How To Create Good Karma

When we desire with our heart and soul to do something noble, the Universe rushes to our aid to make it happen, says Jamuna Rangachari. In the process, we create good karma for ourselves as well as the rest of the world.

An oft-repeated shloka "Yat bhavam tad bhavati" which, when loosely translated, means "Your dominant feelings get manifested eventually, whether good or bad." Most of us are unaware of the intensity of our emotions and how they manifest into our reality, often creating unhealthy patterns in our lives. Unwittingly, we blame external circumstances for our situations, never caring to introspect about the intent and motivation behind our apparently noble acts. However, when you realise the power of setting the right intentions, you not only get motivated to take the right action, but you also get help from the Universe in the form of favourable people and circumstances.

Often, it is difficult to see positivity and set a positive intention when we are surrounded by hopelessness and negativity. But such is the power of intent that once you become determined to do something good, it manifests, helping you reap happiness and good karma. This is why we all are always advised to nurture positive thoughts right from childhood. Positive thoughts are the source of positive actions. The sooner we learn this, the earlier we will work on our thoughts and intentions. We have created a system which uses resources to produce items, consumes them, and then discards the remains, which is purely a capitalistic way of living. But changing times are compelling us to re-evaluate this production and consumption model.

There are examples galore of people who have transformed their lives as well as those of others through positive intent and action.
