Karma is a concept rooted in many Indian religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. At its core, karma refers to the law of cause and effect — the idea that a person’s actions (good or bad) directly influence their future experiences.
In Simple Terms:
“What you give to the world — through your thoughts, words, or deeds — eventually comes back to you.”
Key Points About Karma:
Action-Based: Karma literally means “action” in Sanskrit. Every action, intentional or not, generates karma.
Moral Consequence: Good actions lead to positive outcomes (good karma); bad actions lead to suffering (bad karma).
Not Instant: The effects of karma may not be immediate. They might manifest later in life or even in future lifetimes, depending on the belief system.
Self-Responsibility: Karma places responsibility on the individual for their own destiny. You shape your future by your present actions.
Types of Karma (in Hindu philosophy):
Sanchita Karma – The accumulated karma from past lives.
Prarabdha Karma – The portion of past karma that is currently playing out in your life.
Kriyamana Karma – The karma you are creating now through your current actions.
In essence, karma teaches mindfulness — encouraging people to act with awareness, compassion, and integrity.
Spread Goodness, Spread Happiness
We’ve all heard the word Karma — and most of us believe in it, whether consciously or not. We grow up hearing countless stories that reflect this idea: “Do good, and good will come back to you.”
But what does that truly mean?
In today’s world, we often mirror each other’s actions.
If someone treats us kindly, we respond with kindness.
If someone is rude or hurtful, we mirror that behavior too.
But is this the true essence of goodness?
We tend to expect others to treat us the same way we treat them.
We want our good deeds to be acknowledged, returned, or at least recognized.
But true goodness is not transactional — it’s transformational.
Real goodness is one-sided. It’s pure. It does not wait for equality.
It doesn’t depend on how others behave. Even when someone is unjust, unkind, or cruel, choosing to remain kind — choosing not to react with the same negativity — is the highest form of strength.
On a scale of good and evil, evil might seem heavier, louder, and more dominant.
But goodness — even when it lowers itself — grows in value.
It bends, it bows, it absorbs — yet it leaves a lasting mark.
Being good doesn’t mean being weak.
It means rising above, even when others try to drag you down.
So, no matter what the world gives you —
Give back goodness.
Give back light.
Because when you spread goodness, you spread happiness.
