Understanding-KARMA

Karma literally means “action”. Action always comes with the consequence of the action. The law of karma is the law of action and reaction, illustrated by the well known saying “what we reap is what we sow”, and also the law of retribution, which explains that “what we receive is the result of what we did in the past”. Nothing is by accident, merit, demerit, honor, or dishonor; any happening in our lives is the result of karma.
