What are the benefits of reading these karma quotes?

In Hinduism and Buddhism, karma is the sum of one’s actions in their existence’s current and past states, believed to decide their future destinies.

Karma is just like the popular saying and the song Karma by Alicia Keys, “What goes around comes around.”

Simply put, what we do and put out into the world will eventually return to us, whether good or bad.

The idea of karma is thousands of years old and is comparable to the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

In a nutshell, treat others the way you want to be treated—with:

• Love
• Compassion
• Respect

Karma can be such a powerful and important concept to live by, as it acts like a moral compass, keeping us on the right path.

And that if we commit our lives to doing good, the universe, God, or some higher power will reward us.

These karma quotes will make you ponder your choices and the weight of your karmic scales.
