Synopsis

Excerpt from Exposition of the Doctrine of Karma

The root meaning of the word Karma is Action, and as every action contains inherently its coming effect, we thus get at its second meaning, and it is in this sense that the word is most frequently used, and so we frame a general working Definition of Karma, viz.: It is the Law of Cause and Effect, absolutely inviolable in the mental, moral, and material worlds. Beingso, it is infallibly the means by which we reap as we sow, so that no good deed can escape its reward, and no evil deed its fit penalty. By this Law our present character and development are the exact products of our past evolu~ tion from an embryonic and potential state through numerous and varied states and experiences. It follows, therefore, that our future 15 in our own hands now to make or mar. This is a great fact to be cognisant oi, and a mere knowledge of this Law is sufficient to change our view of Life and Evolution. There is no escape from the Law, and its measurements are always just, and for our welfare. Our present life is a strange.
