*~KARMA~* by jaQui 2010/05/16 13:06

What is karma?
It seems Hindus, Buddists & Pagans believe in it. Do other religions believe in it? Who else?

And i think every one believe in karma.

Branding it as religious term is not correct. /smiley
I'm not sure what U mean, but it is really connected to religion. The very simplified religions could probably not grasp it; they all have a simple thought concept of doing good or evil and being judged by a mysterious higher being successively; religions of a higher degree of complexity (and, markedly, those are the older, and oldest, ones) include the principle of the soul's developement and progress not limited to just being born into this life and dying as a simple 'one-off'.

KARMA: is a central theme of Indian religions Hinduism, Buddhismg, Jainism, Sikhism.
* Karma means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal principle of 'cause and effect', 'action and reaction' that governs all life.
* * A good summary of this theistic view of karma is expressed by the following: "God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does He make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives you exactly what you deserve." **
* if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concomitant reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determines our future. The conquest of karma lies in intelligent action and dispassionate response.
* we produce Karma in four ways:
through thoughts,
through words,
through actions that we perform ourselves,
through actions others do under our instructions,
Everything that we have ever thought, spoken, done or caused is Karma; as is also that which we think, speak or do this very moment.

if one concerns the word "karma" only, then it simply means "work".

I.e english translation of word "karma" is "work".

and i think every body believes in work.

Any ways every one is free to assume what he or she wants. /smiley
yes u r 100% correct bro /smiley

the theological concept of KARMA and the literal meaning of KARMA are not same, literal meaning of KARMA is 'work' 'act' 'deed', but its theological concept is 'your Karma determines your rewards, as you sow same you reap.., whether or not you believe in God or any prophet, your reward; good or bad, will not change. /smiley

Quote: Ankur0464: my dear you are talking about the consequence of your karma. I didnt concern it in my post.
But if one concerns about the meanings
of "karma" then it means "deed"- both literally and religionally. Thats what my post is concerned with. /smiley
bro @jacki has clearly posted about 'concept of Karma' as understood by indian religions /smiley

Karma= every action has a REaction.
ZALAND 2010/07/07 22:41
karma means work or act ! Good or bad.....as this is faith zone i think jacki has asked about the religios concept of the word! But anyway worK means work!/smiley
PalesaO 2010/07/14 20:39
it is the law of cause and effect. every cause has an effect, every effect has its cause. what goes around comes around. every action has a reaction, you know...
Ajibola 2010/07/15 21:46
Agreed with some earlier poster, furthermore i dont think it should be drawn with religion. Maybe its a belief meaning product of reaction and actions
integrity-daolyboy 2010/07/17 00:52
Karma no believe at all
Unpretty_Marie 2010/07/18 14:16
Actually I don't believe in karma...

But often times i would say to someone "Well, that's your karma..." though i dont really mean it...

Sandra88 2010/12/14 18:21
Sir Isaac Newtons Theory teaches
"Every action has an equal & opposite reaction"
Most religions teach u wil reap wat u sow ie.
u wont get chillies if plant mealies.

in other words what goes around, comes around, and i do not associate this with religion, however i do believe that what goes around comes around.

Many claim to believe in the Karma concept but their actions speak otherwise. Personally i believe dont do onto others wat dislike for yrslf it helps keep problems away from all.

i agree with this

Quote: Laketempest: KARMA - a sanskrit word for fate or balance. Every action accrues spiritual profit or loss, and through a series of reincarnation lives, the balance must be worked out.

Agree with this.
