The entire universe works on the concept of Karma (person’s doings and actions). The law of karma applies to all the creatures on earth. This law is based on the theory of action and reaction. 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. In a similar way, law of Karma states that if you perform good deeds during your life, you will reap good results for the same. Similarly if you do all the wrong deeds, you will be punished by the God for same.
You must have come across thousands of people in your life; some are happy and are always healthy, whereas some are always suffering from health problems. Consider the case of some people who are running good businesses whereas some are always struggling with their business. All these sufferings and joys in your life are driven by the law of Karma. The website of karma-knowledge.com (organization helping people to choose right paths of action in their lives so that they can accumulate good Karmas) beautifully explains the different kinds of Karma. Few of the details about these Karmas are listed below.
Sanchita Karma – These are the karmas (all good and bad) which a person accumulates from his past life. These also include the karmas till the present moment in the present life. Sanchita Karmas define a person’s total Karmic account. Credits in the karmic account are defined by the good karmas and debit is defined by bad karmas. Balance of credits and debits is maintained separately in the karmic account. A soul has to face the consequences for both types of karmas during each cycle of rebirth and death. A person can reduce his karmic debits by indulging in some kind of selfless service, meditation or spiritual practices.
Prarabdha Karma – These are a portion of Sanchita Karmas (both credits and debits) which a person has to exhaust during his present life. These Prarabdha Karmas form the destiny of that person in his present life. The Good karmas of the Prarabdha karma take the form of rewards i.e. good health, good career, good life partner, adequate wealth etc. The bad karmas of the Prarabdha karma take the form of punishments such as poverty, health problems, and losses in business etc.
Agami Karma – Also known as Kriyamana Karma, Agami Karmas are the actions which are yet to be performed by the person in his present life.
