Nowadays, karma has evolved from its spiritual meaning e. it became a way of explaining luck and bad luck in everyday life.
Many people blame fate for bad things that. they happen in your life and call the streak of bad luck Karma.
But many of those times, people forget that it's responsibility. of each one guiding their own life. But one thing is certain: each one chooses how. react to what happens.

Each time this happened, the fate of all people who. loved changed drastically, expressing the idea that every action has one. different consequence, like the concept of Kharma.
The concept of action and reaction around karma is a. representation of “punishment”, but fortunately there is increasing awareness about. its true meaning. According to the quality of this action – quality with the. sense of characteristic or attribute – such will be the reaction it provokes.
It is interesting to note that the “here it is done here it is paid for” has. deeper meanings than mere past-life results. O. The concept encompasses an essential truth: that every action results in a reaction. the height.
For example, if a person acts disrespectfully e. selfish with others, she only thinks about herself and does not help others, the consequence. will it be that the day she needs it, she won't have someone to extend her. hand. Action and reaction.
As explained by the website Green Me (I'll do the earth well), this is the simplified definition of Karma and Dharma:
“Evil is ignorance, and. Good is wisdom” (Henrique José de Souza), means that evil is and comes from. ignorance, that is, of Man's ignorance of cosmic laws. and in relation to itself. Without the slightest knowledge of these laws. Universals manifest themselves and are reflected in his life, Man will have to fall and. get up many times, until you acquire wisdom, that precious Good that results. of all your experiences and is the fruit of your own effort.
If you follow the. dharma, you will have good karma. Thus can be summarized the ancient wisdom e. doctrine taught in the Upanishads, one of the oldest religious texts e. Indian philosophical.
But what is this. means? Karma is a term derived from the Sanskrit karman, which can be. translated as “creating something by acting”; in practice, the part not necessarily. visible of our actions create our destiny. “Dharma” is also one. Sanskrit word meaning “moral obligation, truth”, “how things are” or “how things should be”.
