Most people view Karma as a punishment. The phrase, “karma is a b$&@!” comes quickly to mind. However, this is a misconception about karma that is drawn from the media and the misunderstanding of culture and religion.

Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. One can think of karma as the spiritual equivalent of Newton’s Law of Motion. “For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.” Basically, when we exhibit a negative force in thought, word, or action, that negative energy will come back to us.

However, karma is not meant to be a punishment. It is present for the sake of education. How else is someone to learn how to be a good person if they are never taught that harmful action is wrong. A person only suffers if they have created the conditions for suffering.

Here are the 12 laws of Karma everyone should know!

1. The Great Law

  • “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Also known as the “Law of Cause and Effect.”
  • To receive happiness, peace, love, and friendship, one must BE happy, peaceful, loving, and a true friend.
  • Whatever one puts out into the Universe will come back to them.

2. The Law of Creation

  • Life requires our participation to happen. It does not happen by itself.
  • We are one with the Universe, both inside and out.
  • Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.
  • Surround yourself with what you want to have in your life and be yourself.

3. The Law of Humility

  • One must accept something in order to change it.
  • If all one sees is an enemy or a negative character trait, then they are not and cannot be focused on a higher level of existence.

4. The Law of Growth

  • “Wherever you go, there you are.”
  • It is we who must change and not the people, places or things around us if we want to grow spiritually.
  • All we are given is ourselves. That is the only thing we have control over.
  • When we change who and what we are within our hearts, our lives follow suit and change too.

5. The Law of Responsibility

  • If there is something wrong in one’s life, there is something wrong in them.
  • We mirror what surrounds us, and what surrounds us mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth.
  • One must take responsibility for what is in one’s life.

6. The Law of Connection

  • The smallest or seemingly least important of things must be done because everything in the Universe is connected.
  • Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on.
  • Someone must do the initial work to get a job done.
  • Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance. They are both needed to accomplish the task.
  • Past, Present, and Future are all connected.

7. The Law of Focus

  • One cannot think of two things at the same time.
  • If our focus is on Spiritual Values, it is not possible for us to have lower thoughts like greed or anger.

8. The Law of Giving and Hospitality

  • If one believes something to be true, then sometime in their life they will be called upon to demonstrate that truth.
  • Here is where one puts what they CLAIM to have learned into PRACTICE.

9. The Law of Here and Now

  • One cannot be in the here and now if they are looking backward to examine what was or forward to worry about the future.
  • Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, and old dreams prevent us from having new ones.

10. The Law of Change

  • History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.

11. The Law of Patience and Reward

  • All Rewards require initial toil.
  • Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil.
  • True joy comes from doing what one is supposed to be doing, and knowing that the reward will come in its own time.

12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration

  • One gets back from something whatever they put into it.
  • The true value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it.
  • Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole.
  • Lesser contributions have no impact on the Whole, nor do they work to diminish it.
  • Loving contributions bring life to and inspire the Whole.

Karma is a lifestyle that promotes positive thinking and actions. It also employs self-reflection to fix the problems in one’s life.

    But what if there’s no karma? Ha, isn’t it scary?
    What if I’m having all my lives at the same time in all Universes? What if time is not linear?
    Maybe I choose to die from cancer in one life and from boredom in another. Maybe I’m “good and fearful” in this life and evil in that life. What if I’m all at the same time?
    What if “Father and me are one”?
    Why do people love security of laws so they create laws for everything including their inner world. Especially inner world.
    Have you ever thought about those things David?

      There is a difference between man-made laws and natural law. For instance, the law of gravity works whether or not you believe it. Cause and effect, if you jump off a cliff you will suffer the physical consequences. Another name for karma is consequentialism, before you take an action you have to first have the thought about that action and how you are going to implement it. Now if you decided to jump off a cliff, the consequences would be immediate. However, if you decided to live on junk food and take in junk thoughts, the results might not be so immediate and you may not make the connection, but the results will still have an impact on your physical health, whether you deny it or not. Natural law is not contingent on belief systems and neither is karma.

          If they don’t outlaw their use or no one is pushing you because you pissed them off, or if you don’t accept an invitation from a guy named Cliff stating, ” Drop over sometime and I’ll kill you ! LMAO

        But our understanding of where we are wrong in our belief about karma and natural law is. Otherwise, homosexuality would still be perceived as “unnatural.” And what if you don’t think about an action before you implement it. Literally, I can imagine any number of scenarios where a person’s mood can change on a dime and they just reach out and strike someone. You might think you are certain of your words, but you’re most likely not.

      i ve thought about the string theory implications myself. So if I don’t get something I really wanted – I can remind myself in another universe I got what I wanted and be at peace here in this universe :) . Unfortunately with that concept goes all the things that we avoid in one life has managed to occur in another. since all possibilities have occurred.

    “A person only suffers if they have created the conditions for suffering.”
    This is only true if the one who created those conditions believe that it’s bad or it carries an “energy of suffering”.
    This article needs a deeper understanding of how “energy flows” or “law of attraction”

  5. Hata H. Zappa

    I just can’t even with the video clip. If we were actually looked at karma from a scientific point of view, and then took into account, for example, that one of the ways a person might re-create the cycle of “karma” for their offspring will come through decisions they make based on sub-conscious guilt, say because they take up drinking too much or using street drugs, thus legitimately creating the conditions for genetic transmutations to be passed on in their children. But to talk about these things just in spiritual terms is such a short-sighted way of looking at it and a disservice to everybody it comes across.

    What this article does not talk about is how karma is created through the way we talk, the way we act and the way we think. Thinking is about the mind, and as such one must know how to create good karma and purify the bad. The mind is affected by our ego which must be destroyed in order to know how to create a great world around us. One must overcome the delusions which affect the mind by doing the right prayers and meditations. Thus one must not only find a proper teacher, but must engage in the right conduct to meet him. More depth needed here in this article.
