The good news is, you can add to your good karma by helping others whenever you can…
What is Karma? We might have come across this term so many times in our lives. Also, we might have heard different complex theories about karma on different occasions. And no matter what the theory is, the underlying conclusion states that whatever life we are living is all because of our past karmas. Good karmas give us a life full of peace and prosperity while evil karmas lead us to a life full of struggles, worries and stress. So, the bottom line is that 'As you sow so you shall reap'. This fact is crystal clear and there are no doubts about it. But the bewilderment is in the concept of in what way – how do we get our share of karma? Mythology does state that God writes our destiny. So, does it mean that this life is like a furnished apartment scheme where along with the flat, we get predefined furniture from the builder? As per this interpretation, God created a life for us and attached a predefined package of karma along with it. This is not true. God does write our destiny; however, He gave us the privilege, the opportunity to create our own karma. The evaluation of our karmas would shape our destiny. I believe this is where the significance of the word 'Tathastu' -So be it - lies.
