What is karma? Karma, as a word, has been used very loosely. If you are reading this page, it’s likely that you are one amongst thousands who is truly seeking the right understanding of this misunderstood word — “Karma”.

You are possibly here to understand how our intentions, motives, desires and the emotional drive with which we conduct our actions have an effect on our lives and how they are related to the term “Karma”.

The karma meaning in Sanskrit is to perform a deed or action. It includes actions that we do, not only through our body, but also through speech and mind.

  • Some have referred to karma meaning an echo of the past and also say it creates the future.
  • Common acts like going to work, good deeds, charity, etc. also define karma in general.
  • However, Revered Dadashri, who has attained the knowledge of Self, gives a deeper insight on what is karma and explains that those acts are actually fruits of karma bound in one’s previous life. Thus, whatever you see externally in the current life are all the fruits of one’s inner intents of one’s past life.

We are our own Karmic projection:

Everything that one encounters is one’s own design; nobody else is responsible for it. For endless lives, one has been responsible, wholly and solely.

A lot of people recognize that whatever they experience is their own projection. As a result, they try to change that projection, but are unsuccessful. This is because the projection is not solely in their hands. Talks about changing the projection are correct, but does one have the independent ability to do so?

Yes, one does, however, only to a limited extent. The major portion of this control is not in your hands. Only after attaining the true knowledge of Self, does one become independent; but until then, it is not quite so.

If this is the case, then…

  • How do I use this knowledge to achieve my goals?
  • Can I purify or unwind negative imprints of Karma before they come into fruition?
  • Can I continue doing my normal activities, not bind new Karmas, and yet be able to experience the blissful state of the Self?
  • Is there an easy and practical way to liberate myself from karmic bondages from endless past lives?
