I am a firm beliver on Karma. The way we act will result in same consequences. According to the concept of karma, bad karma leads to a downfall by creating negative consequences in a person's life. It means that harmful actions or activities which are not acceptable in society, or bad things we commit will eventually result in negative experiences or setbacks, impacting our well-being, relationships, and overall success. Such acts often manifesting as challenges or difficulties in the present or future life depending on the belief system involved. We were always told that bad acts alwsys leads to unfavourable results. And rightly so the ancient Sanskrit has following verses to explain :
अनुचितकर्मारम्भः स्वजनविरोधो बलीयसां स्पर्धा|
प्रमदाजनविश्वासो मृत्योर्द्वाराणि चत्वारि||
Anuchitakarmaara mbhah svajanvirodho baleeyasaam spardhaa.
Pramadaajanavishvaaso Mrutyordvaaraani chatvaari,
Anuchitakarmaarambhah = anuchita + karma + aarambhah.
Anuchita = improper, forbidden..
Karma = work, activity.
Aarambhah = beginning.
Svajana = one's own people.
Virodho = opposition.
Baleeyasaam = mighty people.
Spardhaa = competition, rivalry.
Pramadajana = a young and wanton woman. Vishvaaso = reliance, confidence.
Mrutyordvaaraani = mrutyoh + dvaaraani.
Mrutyoh = death.
Dvaaraani = doors.
Chatvaari = these four.
Beginning a forbidden or improper activity, opposing one's own people, having rivalry with mighty and powerful people, and relying on a wanton woman, all these activities are like opening the doors leading to sure death.
Karma operates on the principle of cause and effect, where every action (good or bad) creates a reaction or consequence that will manifest later on. The idea of karma is often seen as a way to learn from mistakes and strive to improve one's actions to create positive karma in the future.
