Action and Reaction
and
Purpose of the Law of Karma
One of the famous laws of motion enunciated by the
famous English scientist Sir Isaac Newton states: "For every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction." In fact, this is a universal
law and so every word, thought or deed determines a reaction. Past actions
are causes that determine other actions, triggered reactions, in exact
accordance with the charge of the corresponding past actions. There is
no such thing as action without effects or results. We ourselves create
our future destinies by our own choices each second of our lifes.
We cannot attain liberation if we do not incarnate, so it is absolutely necessary to take birth in order to completely extinguish our bad karma.
The law of karma is actually a law of harmony and equilibrium. It adjusts wisely, and equitably each effect to its cause. It is also the law of opportunity, which allows an individual to meditate and reflect before acting once again in a wrong way and to build a better future by performing good karma -positive deeds, words and thoughts.
