Understanding Karmic theory of existentialism: A quote and haiku


The spiritual glossary at the end of the booklet ‘How to Change Others’ published by the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India’ define Karma and its spiritual tenet as: “ (Karma is the) Effect of past actions, from this or previous lifetimes. The law of karma is that of action and reaction, cause and effect, sowing and reaping. By their thoughts and actions, human beings become the moulders of their own destinies. Whatever energies a person has set into motion, wisely or unwisely, must return to the person as their starting point, like a circle inexorably completely itself. An individual’s Karma follows him or her from incarnation to incarnation until fulfilled or spiritually transcended.”


Here are a few haiku to recite and reflect on to understand action-reaction cyclic trap.


HAIKU


React not to others

Bother not what others do

Their deeds will pay back

~*~

Reflect on your deeds

Do unto others that’s good

In end, good’ll return

~*~

To be a good doer

Act to purify yourself

Remove vices, weak points

~*~

Reaction ‘s worst karma

React not to break the cycle

Break free , liberate.
