KARMA

According to the podcast about karma, in the eastern philosophy it is a religious concept of action or deed, which affects the entire life cycle of cause and effect.

 I used to think that karma is similar to fate. However, further in the podcast I learned that these are two different concepts. Karma is not fate, for humans act with free will, creating their own destiny. In eastern philosophy, they say, ''If one sows goodness, he will reap goodness; if one sows evil, he will reap evil''. I think, this can be interpreted in the following way; if a person does good things his karma will be positive. They say, '' Karma is going to bite you some day'', which means that sooner or later a person will have to pay for the evil actions in his past life.

In Hinduism, karma is usually considered to be a negative thing. However, one can get a positive karma. This is possible, if the person performs all the duties of his social status (cast). If he does this, in the next life he will get a higher social status. In Hinduaism, karma clings to the soul and undergoes transmutations. Your soul goes from body to body until it reaches its ultimate salvation. Karma is a universal law, independent of God or gods. No god can master one's karma. And an interesting thing I'd like to mention here is that even Gods are subjected to Karma.

In hinduism there are three types of karma: Prorabda, which are the experiences during a person's life, Sensida, which is a store of karma, which will come in future life, and Agmen, your actions which are going to be added to your store.
