“A man
is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and the bad
consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme
abode.’ – Chanakya.
Karma – that which causes the entire cycle of cause and
effect.
This is a shloka from The Bhagwat Geeta –
“Karmanyevadi
Karaste Maphaleshu Kadhachana
Ma
Karmaphalahetur Bhoorma Matesangatswa Karmani”
Meaning – You have the right to perform your prescribed
duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself
the cause of the result of your activities and never be attached to not doing
your duty.
For many this may be debatable...but, simply put – As you
sow, so shall you reap. Life is like a wheel – what goes round comes round and
nothing is permanent. We have to practice ‘detachment’ and learn to let go.
This is easier said than done. That’s why ...practice.
Just do your Karma..:)

Indeed affirmative thoughts to start the morning. We shall belive in actions as they are managed by God.

DeleteHello Janu. How are you today?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger, my mom always used to instill in us these same words...practice what you preach, what goes around comes around & you reap what you sow. How true those words are today. Thanks for sharing.

Am good Andy...thanks for sharing your thoughts.
DeleteI have always been taught to treat others how I would want them to treat me. I live by 'what comes around, goes around'. We all need to work our Karma ☺ The world would be a much better place, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteYes ofcourse. Thanks Mary.
DeleteLove this reflection on Karma. Detachment is not easily achieved, but it is necessary if we are to truly live our lives freely and meaningfully. And, yes, we DO reap what we sow.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Janaki!
This is a great post on karma...I really enjoyed the Bhagavad Gita, so many great jewels there!
