There are many interesting and deep concepts concerning Karma, which are introduced throughout the book, and it might be overwhelming but if I had to observe a recurring theme throughout the book, which even the author admits to, openly, is the Karma Paradox - one who bases his every activity to shed his karma, is the one who ends up accumulating it more. It's something like living your life walking the rope of total involvement and abandonment all at once. It seems counter-intuitive at first if you're reading this. But the way this book puts it, it suddenly becomes clear, that if you're totally involved with the process, somewhere in the belly of the process, you've already distanced yourself from the outcome, and therefore your abandon is a natural outcome of your total involvement at the moment. Though Content is enlightening and profound, You might get jaded to read if you have read Sadhguru's previous book because all these topics are explored in a separate chapter of the previous books. Sadhguru totally shatters the myth that karma is destiny and so many other myths that have gathered around this word. He methodically, and painstakingly explains in detail how karma actually works and how it can be a source of our empowerment. He anticipates, counters and answers our unasked questions through out the book, including specific questions in the latter part of the book. He speaks from a certain knowing, and his piercing logic and clarity is apparent in the precise, and sometimes brutal, honesty with which he discusses the topic. This book can be looked at as a treatise on Karma. It explores the topic intellectually and in great detail, for example, defining and classifying the different types of karma. At the same time, it is a practical guide that can be used to live one’s life consciously and joyfully. In the second part of the book, he gives specific methods and tools how one can do this and move towards liberation.

However it does not matter what volumes of karma you have; the moment you start stepping into the subtler dimensions of etheric and bliss bodies, your karma cannot touch you. The law of cause and effect can operate only on the physical, mental and energy levels… The moment you begin to taste the divine… your karma has no hold over you.”

A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior.

The book aims to completely upend the conventional misinterpretation of the term Karma, and succeeds brilliantly by providing utmost clarity about what it really is! What becomes clear through the entirety of this wonderfully crafted manual is that Karma is the most dynamic way to exist, and brings to fore our own limitations in dealing with it head on. Karma is an elaborate and sophisticated mechanism, but we simply don’t have a grip on it, primarily because we haven’t taken charge of our life and faculties!

Someone who lives according to the solar cycle leads a life of great health, well-being, alignment and minimal friction.” So, what can we do to change it with the small hands, head, and heart that we have? That is the essence of why I was first moved by Sadhguru. Working together, we might be able to help the world change course. If one does not consciously rewrite one’s karmic software, the regularity of the pattern can feel like it is being imposed from without, rather than initiated from within. But this software is not a fate to be endured. It can be rewritten, dropped, or distanced…” If you touch the firmament of your mind just once, the resulting ripples are enough to keep going for lifetimes.”
