KARMA THEME / 4 LAWS
If you practice yoga long enough,
you eventually start asking about karma.
The word karma comes from the Sanskrit root kri (often spoken as kar),
which means to act or to create.
Karma isn’t fate.
It’s not punishment.
It’s cause and effect in motion.
It’s the understanding that your life is not random.
Your reality is shaped moment to moment by the actions you take,
the words you choose,
and most importantly, how you respond.
You are not your thoughts.
You are not even your actions alone.
You are the pattern of response you bring to the world you are helping create.
Some people call this the law of attraction.
Yoga calls it responsibility.
When you fully accept this, something shifts.
You stop being a victim of life,
and you begin participating in it.
For me, embracing karma has been deeply empowering.
It gave me the ability to change my reality,
not someday,
but right now.
The Four Laws of Karma
1. Karma is constant
You are always planting seeds.
Every action has a consequence.
Nothing is neutral.
2. Karma expands
What you put out doesn’t just return,
it returns amplified.
In waves.
3. Karma comes back in kind
The quality of the seed determines the quality of the fruit.
Plant bitterness, and bitterness returns.
Plant clarity, care, or courage, and that same quality comes back to you.
4. If nothing is planted, nothing grows
You don’t receive without offering.
You can’t wait for your “boat to come in”
if you never sent one out.
And no,
it’s not coming back loaded with gold
if nothing was invested.
There are no accidents here.
You only reap the fruit of seeds that have been planted.
So choose carefully.
Moment to moment.
Because karma is constant.
Karma is certain.
And your response is the practice.
