Karma is a concept that helps us transform into a better person. It tries to evolve our soul so that we can lead a positive life. The main thing about Karma is it does not come in any form. The things you do will come back to you in some way or the other. If you are doing well to someone or contributing to doing well for people, then you will get good results in your life. You may not be successful in the endeavor, but the good results will come in a different form that is unexpected to you. This is how Karma works.

So, after you have read the above mentioned things you may think that it is not always possible to do good things. Because, there are times when you have to be bad for a good outcome.

Read MoreIS KARMA OUR DESTINY?
‘Karma’ is a Sanskrit word which in India mainly means action or deed that has been performed by an individual in his or her entire span of life. Our karma influences our way of living and activities that we perform. In Hinduism, many people coincides karma with God’s will. The people who follow Vedanta consider God to be a supreme power, which has a great role in deciding the actions or deeds that individuals perform. It is not merely based on the law of cause and effect but is dependent on God’s will which means that it is not always true that your actions will decide your fate because it is God, who has planned your destiny. It is believed that God our almighty is fair in his decisions so whatever He does has a reason. Neither he gives pain and suffering to people unreasonably nor does He make people happy without any cause. Karma is based on the deeds of a person, it is not punishment. God neither punishes nor reprimands His followers rather He tries to teach them lessons of life by showing them the impacts of their actions. We experience the consequences of our actions or deeds and it is not based on any logic. It is also not based on the fact that as you sow so you reap. Though it is believed that if a person does good deeds, he or she will be gifted for their goodness, and if people do bad deeds, they will have to pay for it, this logic does not always hold true. There is no particular outcome of a particular action as every action is based on certain circumstances. It is not fate; rather it is our free will, which finds expression through our actions and deeds. It is we who perform different activities and thereby decides our own destiny which happens as designed by God. We can conquer our karma by our intelligence and should never desire for the fruitfulness of their action. Every person has to execute his or her duty on earth. God has decided for the actions or duties that everybody would act upon in their life. Only by completing his or her actions a person can break free from the cycle of life and death and attain moksha.

Whatever a person will sow, he shall reap the results accordingly. The law is similar to the Newton’s law of action and reaction which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
