Everything you wanted to know, but you had no one to ask.
What is Karma? In Sanskrit, this word means action. In the West, the law of Karma is equivalent to Newton's law: "The force of action is equal to the force of reaction."
When we think, speak, or act, we use our own willpower to do so. And although we may not be aware of it, any action somehow makes us suffer.
This suffering, as you understand, cannot be avoided. But here's how to minimize it, how to preserve the ability to enjoy life - this is what the laws of Karma tell about.
Here are 12 of the most interesting ones:
1. The Great Law
- "What goes around comes around". Also known as the Law of Cause and Effect.

- If we want to achieve happiness, peace, love and friendship, then we ourselves must bring happiness, peace, love to others and be a true friend.
- Whatever we have created in the Universe, it will always return it to us.
2. The Law of Creation
- Life is not just that. It requires our participation and our efforts.
- We are part of a single organism of the Universe. Our essence has not only an external side, but also an internal one.
- The key to the “correct” inner state is independence from the surrounding world.
- Be yourself and surround yourself with those people and those things that you really love. And deliberately want them to be in your life.
3. The Law of Humility
- You cannot change the situation until you first accept it.
- If we have enemies, and our loved ones have traits or habits that we hate, then the best thing we can do is to focus on something else. Think of your friends rather than enemies more often. And not that your husband swears, but that you love him for his cheerfulness.
4. The law of growth
- The road is more important than the destination.
- The main thing for you is for you to change and grow, and not people, cities or technologies around you.
- Our life and the time allotted to us is all that we really have.
- If we change something in ourselves and our hearts, our life will change in the same way.
5. Law of responsibility
- Whenever something goes wrong in my life, the reason lies in me.
- We are a mirror of what surrounds us. And what surrounds us is our mirror. This is a universal truth.
6. The law of universal interconnection
- Even when we do what seems insignificant to us, it is very important. Because all things and phenomena in the Universe are interconnected.
- Each step provokes the next. This is how habits are formed.
- For the work to be done, someone has to start it.
- Your steps in the past are irrelevant and not worthy of analysis. You acted as needed, based on the data that you had at that time.
- The past, present and future are always linked. You can't just take and start everything "from scratch".
7. Law of Focus
- You cannot think of two things at the same time.
- If the thoughts in your head are focused on the search for something important or spiritual values, there is no room for greed or anger in it.
8. Law of Giving and Hospitality
- If you think something is true, then you should be ready to demonstrate it on your own experience. If you are not ready, it means that you only have an opinion, not knowledge.
- We only know what we have learned in practice.
9. The law "Here and now"
- Analysis of the past and plans for the future distract you from what is happening right here and now.
- Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior and old dreams prevent you from finding something new.
10. Law of Change
- History will repeat itself until you learn lessons from it that will force you to change your path.
- It is foolish to do the same thing every time and expect different results.
11. The Law of Patience and Reward
- Any reward requires an investment of labor.
- Only those awards that require constant work have lasting value.
- The true joy of life is to do what you have to do and to know that sooner or later you will achieve your goal.
12. Law of Inspiration
- You will only receive what you deserve.
- The true value of something is equal to the energy and strength that you put into it.
- Any contribution to one's own well-being is a contribution to general well-being.
- Only the one who loves to give is able to receive something inspiring.
