Karma isn’t solely a Hindu or Buddhist belief. In the broader sense, it refers to the cause and effect of a person’s actions. “You reap what you sow.” “For every action, there is an equal, opposite reaction.” Karma isn’t a belief; it’s an impersonal universal law, much like gravity. So then is it possible to cheat karma, to not have to live it out?
In this episode we discuss:
Is karma equal to punishment?
How karma isn’t necessarily “An eye for an eye.”
Why karma is about learning, not about judgment.
Why trying to figure out, “What did I do to deserve this?” isn’t helpful and what to ask yourself instead.
Is karma a life sentence?
Is clearing our karma ever dependent on other people’s actions?
How to clear karma without living it.
