reap What You Sow.
even non -religious or non-spiritual people can relate to this as a truth.
instead of reaping what you've sown in the next life, it happens in the present tense.
such a philosophy is based not on fear of displeasing a Deity or fear of punishment but rather the logic of- Like begets Like.
and recognizing how ones actions effect his surroundings including other peoples reactions.
How would this work as a whole in general society?
It wouldn,t because you'd have to have everyone on the same page.
you could probably achieve this in a controlled environment where everyone was in agreement for the greater good. like a kindergarten room!LOL
or a Utopian society.
but for the whole ,man will always be in turmoil between his hungers and what is logical, even when in agreement with the reap what you sow philosophy.In the end there would be a need for an authority to enforce the rules and SO here we are ! back to a system of rewards and punishment.

No Karma is not religion based son. It applied to every living thing on this earth. Every one does his own duty, from one cell anomalies to today's man. Every karma done in past, is reflected in the future. Just like a seed sown yesterday, is a sapling today, and will which grow into a beautiful flower Tomorrow. Karma simply put, means, the purpose you have been born.

Life is unending trail to find what is your life all about, whys and the how. But you karma, is given the most important place in this trail, because without it you would not move forward. A child would not grow to be an adult, if it is not his karma to do so. Lord Krishna says that Karma and Dar ma (religion) are not the property of any one race or religion, it is this one that bind the human race to gather, no matter who they are, what colour they are or what beliefs they hold.

We say if it is in his karma, he will get that job, simply put if he has done his best, then that action will have a reaction, whether he wants it or not. Each will be paid accordingly, when the time come, not when you want it. So Don't Worry Be Happy! Its out of your hand.

Answer 3

Karma in a large sense is used to explain a concept of punishment and rewards based on your present or past actions. That is about as broad as it gets.

In a more present form, that is when you choose not believe in re-incarnation, Karma can then be very hard to justify or explain even to the most cultured. This obviously means that Karma has to be tied with religion. The very concept of reincarnation has roots in all the old world religions.

Answer 4

Outside of religion. Assume no god, no supernatural...etc.

Logically then, we're down to the big bang and evolution (assuming aliens didn't place us here as an experiment).

Karma then would have to be a natural force in nature, which would then be a supernatural power, i.e., a religious thing. So I say NO.

However, it SEEMS like there would be Karma because life is cyclic. You see someone always kind to people, and kindness will be returned (people say Karma). But bad things happen to good people too.

Take a bad person, eventually a bad thing will happen to them and people say - Karma!! However, good things happen to bad people too.

I stick to my "no" answer.

Answer 5

I think that's where things like The Golden Rule come in...

"Do to others what you'd want done to you"

At the end of the day, many things that we consider human decency are tied back into one religion or another, but The Golden Rule doesn't attach a punishment or warning like "what goes around comes around" its more based on what each of us desires.

Answer 6

The law of cause and effect is known in philosophical
texts also. There is a very specific law in science.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction". If you write it in English, it becomes
Newton's Law. If you write it in Sanskrit, it becomes
Law of Karma.

This law is applicable for all actions - those of past life
and those of present life. One should note that Karma
is not fatalism. The wording "for every action" says
that one has freedom of action. The law only cautions
one about the equal reaction which is inevitable.

Answer 7

Well what goes round comes round, so if I am judging and condemning, why am I surprised when I get judged and condemned. I need to treat people the way I want treated, not treat them the way they treat me, that is tit for tat and nothing changes. I need to act 'mature' and remember whatever seed that I sow, will come back, that is Karma. Irrespective of the seeds others sow. What am I doing to contribute to society or am I waiting on others to begin, I am putting conditions on my Karma. What goes round comes round.
