12 Laws of Karma

The Great Law

It is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect. It means whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us. So, if you want happiness, peace, love, and friendship, then you must be happy, peaceful, loving, and a true friend.

The Law of Creation

According to the Karmic Law of Creation, life doesn’t just happen. It requires our participation. We are one with the Universe. You need to surround yourself with what you want to have in your life and be yourself.

The Law of Humility

You need to accept the true reality of something in order to change it.

The Law of Growth

If you want to grow spiritually, you need to expect a change of yourself before you expect it of the world around you. You only have control over yourself. When we change who and what we are within our hearts, our lives follow suit and change too. So, remember the famous saying “Wherever you go, there you are".

The Law of Responsibility

You are the source of what happens throughout your journey. We mirror what surrounds us and what surrounds us mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth. So, we must take responsibility for what is in our life.

The Law of Connection

Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on. We must do the initial work to get a job done. However, each small step can have unexpectedly powerful effects. Past, Present, and Future are all connected.

The Law of Focus

You can not think of two things at the same time. Because of this, when our focus is on Spiritual Values, it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as greed or anger.

The Law of Giving and Hospitality

If you believe something to be true,then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth. It suggests and encourages the importance of ensuring that your actions reflect your deeper beliefs.

The Law of Here and Now

Looking backward to examine what was or forward to worry about the future prevents us from being totally in the here and now. You must truly live in the present moment.

The Law of Change

History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path. We should demonstrate that we’ve learned what we need to in order to create a different future.

The Law of Patience and Reward

All of your greatest successes require consistent hard work. You need to be patient, regardless of your goals in life. True joy comes from doing what we’re suppose to be doing, and knowing that the reward will come in its own time.

The Law of Significance and Inspiration

Every contribution you make will influence the Whole, however small or great that contribution may be. You get back from something whatever you have put into it. Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire, the Whole.
