Translated from Sanskrit, karma means "done." This is one of the main concepts in Indian philosophy and religion, the natural law of justice, which can be described with the proverb "What goes around comes around." According to him, everything that happens to a person is determined by causal relationships: righteous or sinful behavior affects the fate of the person, causing in the future to experience suffering or pleasure.

In Indian philosophy, karma is the result of the fate of all previous incarnations of man. If in past lives many sins were committed, then in a new birth it makes you suffer in order to cleanse the soul of their severity. For the very first time, every creature, according to the Indian faith, appears with pure karma in order to learn wisdom. But often, instead, it is surrendered to delusions and pleasures, which next time will lead to suffering, anxiety and trials. Their goal is to make a person change their mind. This happens until the soul goes through the right amount of suffering in order to realize the principles of a righteous existence.

Karma often causes the repetition of certain situations with a person, forcing him to go through the same trials so that he learns from them a lesson. For example, a pugnacious person constantly gets into fights, even when at first glance he wants to live peacefully. To get rid of this, he needs to change himself.

In Indian philosophy, the master of life is not the highest power, but the soul itself. A person builds his destiny with the help of three directions: actions, thinking and feelings. For example, if you think about good, then the power of thought spreads around, causes good deeds and pleasant feelings. Evil thoughts not only make one feel negative feelings, but also overload karma and entail suffering in the future.

Four types of karma are distinguished: sankita, prarabdha, kriyaman, agama. The first is the sum of all other types of karma, all committed acts. Prarabdha is part of the sancita that will be experienced by the being in its present incarnation. Immediately no one can experience all karma in one life - only part ripens for action. The third kind - kriyaman - is the current action of a person. Unlike the two previous ones, which have already taken shape and cannot be canceled, this karma gives you the opportunity to build and choose your destiny. And the last - agama - these are actions that will be performed in the future. Man's plans and thoughts also work for karma.
