❓ Is karma simply ‘what goes around comes around’?

The concept of karma is far more nuanced than simple retribution. According to the Bhagavad Gita (4.17), karma refers to the complex web of actions, reactions, and intentions that shape our spiritual journey.

Karma operates on three levels as explained in ancient texts:

  • Sanchita Karma: Accumulated karma from past lives
  • Prarabdha Karma: Portion being experienced in current life
  • Agami Karma: New karma being created

The law of karma emphasizes personal responsibility and growth rather than punishment. It's a sophisticated spiritual principle that accounts for intention, circumstance, and dharmic duty.
