Myth about 'KARMA,
?
The Common Claim
"Karma is a cosmic system of revenge ("what goes around comes around") or a rigid destiny that means everything is fatalistically predetermined."
✓
The Actual Truth
The Reality
In Sanskrit, KARMA literally means 'Action'. It is simply the universal law of cause and effect. As per Hinduism, every Action, Thought or Intent generates a corresponding energy reaction.
Far from being fatalistic, the law of KARMA places absolute accountability on the individual. It suggests that while your past actions have shaped your current tendencies and circumstances, your current actions and choices (free will), actively create your future.
It is a Philosophy of self responsiblity, not passive resignation to fate.
