I know tht there is a good karma and a bad karma but honestly, i dont believe in that becasue i know only God knows who will be punished as a lesson for each and everyone of us. Also, God blesses us. It is actually bessings or lessons this is what i know. For me there is no such thing as karma... =)

Basically I don't believe in the things like good things or bad things. And I don't believe in the sins that God accounts either. Good and bad doesn't exist. It is the human interpretation only. Good and bad are always relative that depends on the perceptions from the various sides. The things that are good to me cannot necessarily be good to you. For example in a fight between two person, if looked from the both sides, both of them may be right and both of them can be wrong too depending upon how you take it. For me the law of karma makes the lot of sense in comparison to the God's blessing. The law of karma itself doesn't understand good and bad. It is just the natural law. It just knows to bring the things to you depending on how you are. The simple example is that if you don't read in the examination there is more possibility that you fail the exam. Now it doesn't know good or bad, it just brought you the result depending on your action.

The future is the function of the present and the past actions. Everything that happens in the future is the result of the things that happen now and in the past depending upon how you had acted, how you had thought. The first step is that you thing, and then get into action. And the future is the product of these things. This is the basic meaning of Karma. So the future is the result of the present state and every past states. Nothing in this universe just happens randomly...

PUNISHING?????? You do not understand. The matrix is that everything you do in life comes back to you in time. There is plenty of timeEternity. This is not to punish anyone. This merely shows you just what you give the world. It's educational. In time we learn that the only thing worth giving is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!! God is very very smart. To come close to understanding, we are all going to have to raise our level of thinking.

i dont believe in that becasue i know only God knows who will be punished as a lesson for each and everyone of us. Its basically the same thing just named differently...the concept is the same though on a basic level....Just like for example, Christians "pray" but in other religions etc ppl "meditate" or do "spellwork" etc..the energy of it is the same the base of it and desire is the same..just worded differently... I personally DO believe in Karma..what you put out be it action, words or thought is what you will get in return...I've seen it in action not only in my life but in the lives of ppl around me too...

My good friend Sanjana has put it correctly, you do bad you collect negative points and you do good you collect positive points. Once only when there is positive points and no negative points, you go direct to heaven and there is no more reincarnation for you. As a Hindu I very much believe in Karma.

If karma simply means you get what you did to others...or whatever you did to others comes back to you then i believe in it. I don't want to do to others what i don't want to be done to myself as far as the negativity of it is concerned. Now when i do good things to others and then bad things happens to me that's when i cuss the world big time. Life is so not fair sometimes...what can we do? that's just the way it is and i guess they just made a word for it. I guess sometimes i do believe in karma and sometimes i don't. lol

Karma is what we've done and/or what we've given to others. Those all will be given back to us because God Knows all and everything what we've done. So, what if to be a kind person...!!!

hi sendo KARMA .. is a "point" system - it is not good or bad It is you who do Good or do Bad You do bad, you collect negative points You do good, you collect positive points God will then review and evaluate the points Basically Karma is only a "word" that is mentioned in Hindu religious scriptures, of course for Hindus there is a much "deeper" meaning to it, because we believe in reincarnation .... Good pointers determines better life in our next life while bad pointers will be bestowed a life full of challeges cheers

"Karma" is a more complex way of considering the nature of one's actions. I don't believe in Karma, nor do I believe in any sort of god. The simple fact for me is that if you are doing bad things (as far as society views things), then it will likely catch up with you negatively. If you kill someone (this is an extreme scenerio), you will probably be caught and jailed (if not executed). Likewise, if you do good actions (such as volunteer) you may become revered by this same society. The general idea is right, it just doesn't need explaining. Religion tends to dress up natural aspects of life and put a pretty bow on top of the box. That is what karma is, as far as I am concerned. Nature explained in more complex terms with a word that offends some, and lures others.
