Rant
I've always believed in karma, but lately, I’ve started to doubt it. Why do fraudsters get to laugh, while people like us—who don't believe in hurting anyone—end up dealing with their mess? Why do those who act horribly seem to escape the consequences they deserve? Is the world really built on such flawed logic, or is there someone up there keeping things in balance? Honestly, I don't think there's anyone in the sky making things fair. I could choose to be like them, but my conscience won’t allow it—and that doesn’t make me weak.

People say leave everything to karma but karma feels more like a lazy, incompetent and unfit stereotypical government employee. Can't expect it to do anything.
If karma was a thing, politicians would be rotting in jail.Are they now?No,they and their grandchildren are living lavishly.
They kill people,rape women(Most politicians have sex with 100s of younger women )& loot people's.But are still treated like gods.
I have seen people who bullied me when I was in school and college.living a comfortable life.
So yeah fuck karma.
Grass looks greener on the other side. So what looks like a lavish lifestyle of any high profile people there is always a darker side which is not visible to the world.

The word "karma" itself has been washed down to some basic definition in today's world. What you mentioned has a lot to do with something called "Prarabdha". It is a part of your past karma that you're experiencing now and it's unavoidable. As you mentioned, bad people getting away with many things has a lot to do with Prarabdha, as they have accumulated "good karma" in their past lives and they're experiencing it now. That being said, whatever you do in your life, no matter how small, is being taken note of. You may not get the results immediately but you'll definitely get the fruits of your action.

This is what my mother thinks. You might not get your karma in this life but next one will make sure of that.

Absolutely agree 💯 with this.also karmic reaction does not happens instantly it takes time to mature.Just like seeds which are sown when a person does any action whether good or evil that seeds of action are sown and it takes time to mature but eventually it will come as per past actions.Time frame is also not limited to this life only it may come in next or even after thousands of birth as soul moves through birth death cycle continuously unless liberated.God has made this karmic system very stringent and acts very subtle level in inconceivable ways. What we see around the world like people facing severe diseases, deformities, poverty or any kind of miseries are due to past actions.Also sometimes food people also have done something wrong in past so they suffer later and bad persons might have done good so they get to enjoy comfortable life.Only pure devotional service to God can burn the good or bad karma.

True… karma is our way to cope especially when someone wrongs us! Yeah sure there are those cases where folks deserve what they get and we say karma is a bitch in glee, but there are countless examples where people do wrong and live happy lives, sometimes the person they’ve wronged gets more dump on his/her head 🤣

1. There is no god so karma thing is not real either.
2. People who follow religion are either lying about their faith for a profit or are fools who still don't know that there is no god.
3. People who believe in karma are the selfish ones. They expect the world to be all flowers and helpful just because they were nice to others. You are not nice if you have expectations in return. Either stop being nice or stop having expectations.
4. Good things happen to everyone and in the end it is a good person who gains the most. Those who feel that they were good and never got anything are actually ignorant towards what they already got and are expecting more for their pitiful little deeds.
5. Our idea of good and bad is flawed by our social justice. We think beating someone is wrong but at the same time we would happily beat the shit out of a thief who never learned anything beyond stealing because of the environment around him.
6. You might think you are not a fraudster but at the same time somewhere someone thinks you are a fraud. We humans have very self centric behaviour.

4th point does not make sense to me. Billionaires are the most scummy people and should face punishments like public execution at the very least, yet they gain the most. Would you qualify Adani Ambani as good people?

Karma was a useful coping mechanism for our elders. But the way they looked at was different than how we see it today. Just like our food and need for gratification we want Karma to be instant. But that's not the essence of Karma. Karma is action. Mindful or not, just like each action, there's a consequence. That's all there is. Whether the consequence is good or bad, intense or mild is not for us or anyone, even for GOD to decide. Look at it this way, you eat unhealthy food today, nothing major happens. You eat like that for a year maybe you gain weight. You eat like that for 5 years you end up in a hospital. The opposite is true when you're trying to work. Nothing happens overnight, but your gains add up. Every Karma is like a ripple you send out in this vast ocean, it can come back as a wave that submerges you or as that wave that lets you ride it and carry you to the shore :)
If you have a conscience and believe its making you do the right thing then you believe in something bigger than you. Karma works but doesnt necessarily work in your time frame / life. You are a very small piece in the entire big cosmos and it's supposed to be running on some pattern or rules which we may not understand completly. Have faith. Makes life easy and trust your higher self.
I guess it's 50-50.
At times Karma hits back instantly and times when it hits in the next lifetime.
The life we are leading right now- good or bad, is all because of our karmas. Our body, our environment, the people around us, their reactions, everything.
That's what I believe, I don't know whether it's right or not.
The people who are living a lavish life after doing all the wrong deeds, must have done something good in the past, which is why they are getting rewarded right now.
And vice-versa.
Let's do good to everyone in our present, maybe, at some point, we'll also be rewarded.
But also not doing good for others blindly, at times we need to take actions to protect ourselves and our self being. ☺️
As you will grow wiser you will know that evil is always stronger than good. Life is a waste. There is no good or no bad. The race to preserve intelligent life is of no value. Don't know if there is god or not, but there is no tracking of good or bad deeds. It all is just the perception of your brain.

That's because people use the concept of Karma without understanding the roots of its origin. If you want to understand and believe in Karma , then you must understand and believe in reincarnation. Consequently, the existence of the soul (you), and the perishable nature of the body (occupied by the soul, that is you). Both concepts must go hand in hand.
Having said that, the soul in its unfathomable number of reincarnation in different circumstances does Karma, both good and bad. This leads to the soul taking different bodily forms. The best analogy is a "battery". The more karma you do the more charged your bodily battery is. So when you see someone unworthy reaping happiness despite visible bad actions done by him, he/she is discharging the previous battery of good karma while charging the new one to face it later.
Finally, we mortal human beings have a limited perspective of time, but the mother nature who facilitates Karmic reactions can see the innumerable instances of one's life in different bodily forms. This she decides accordingly when the soul is going to reap which karma and at what time. At the end whether a third person is able to see it or not, justice is always served. One can escape the laws of the land, but not the laws of nature.
It’s a matter of time. Sooner or later, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.
The universe does not follow Karma rules. It follows survival of the fittest. Fraudsters are just smarter than us and hence they not just survive but thrive.

Well if you talk about Karma, it is not only the action of this birth but previous births as well.
My wife is a Akashik record reader and I got my records checked yesterday.
I asked why my father treats me unfairly in this current life time?
Well it turned out that in one of the previous births I was a judge and despite being innocent, i convicted a person to prison.
That person is my father in my current birth and he is doing the same to me now.
So next time you feel people get let off easily, remember that the books get balanced at a soul level and not at a birth level.
I have many such examples if you need any further respite from knowing why bad people will always have a bad karma
Hi @Baba_White_Sheep , I believe in karma but also wanted to know why things going certain way(not good) in my life.Could I get my records checked, if possible let me know? Thanks

First of all karma doesn't exist.
Second eww.
Your father is a narcissist. And you are the victim of lifelong childhood trauma. What you are doing now is escaping that and try not to blame him for your mental state because deep down you're still scared to accuse him of something because of fear OR because you don't want to blame anyone as you want to take responsibility after reading those shitty instagram posts.

Karma works in the ways we can't understand. It's like a non coder trying to understand how code works. Focus on the positives and let the system work. If you see good things happening to bad people, it's because of the butterfly effect. It does some good some where that we can't see
Everything needs some time to ripen🍌. I've worked in an organisation for more than 10 years. There is nothing instant. They tortured many employees and one of my colleagues went into depression also. Now the company owner went into depression. everything takes some time, but sure karma comes back with compound interest. I've seen it many times. The more time it takes, the more mistakes they make and it will be like a thrash that they can't even recover.
How can be people believe in whatever they are told without having any scientific explanation? You’re wrong in believing in such bulshit things in first place. Grow up buddy, theres no santa clause no god and yes evil people win corrupt politicians rule and list goes on. Wake up and face the realities

I think the karma of life is the afterlife. They are all gonna face the consequences for each and every wrong they do. Just be patient and keep doing the right things. This world is just a test and you are free to do what you want. But once you die it's over you can't change things and there are consequences for your actions. That's what religion teaches you :)
