Law of cause and effect (universal law)

Karma in Hinduism means Action but I would like to use the Buddhist meaning here which means Deeds(Actions) with Intentions.....

Law of  cause and effect , an universal law  states that each action has a reaction.... Action (karma) is what we as humans  essentially  are bound to indulge into. Religious  scripts  have  time and again highlighted  the ' karma phal' i.e. Fruits of actions by countless  stories  and examples  to help humans  behave appropriately  and enable a healthy  living  environment  in  society.

Let's  focus on TODAY.... What we understand  and how the  philosophy  of karma is conveniently  changed to suit our physical  pleasures... People today  are divided clearly into  more or less two categories.... 1. Hypocrites and 2. Excessively  blunt /careless.

Each category is selfish but have a different  approach  to gain that selfish motive. Well, karma also doesn't  mean we don't  work for our own selves, infact that's  our primary  duty but while accomplishments  of primary  duties our  greed, insecurities, fears, etc takes over us and we remain engrossed in self.... This evil habit proves negative  when under the stride of self help we intentionally  harm others  and  JUSTIFY  our acts as a NO CHOICE  action.

Its while we are affected  by some  adversity in life , we sit back to think where all we committed  those acts which is showing  such reaction. I  wouldn't  want to get  into birth cycle  and past and future  births etc, which some philosophies  believe  and  some clearly don't... Neither  do we as laymen have any knowledge  about what, where, why we are here thus if ONLY, we focus  in this life  where after adulthood  we do have an independent  thought  process to guide us through, its extremely  essential  to abide by HUMANE laws which are independent  in nature and most common in any religion, community, society,etc.

I started my post with a claim  that I wish to quote  and explain  this beautiful  and most prominent  universal  law by the Buddhist  definition  of KARMA, as it defines it as ACTION WITH INTENTION.... now here people  caged with  fear do try and  perform  good acts which should surely  be appreciated  but the universal  law essentially  shows reaction  where action and intention are on same lines... We today witness  huge population  into  philanthropy, social services, etc but have very different  self prestige issues attached to  those services  and not to really HELP the downtrodden. The reason , it becomes  important  to quote  these examples  is to help people in a bit of reality-check  that the entire  noble  act goes WASTE at an individual  uplifting  level if right intentions  are missing  with a great deed....

To not stretch  it further  more, whatever  personalities  we have, we can assure a peaceful  inner self if this law is understood and  abided by nicely....

Take care...
