Famous Quotes and Sayings About Karma
I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good.
--- Sandra Bullock
The philosophy of karma mentioned in various religious books can be summarized by Newton's third law of motion - 'To every action, there shall always be an equal and opposite reaction'. If we extend this law beyond physics and apply it to our everyday life, it means that we have to face the repercussions of our deeds, good or bad. The actions that we execute everyday will either bring happiness or sufferings in our life. Any wrongdoings will eventually turn around and cause us grief. Whereas, good deeds such as helping someone in need will leave you content and instill joy, happiness, and personal growth. To put it simply, we cannot escape from the consequences of our actions. This is the karmic law of the universe, and everyone is bound to it.
