 K a r m a How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. The word "Karma", is a word everyone knows, but what does it actually mean? Karma is simply something that exists within us, which moves us all and is made up of events that have happened, or will happen to us. How can things that happened to us make Karma? Here it is important to understand that anything we did is effectively saved in our consciousness and reappears. We save everything we do in our consciousness; this is the fundamental point to keep in mind when considering Karma. This consciousness works as a spirit and when the spirit comes to the time of death it detaches itself becoming independent and separates from the body. When this consciousness which was in the spirit disappears, it will be reborn again. Just because consciousness has disappeared, does not mean things that happened in the past will disappear altogether. When consciousness disappears, everything that happened to us will remain latent and reappear; these things that are latent in all of us will continuously cause a reaction and influence our life and being. Understanding Karma Karma is always there and influences our lives - This is the essence of Karma. To understand Karma fully, we need to understand the concept of reincarnation. Reincarnation simply means that everything is repeated. Something which exists continuously therefore leads to repetition. Past, present and future are therefore interwoven. Our lives are influenced by this law and every creature on the earth is born and then dies and is reborn. If we were born into the world and we die we don't disappear we continue to exist and effectively reappear, something is saved in our consciousness that does not disappear but continuously remains. Therefore, what happened to you in present your past life will influence your future life. This is referred to as the Law of Cause and Effect. Karma will exist in you by cause and effect. As long as this Karma exists a person will never be free from the control of Karma and its influence. Karma is not a fate, we all act with free will and create his own destiny. According to the Hinduism, if we sow good in our lives we will reap good; if we sow evil we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions in our present and previous lives and these actions effectivley determine our future. The conquest of karma relies on intelligent action and dispassionate reaction. Not all karmas rebounds straight away against individuals, some accumulate and return unexpectedly in our present, or future lives. Karma is considered entirely impersonal and should not be seen as a punishment or retribution, but an extended expression of natural acts.
