What (and Why) Is Karma? #short

(Note: the narration in this video was created using an AI text-to-video app. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.)

Karma, derived from the Sanskrit root kri, which means to act, do, or make, means any kind of action, including thought and feeling. It also means the effects of action.

Karma is both action and reaction, the metaphysical equivalent of the principle: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

In Christianity we speak of karma as the Law of Compensation, or Retribution. Saint Paul warns, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7). It might be more appropriate for a Christian to use the term “sowing and reaping,” but karma is much shorter!

The Golden Rule is usually thought of as a poetic ideal, but it is Jesus’ very practical teaching on karma: “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matthew 7:12). In other words, Jesus is showing us how to create our future by the use of the Law of Sowing and Reaping.

Comprehending the two principles of karma and rebirth is not needful just because they are facts of universal life, but because they give us a right perspective on all facets of life itself. Without knowledge of these two fundamental laws, a “working” concept of ourselves and our lives is impossible.

Seeing ourselves as fundamentally evolving consciousnesses confined in bodies and an environment whose only real purpose is evolution, we will naturally shape our lives accordingly and deal with our life experiences within that greater context.

Hello 👋
Please I have a question 🙋‍♂️!?

First there must be the understanding that we never die but only transmigrate from body to body . next we have not been humans throughout existence and have come from many bodies to finally gain this human body... If we fail in our duties to the Lord.. The karma is to receive another body other than human in order to pay back karma... In the human body karma is worked through with God consciousness to stop the Karma.. Otherwise you just continue to accumulate till you figure it out. Hare Krsna!! Wake up!! God's blessing!!!
