❓ How does karma work according to Hindu philosophy?

Karma is the universal law of cause and effect operating at physical, mental, and spiritual levels. The Mahabharata explains karma as a cosmic accounting system where every action generates corresponding reactions.

There are three types of karma:

  • Sanchita: Accumulated karma from past lives
  • Prarabdha: Portion of karma being experienced now
  • Agami: New karma being created

Modern psychology parallels this in behavioral conditioning and consequence awareness. Karma encourages ethical living and personal responsibility while explaining life's apparent inequalities through the lens of multiple lifetimes.
