Karma, a deeper reflection

Hello Friends, in this article I shall discuss about a Universal law which is operating and influencing us every moment- The Law of Karma. Most of us are aware of it but let’s reflect on it deeply here and see its application in our practical life.

What comes to our mind when we say Karma? In simple words an action, thought or any expression made in the outside world. This is Karma in layman’s language! So, the moment something from us goes out in the external world, there is a vibrational shift in the world and we receive a similar frequency return from it. In simple words this explains the Law of Karma. Karma can happen at three levels: Mind, Word and Action. At the level of mind, it is subtler and when it moves towards the action stage it becomes grosser. Now it becomes very important to remind ourselves about consciously sowing seeds of Karma in the field of our human life. This is what we need to care for.

Most of times we operate in an automatic mode of performance and that’s why we are unaware of the patterns that move out from us into the world. It may happen that when we get sorrow, pain, frustration back then we pause for a moment, contemplate and regret over our actions but then that’s like crying over spilt milk. It’s being late!  So, it's imperative to be conscious and aware of what is happening within us and how are we interacting and connecting with the world outside us. That shall govern the whole gamut of our experiences in this physical dimension of existence. Just a little bit of attention is enough!


Law of Karma can be subdivided into two smaller laws ,which shall give us a detailed understanding about it. Let’s see :

    • Law of Creation:  
Life requires participation to happen. Nothing happens on its own. For any desired result we must take appropriate action or effort. We all have heard no pain no gain! We are one with the Universe inside and outside. So, if we are unhappy with something instead of cribbing, dwelling on it , lets take an action to sort out that and create a change we desire to see. In simple words, we need to initiate and create what we want around!!


    • Law of Responsibility:
This Law means that if there is something wrong in our life, the life that we see outside us say within the family environment, then it shows that there is probably a similar pattern operating within us and we need to take responsibility to bring about a change in that. The moment we take responsibility that what I am going through somewhere I am responsible for its creation, we shall feel free and take appropriate actions to change within us at a micro level that which shall create a change at macro level. So, taking responsibility feeling that yes, it’s my responsibility to create a better me, a better world! You know we can see that from a common behaviour that distinguishes a parent from a child, a sense of responsibility. In the bigger picture we are responsible and have a hand in making the world what is it today at a large.


So, friends hope we reflect on our karma now on a serious note😊Good Karma shall always bring good results and bad karma bad results, but what is the deeper meaning of good and bad? Stay tuned, we will reflect on it in the next post. Namaste.

Meditation commentary

Hello friends, Sharing a simple guided commentary for moving inwards into a meditative state. Let’s pause and take out some time for this quiet, inward journey. You can play a soft instrumental music in the background and slowly read these words, trying to feel them deeply. Begin by sitting in a comfortable posture, and allowing your eyes to close. Put your hands on the lap and let your shoulders drop. Keep your back straight. Now, begin by taking a few slow, long, deep breaths. Breathe in fully, and breathe out fully through your nose. Allow your breath to settle into its own rhythm. Pay close attention to your breathing cycle. Notice each breath, as it enters through your nostrils, travels down your lungs, and makes your belly expand. Notice your breath flowing outside through your nostrils, contracting your belly inwards. Observe and accept your experience in this moment without judgement. Now, we shall do a gradual relaxation of our body muscles. Bring your awareness to your body. ...

People Pleasing: A trait to be understood and reflected upon

A “people pleaser” means a person who feels a strong need to please others, even at their own cost. They may feel that their wants and needs are unimportant, so they alter their personalities in order to make others happy. Often, we engage in people pleasing unconsciously or witness people around us doing that, but we often fail to comprehend the underlying causes of this tendency. Let’s analyze and understand the reasons behind it, and give it some contemplation. Some common factors behind it are:     • Low self- esteem     • A childhood trauma     • Avoidance of conflict      • Low self esteem:  People who have low self-esteem are dependent on the external validation, and approval of others to feel confident. They feel good, when others shower them with compliments. They unconsciously base their esteem on outer appreciation, and seek reinforcement of value from others. They also feel they are less worthy and deserve less in comparison ...
