Reading “Karma” was a profound journey of realizing just how little I actually understood about karma. As I came to terms with all the falsehoods I’ve held about this term, I began to understand that karma offers the possibility of living in a conscious and inclusive manner. 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. Everyone will enjoy the book as well written, easily understood (at least on gross level) and comes handy with nice exercises (Sadhna) one can try and experiment by themselves.

Karma

And having been through it a couple of times, I feel more optimistic about being able to "handle my karma," i.e. life. About enjoying life in general. And I feel a renewed willingness to do my part to handle the problems of others. For, as one of Sadhguru's aphorisms for beginning yogis says (my paraphrase): All rules are my rules. I understand that in a more profound way after reading this book. As the karmic volume increases in volume, the discerning mind becomes almost useless, because you now work largely by habits, patterns and cycles.” 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.

The author and narrator, a self proclaimed Guru, Sadhguru sets forth a bunch of topics that he attempts to answer. It started off in a rather compelling way, littered with amusing parables. As time wore on though, I found the evasive speech, contradictions and self promotion disturbing. Any spiritual teacher of note, that I have met, has been extraordinarily clear. Although karma means action, it does not necessarily refer to physical deeds… karma is action on three levels: body, mind, and energy.” Even when one is not doing anything in particular, one’s body, mind, emotions and energy are all in action. These four actions of Karma are happening every moment of one’s life - in wakefulness and in sleep. The real question is how much of it has been conducted consciously, and how much is purely accidental? The unconscious mind is therefore a tremendous library of karmic memory. You will find this information very useful if you were approaching it consciously.” The solar cycle is a period of 4356 days (nearly 12 years). Someone who lives according to the solar cycle leads a life of great health, well-being, alignment and minimal friction.”

The author’s ultimate goal is to take us on a journey of self-discovery of “freedom and discovery.”“He says he has no interest in giving spiritual advice. … what I offer is a path, a living process” 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

Operate] out of a state of inner fulfillment rather than inner hankering. Once this is accomplished your life becomes an expression of bliss, not a pursuit of it.” Sadhguru has explained in “Karma” how we are creating new additions for the karmic library, and how we can gain more control over the direction our lives are taking. It becomes clear when reading this book why Sadhguru stresses responsibility and awareness in Inner Engineering, and the inevitability of the moment – because of each of us are creating our lives using a karmic pattern that everyone who has ever lived on this planet has contributed to. So karma is not some external system of crime and punishment. It is an internal cycle generated by you.” When impossible to avoid circumstances, places, and people of bad Karma, prepare adequately to face the situation and cleanse thoroughly after the interaction.

More By The Author

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. 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?
