Karma is something difficult to describe. Often it is claimed that it is the sum of all actions, intentions and thoughts that a person commits and has. But it also includes the consequences they lead to, the effect that they have.
Karma is the mechanism by which the universe maintains balance. It is subject to strict laws. To be at peace with yourself and in balance with your surrounding world, follow these karmic rules:
1. The Grand Law - You reap what you sow. This is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect. To receive peace, love, friendship, you need to give love, to dedicate yourself to someone.
2. The Law of Creation - Life doesn't just happen, we need to make it. Surround yourself with the people and things you want present in your life.
3. The Law of Connection - Everything in the universe is connected to everything else and whenever we do something, no matter how inconsequential, this affects everything else. Take the first step in order to continue forward. Don't give up until you finish what you've started or that which you achieve will be pointless.
4. The Law of Here and Now - Leave the past in the past and don't waste the present in dreams about the future. Things happen here and now. Don't plan a trip to Paris for years - buy a ticket right now.
