The law of karma can be described as the biblical proverb: 'As you sow, so shall you reap'. Every action (cause) has its reaction (effect). At a spiritual level is a similar law, the law of karma.

Karma means 'work' or 'acting' in Sanskrit. All the energy we spread has a retroactive effect to restore the balance. It also concerns thoughts, for thoughts are energies. Karma is also known as the Law of Mercy. Karma is no punishment, but a way to be aware of the fact that what we do to others, returns to ourselves and in reverse order.

The law of karma means that what we have done in one life influences the next life. This cosmic law is also known as the law of Cause and Effect.

Karma is aimed at our growth in insight, consciousness and love. At every difficult or special experience you have to ask yourself the question: 'What can I learn from this experience?' Karma should always be applied to yourself and not to an other person, it's a matter of learning from our experiences. At all times we bear responsibility for our present lives, but also beyond the border of our lives. It is all about the present.

What happens to us in life usually emanates from what we did in former lives. We are responsible ourselves. We chose for this ourselves, when we, together with our spiritual guides, drew up our plan of life.

A Correct insight in the process of karma means that we should never judge and we should never say: "It's just your karma." We are never asked to judge, only to sympathize. It's important what you can learn from a situation yourself.

It sounds illogical that all special situations in a human life, the good and the bad ones, are a result of karma. Sometimes, our guides makes us acquire the necessary experience to get ahead on our path of life. Another cause of bad things can be that we just don't pay enough attention or we are just careless.
