Karma Quotes

According to a famous definition of Karma, it is a 'sum of person's actions in one of his successive states of existence, viewed as deciding his fate for the next'. It is one of the core concepts of religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. The doctrine of karma dwells on the Newtonian principle that every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. With our every thought or action, we create a cause, which in the longer run will produce corresponding effects. This never-ending cycle of cause and effects spawns the theory of birth and reincarnation. It is the positive and negative deeds and thoughts of a person that tots up as his karma.

Karma has somewhat lost its traditional meaning for the masses and is used to signify luck, destiny, and fate. According to an article from a journal titled 'The Philosophy East and West', Karma does not always depend on good deeds. This article stated that karma is always backed by morality and a good action for fulfilling some intentions cannot be considered a good deed. I believe that karma can bring a level of discipline in people where they would not harm other living beings and thus would lead to a peaceful world. For deeper insight into this, trail down the following famous Hinduism quotations and sayings.
