Although karma means action, it does not necessarily refer to physical deeds… karma is action on three levels: body, mind, and energy.” What Sadhguru does in this book is break apart our rudimentary ideas on Karma to instead show us the deep mechanics of his this residue of all our past volition drives so much of our lives. And moreover, he gives us an intellectual foundation upon which to understand how to use this unavoidable existential mechanism to our favor. He explains the science, and then begins to point the way towards the technology that can transform karma from a source of bondage to a means for a divine existence. Sadhguru has been a part of my life since late 2017 when I took his InnerEngineering course and learned Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya. Since then I've learned several other practices offered by him through the Isha Foundation, and I am truly truly grateful for how profoundly they've changed my life.

For most of us, karma is what we want it to be. It's the amorphous benevolent force that rewards us for our charity and punishes us for our crimes. We believe that it is a system that gives us what we deserve, whatever we deserve, based on how good or bad of a person we've been. While this idea may bring a certain kind of solace, it's clear to most that it isn't a true reflection of how life works. "Bad" things happen to "good" people, and vice versa. If karma as we know it exists, then how can we explain the fact that our world is rife with injustices? 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…”

Karma

In Karma, Sadhguru brilliantly demystifies the concept of karma and how we can harness our perceptions to change our own futures and, in doing so, create a more sustainable, just, and spiritually enlightened world. If you want to be the change you want to see in the world, read Karmaand begin the journey.” -Terry Tamminen, Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger 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. In his own inimitable style, Sadhguru intersperses the discussion on Karma with deeply insightful and witty stories which drive the point home beautifully. Reading Sadhguru’s book Karma was a profound experience. It gave me glimpses of the agnostic and the inexplicable, and eventually gave them meaning and context.

In many ways, I felt this is a book about how life works and how we can use the process of life to create our destiny.Received this copy on Apr 27th, Content in the book try to debunk the myth and distortion corrupting the meaning of "Karma". Once you reach the ending of the book, Your discretion theory of Karma will take a turn towards personal responsibility. The book is divided into three segments Firstly, it reveals the fallacy in our understanding of Karma and offers an authentic meaning.

Lastly, books end with a question and answers related to Karma. The moment you view everyone with love, your intention is automatically inclusive. Regardless of what blunders you commit in the name of love, the karsti not accumulate beyond a point. Your intention makes all the difference. If you say something prompted by love, and another person gets hurt, that is his karma, not yours. But if you say something out of hatred and another person has no problem with it, it is good karma for them and not for you! In the fall of 2017, Sadhguru initiated Rally For Rivers, a nationwide campaign aiming to implement sustainable and long-term policy changes to revitalize India's severely depleted rivers, which found great support among Indi Surprisingly, this book has been a "hide under the covers with a flashlight and hope the parents don't catch you" type of read. I really found it that engrossing.

This book can be viewed as a treatise on karma. It examines the subject intellectually and in great detail, e.g. B. to define and classify different types of karma. integrate It is also a practical guide that can be used to live your life consciously and with joy. In the second part of the book he describes specific philosophies and tools for doing this and approaching salvation. How did we get to where we are now in life? Where is it going next? Why does the groupthink of society seem to be going in the wrong direction? All of the answers are in this karmic library of experiences, memory, and potential futures. 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. Your five senses are collecting data from the outside world every moment of your life. You are literally being bombarded with stimuli at every instant. Over time, this enormous volume of sense impressions begins to assume a certain distinctive pattern within you. This pattern slowly shapes itself into behavioral tendencies. A cluster of tendencies hardens over time into what you call your personality, or what you claim to be your true nature… This becomes your karma - an orientation to life that you have created for yourself in relative unawareness.” What is karma? Most people think of karma as a balance of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that dictates that we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. In fact, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your work, your responsibility. It is not an external system of crime and punishment, but an inner circle created by you. The accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you react to what is happening to you. Over time, it is possible to become trapped in one’s own unconscious patterns of behavior.In many ways I thought it was a book about how life works and how we can use the process of life to create our destiny. In the book, Sadhguru describes karma as a vast library of past, present and future events – a place where he often goes to find answers to life’s most complex questions. As the karmic volume increases in volume, the discerning mind becomes almost useless, because you now work largely by habits, patterns and cycles.”
