I always thought that karma was the same as "reaping what you sow". Now I'm learning the difference. Sometimes there are consequences to our actions, but wrong actions don't determine our fate. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Through him we are more than conquerors! Now that is cool!
A little clarity over this on the message to Chris: Hello Chris, I trust this comment finds you well. There's some confusion here and misunderstanding of what is the representation of Hindu led Karma and Karmayog. Karmayog which is the understanding and self discovery of three stages: 1) one's true nature through various practices including and not limited to 8-fold yoga system dispassion from external attractions and repulsion, disciplining one's self, keeping the body and mind fit and healthy and controlled through breathing exercises. Sacrifice, charity, withdrawal of the senses and mind in order to know the self, concentration on the study of one's true nature, self-realisation and Samadhi surrendering to absolute reality. Ignorance of one's self melt away. Errors committed due to this ignorance do not happen. 2) with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living selfless penance, charity and sacrifice is performed and when one is surrendered and in loving devotion to God, fuelled with sincere correct knowledge and practice of self realisation one is ready for step 3. 3) established in vision of equanimity now true wisdom is found is compassion for all and selfless acts are natural. Such by-products are the melting away of lamentation, selfish loathing and dualities. Regular practice of this slowly and surely cultivate the culture to build the correct soil to come to a better practiced realised and liberated state thus one's actions naturally benefit all and one's self. Again with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living, when one performs the above then one's actions thinking, experienced emotions, perceptions, cognition are more beneficial to all. This is the first step to Karmayog. In the Bhagavad Gita chapter 9 verse 30, Krishna instructs that the road to peace is when one carefully and correctly followings Karmayog as detailed in the steps above. Prerequisites of course prior to the above verse are a deliberate and sincere unfoldment of chapters 1 to 6 of the Bhagavad Gita where one naturally elaborates many discoveries including and not limited to the ideologies of: - self-conduct - going through the journey of how to correctly conduct one's individual behaviour - the yogic disciplines central to the spiritual seeker with context to the former two. I don't claim to be an expert in anything mentioned in this comment, in your video you described someone was in a self-loathing mind-set and it's a shame that such misleading occurs especially from those who are not qualified in personal self-discovery aforementioned that is required by carefully following bona-fide spiritual authentic and approved practice. It is wonderful to gain greater understanding from reliable sources that have of course weathered and stand the test of centuries. Also with all due regard and respect, the term "next-life" described in your video seems somewhat misunderstood. In Vedanta this isn't necessarily meant as literally as the next life, it could be the next moment of the current life or when is in the same or similar situation, it is not a specific denoted timeframe. Hinduism is vast and complex through various contexts and facets, to come to make it a little easier to understand one must rewind slightly to verified bona-fide authentic trusted Vedantic scriptures (with an example explained at the end of this message), and study the deeper meanings of them through again, certified bonafide teachers from a specialised and certified institution. One can use these scriptures destructively as many have in the past or one to help one's self and others with compassion and spiritual wisdom, the latter of course is it's core purpose. The latter is harder because it takes wilful concentration to choose the correct action from within incorrect action with compassion for all leading one to be liberated from attachment and aversion. One who may be lost may contemplate on all of the above fully and choose the correct path, remember no one can answer "who am I" except you. Ones who cannot be self realised, devoted, give/receive compassion and love in faith, unable to surrender will not be successful to see and surrender to this ultimate truth. Those on the path of exclusive devotion to God and whom naturally, by one's own realisation and conclusion discover that God is the sole object of worship, true friend, refuge, and final goal see God alone. Thus their life is one of immense bliss and know there is nothing left to gain, the highest realisation is seen. It is this realisation that naturally immortalises one's thoughts. Devotion to the Lord is preserved, thus the to this regard, the Lord provides them what ever one lacks. Thus through the 3 stages mentioned dedicating our body mind faith and more, worshipping the Lord is a natural state to make the Lord our supreme goal. The following is the previously mentioned useful video, it also mentions Christianity and assimilating this with compassion and thankfulness is the correct way of studying and practicing these understandings: th-cam.com/video/TxpKfdbUcgE/w-d-xo.html These and all understanding herein are of course shared with a those free from these bad qualities, those with virtuous and pure qualities, and of whom are kindly disposed and dedicated to the welfare of these with the unbiased vision of eternity. May I end this comment with a short message: Together may we Move in our Studies for the betterment of all, Together may we two Relish in our Studies thusly, Together may we perform (our Studies) with Vigour (with deep Concentration), May what has been Studied by us be filled with the Brilliance (of Understanding, leading to Wisdom); May it Not give rise to Hostility (due to lack of Understanding), May our journey be one of immense compassion, bliss and love for all.

It is, you were correct, but when you repent and follow Jesus, your sins are forgiven and you are free from the burden of your sins, only when you do what Jesus say in the New Testament
WOW! So very illuminating! I am not a kid, and I am a devote Catholic, yet I too have upon occasion tossed about the word karma. Never again!!! Thank you for helping us grow every day, Chris. And THANK YOU to Our LORD for such love and forgiveness!!!!!

Wow! Thank you so much for unpacking that one for us. Great lesson about the redemption offered to us by God through his Son Jesus Christ. THANK YOU!! We'll be sharing this one.
Wow..I am rethinking using that word. Thanks for this word today Chris..always powerful and relevant messages. Am going to correct my kids everytime they say that now. Thanks and God bless

Thank you so much for this explanation. We all think we are enlightened and know so much, and in actuality there is so much we don't know. The next time I see one of my friends use this phrase on Facebook, I'll be sure to ask if they really know what they're asking...
I not only agree with everything you said about Karma, but I still believe and practice it daily. Karma may be wrong for you, but that doesn’t necessarily make it wrong for everyone else. Spirituality is a very sacred and personal relationship between man and God. I feel Christians shouldn’t judge or shame others for practicing one’s personal faith or beliefs.
The fulfillment of Christianity is love. So it would look the same if you were Christian, but the beliefs deep down would be different. From trusting yourself to trusting God. The works come out of love for God who removed the eternal bad "karma" that we deserved.
Here's to harmonizing both of your views with my intention to clarify my understanding of Chris's video by a message to Chris.

@@OlegKit-r2h Nature is a judge. Science is not so advanced to understand nature. If my eyes can't see beyond 800 metres doesn't mean that life does not exist beyond 800 metres.
@@Facts.152just wondering why do you think you are smarter than scientists or the idea in that you believe is more brighter than science knowledges. You and all other people around the world use everything of what scientists did for the whole world. However when we talk about different cases like that you prioritise “The nature” as the top of the judgment. In some countries are different law rules. For example if you did something bad you have to pay by going prison or in exceptional cases by death penalty. And here is the main point. Only masonry can grant the death penalty for people around the world and all their arguments will be sound like this is the Nature. That’s not us, that’s the nature. Great explanation why we are the most closed organization in the universe. And great answer because the nature 😂
Karma has been misunderstood as your actions and thus the belief that doing good will beget good. How wonderful if life was this easy. One has to understand that good and bad are personal perceptions. What's good to you may not be good for someone else. Karma means your memory. No action can be performed without first having the memory on how to articulate your body to perform the action. You can't eat with your fork and knife without first having the memory on how to use such cutlery. So a better understanding of karma is needed. It's not the opposite of grace. Karma and rebirth are the basis of all Indic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism and Taoism. The goal of the followers of these religions is for the human being to attain liberation. Therefore karma makes sense. In the abrahamic religions like christianity, the goal is to get to heaven and this can be achieved by believing in the grace of god. Here karma makes no sense at all. Therefore I agree with the above video that those who have the grace of god, need not worry about karma.
What about doing to others as you would have others doing to you? Is that karma if you don’t do it and treat other people badly and then one day that same mistreatment you gave to others comes back on you.
Well this conversation with the Hindu guy about how he said he sinned is very interesting. Especially since Hindus do not believe in sin. Karma simply means action. Karma is when you do something bad to someone and then later on that person does not help you when you need help. That's Karma. Yes karma is misunderstood but your understanding is also not correct.
What do you both think of this reply to Chris: Hello Chris, I trust this comment finds you well.

One can use these scriptures destructively as many have in the past or one to help one's self and others with compassion and spiritual wisdom, the latter of course is it's core purpose. The latter is harder because it takes wilful concentration to choose the correct action from within incorrect action with compassion for all leading one to be liberated from attachment and aversion. One who may be lost may contemplate on all of the above fully and choose the correct path, remember no one can answer "who am I" except you. Ones who cannot be self realised, devoted, give/receive compassion and love in faith, unable to surrender will not be successful to see and surrender to this ultimate truth. Those on the path of exclusive devotion to God and whom naturally, by one's own realisation and conclusion discover that God is the sole object of worship, true friend, refuge, and final goal see God alone. Thus their life is one of immense bliss and know there is nothing left to gain, the highest realisation is seen. It is this realisation that naturally immortalises one's thoughts. Devotion to the Lord is preserved, thus the to this regard, the Lord provides them what ever one lacks. Thus through the 3 stages mentioned dedicating our body mind faith and more, worshipping the Lord is a natural state to make the Lord our supreme goal. The following is the previously mentioned useful video, it also mentions Christianity and assimilating this with compassion and thankfulness is the correct way of studying and practicing these understandings: th-cam.com/video/TxpKfdbUcgE/w-d-xo.html These and all understanding herein are of course shared with a those free from these bad qualities, those with virtuous and pure qualities, and of whom are kindly disposed and dedicated to the welfare of these with the unbiased vision of eternity. May I end this comment with a short message: Together may we Move in our Studies for the betterment of all, Together may we two Relish in our Studies thusly, Together may we perform (our Studies) with Vigour (with deep Concentration), May what has been Studied by us be filled with the Brilliance (of Understanding, leading to Wisdom); May it Not give rise to Hostility (due to lack of Understanding), May our journey be one of immense compassion, bliss and love for all. Be blessed. 🙏
If christians would have relied on Karma, then jesus dying on cross would have been waste of time. He died for our sins so that we can believe in righteous rather than our own selves
@@Linkinmartis again the word Karma has been misunderstood. See the video link towards the end of my long message for an understanding of this. Also Hinduism also has a concept of sin which is central to various teachings. Sin is the result of Maya or the concept that we think we are something we are not. Thus sin is result of the action thought emotion of the thing we think we are yet are not. Maya is that viel of ignorance of self discovery. Christ dying on the cross is no different from various many stories throughout Hinduism put in different ways. I don't by the way as you have seen in my previous message claim to be an expert in any of this nor follow any path. Stay blessed 🙏🙏
I'm guilty. I've said it in a sentence meaning that you get what you deserve when you do bad instead of saying " you reap what you sow." We misuse words without understanding the origin.
if you need good to do well and act morally .. then its not moral behaviour at all. you are just fearful of consequences. there is basically no difference between you and a child.
The universal law of causality is common to all religions and cultures in some form. Chris, you must have failed miserably in comparative religion class. The Greek equivalent would be "fate, destiny". This universal law is alluded to throughout the Old and New Testaments, from the group destinies of the offspring of Abraham to the teachings of Christ and Paul's "You reap what you sow". So the Hindu cultural interpretation is different from what's in the Bible, I consider that splitting hairs, or missing the forest for the trees because it's clearly a major theme throughout the scriptures, and to say it isn't is bearing false witness born from an ignorance of the core meaning of the spiritual wisdom here.
I don't believe in Karma, because it is a "Works = favor from God" system. I do believe in a Godly system of justice and consequences that shares some aspects with Karma (good things generally happen to those who obey, and bad things happen to those who disobey), but God is in control and offers mercy and grace in a manner understood only by Him. I think Psalm 103 addresses this, particularly Psalm 103:10.
@impermanenece Finally found a comment that resonates. Karma, according to my understanding is not necessarily punishment for bad actions and rewards for good actions! It does not lead to liberation at all! Karma, whether good or bad binds you more on the material plane - as you are just attached to the fruits of your actions. Of course, it can help you up the ladder of development, but not necessarily achieve unconditional loving devotional service - which of course, is greater than impersonal liberation. Karma thus;- Is actually;- 'For every action, there is a resultant corrective reaction.' So, even if you do good, you may actually need to experience 'bad' reactions! All so that you realize we cannot think like worker bees attached to our honey, as all is taken in a flash. That's usually when 'Pure Goodness' is understood. Such purified actions, are done in serving the Lord, and not with the intention of serving the ego, nor with performing praise that is laden with an ego-stroking premise. It is serving the Lord without conditions placed on Him. So, maybe it is a good thing to not use the word Karma in such a loose manner - but at the same time, it can be done, knowing that only those truly spiritually developed will understand its true inferences. Such a shame a person of another faith judges with such ignorance, a term he doesn't understand. This again is about self assauging religious confirmation, that they hanker for for whatever self serving reason. But yes, it does not help their spiritual journey. Such people jump to believe that another is considered evil and bad. It is sad that for them, the other must be seen as bad and wrong, for they themselves to feel good and right. (In fact, Grace implies the need for you to be given an opportunity that may not be earned in the first place! Which, means that Karma, is still intertwined with Grace if it is given the connotation that the dear Christian gave it!) However, ultimately, I hope this dear Christian will save himself from sinning further; from judging ignorantly. After all, Jesus did say, 'sin no more.'
It doesn't mean we can now do what we want, we are not our own, we belong to God and must live the way God wants us to live, all for a very good reason, but you only find the reasons when you follow Jesus
Karma is actually just “Cause and effect”. It is the parable of the sower and reaper. What you put out is what you get back. We can always alter/change/transform our Karma with forgiveness, gratitude, change of mind and heart
The point that He is making is that with Karma if you've done bad things, bad things are going to happen to you no matter what and there's no way out. We cannot forgive ourselves of our sins because we are not God. Only Jesus Christ can forgive us of our sins because He IS God. He's not A God, He IS God who has overcome the sin of the world, who wants to offer you grace and mercy and salvation and wishes to call you a Child of God. This is why Reincarnation doesn't exist. Because Jesus Christ rose from the dead, this already goes against that entire cycle. You cannot have both Reincarnation and Resurrection when they are completely opposite. Also with the parable of the sower, the point that Jesus was making is what it means to truly have Him as our firm foundation, being rooted in His word, leaning on Christ for our lives, as He is the source of our lives. That's the point of the parable.
Funny how people say certain things to make it seem like it's not okay to work hard, love, be kind or even to be emotionally and mentally distraught. Isn't it strange how it's always the following: Beautiful people tell people its okay to be ugly Rich people say it's easy to get rich and famous Preachers and pastors always say rest in the lord, the struggle is temporary, don't let your problems distract you and it's okay to fail. The problem with these is that it's easy to have a great paying job, nice cars, loving family and friends, nice home, investment portfolios, maybe a decent church that isn't judgemental, or even look a certain way within society's standards and tell people these things. It's easy to live a good life and preach and love God and strong faith. But take that from these successful people and watch them change.. it's very difficult for me to live when everything I do falls apart...
Right ? Drives me crazy. The whole OT was about Israel doing bad things and bad things happening. Listening to god and good things happen. Then Jesus comes in and says do good things and you’ll be rewarded in heaven and do bad things and you’ll go to hell.
@@tookie36 Every time Israel goes into battle, it is Muslim countries that attack Israel first, or Muslim extremists who provoke Israel. The Israeli army fights to protect its own people. Instead of blaming the invaders and those who committed the violence in the first place, you scolded the Jews for their just act of self-defense. I really don't know what the purpose of such behavior is. In fact, all those who scold Israel for its so-called aggression are possessed by demons and are insane.
@@tookie36 We are all sinful people. These sins come from bad things we did in this life or in previous lives. Originally, all the bad things we have done will be reflected back to ourselves like springs. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can forgive our sins, save us, and wash away our sins. In the whole world, Jesus Christ is the only salvation, allowing sinful people to have a smooth path to salvation.
💥💥💥 Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning 'action' that entails karmic reaction. It is similar to the Law of Cause and Effect. Or in the Bible, "What you sow, so shall you reap." You say you don't believe in karma (action) or you don't believe in the divine Law of Karma? So, how do you explain the different fate and destiny that accompanied us when we are born and lasts throughout our lives? Some poor, some rich, some with congenital diseases, some die in the womb, or die young, some of old age? Others born in atheists family, other religions, remote mountains with no chance to know Jesus and God? Why do we have child prodigies? Irrational phobia even if not exposed to the objects of fear? What about gender dysphoria? Why bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad and evil people? And you say, life starts at conception and end at death, right? YOLO. So, what is the reason for these differences in fate and destiny? Random and mindless arangement of God? Is God unfair and playing favoritism that some of his children have good things in life while others have barely making it? Why would He let others born in Christian families easy for them to know Jesus, while others NEVER heard of him? And you say, failing to pledge allegiance to Jesus meant eternal suffering in blazing hellfire, right? Do you think it's God's equal, fair love and mercy to all His children? The law of karma is the answer to all these. And the karmic reactions of our actions in this life will be served, reaped next life. The law of karma checks and balances our actions. Rewards and Punishments. And it works side by side with reincarnation. To be free from the bondage of the law of karma and reincarnation, we have to dilligently follow Lord Jesus' first and foremost commandment - To develop our love for God, selflessly, unconditionally. In this way, our actions are not bound by the law of karma anymore. This is called - a-karma or "non-action" because our actions are all for the pleasure of God and not to selfishly satisfy our senses. And God will erase ALL our karmic reactions from many lifetimes the moment we truly love Him, as Jesus exemplified.
Hi Karma is not dark. The real definition for Karma is action. Like Newtons 3rd law: for every action there is a reaction. So what ever we do there will be a consequence. But there is grace in Hunduism.. or as I would call it Sanata Dharma. Krishna says i the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18 vers 66 : Abandoning all dharmas, surrender to Me alone. I will take care of all your sins; I will liberate you. Have no fear. I respect others beliefs, and I was raised as Christian, so it is not for judging you. But to inform you about the word Karma. because it gets used some much and is misunderstood a lot.
Thank you for correcting the person in the video. He just heard from some random guy some incomplete definition of the word Karma and now he thinks there is no grace in Hinduism. I love how you quoted Krishna because you are right Karma is applicable until you surrender yourself to god, then he ll take care of you.

I only watched 1 minute and I just want to say, I pray every night, and I believe in god and that Jesus died for our sins and. However, I also feel that there are so many different representations of the Bible all over the world and those humans that follow those beliefs will be saved too. When god comes down upon us, who knows how many details may be off. It’s like playing playing telephone for hundreds of years. 😆 I think karma and darma are both very real. Maybe not the poor guy giving up because he sinned to the point that he has to give up and thinks he won’t have a chance, but it’s not that deep brother. For example, I believe in God, but also in the golden rule.. “do onto others as you want done to yourself” to me, that’s the simplest form of karma, but I still believe in god. Am I wrong??? 🤷🏻♂️ 👊🏼🙏🏼
“Do unto others” isn’t “karma.” We tend to appropriate these words without really “getting it.” The guy I met got it. He was an actual Hindu. I respect other faiths but I’m glad I don’t believe what he believes. Regarding playing telephone - the Bible actually has very few variations in translation. Original texts in Hebrew and Greek are easy to find and are almost entirely the same. It actually stands out from other historic works in this regard. The English translations from the originals do vary - but not wildly - and original texts are readily available and easy to find. God bless u.

Yet know about neither it seems by revelations in the message to Chris below: Hello Chris, I trust this comment finds you well. There's some confusion here and misunderstanding of what is the representation of Hindu led Karma and Karmayog. Karmayog which is the understanding and self discovery of three stages: 1) one's true nature through various practices including and not limited to 8-fold yoga system dispassion from external attractions and repulsion, disciplining one's self, keeping the body and mind fit and healthy and controlled through breathing exercises. Sacrifice, charity, withdrawal of the senses and mind in order to know the self, concentration on the study of one's true nature, self-realisation and Samadhi surrendering to absolute reality. Ignorance of one's self melt away. Errors committed due to this ignorance do not happen. 2) with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living selfless penance, charity and sacrifice is performed and when one is surrendered and in loving devotion to God, fuelled with sincere correct knowledge and practice of self realisation one is ready for step 3. 3) established in vision of equanimity now true wisdom is found is compassion for all and selfless acts are natural. Such by-products are the melting away of lamentation, selfish loathing and dualities. Regular practice of this slowly and surely cultivate the culture to build the correct soil to come to a better practiced realised and liberated state thus one's actions naturally benefit all and one's self. Again with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living, when one performs the above then one's actions thinking, experienced emotions, perceptions, cognition are more beneficial to all. This is the first step to Karmayog. In the Bhagavad Gita chapter 9 verse 30, Krishna instructs that the road to peace is when one carefully and correctly followings Karmayog as detailed in the steps above. Prerequisites of course prior to the above verse are a deliberate and sincere unfoldment of chapters 1 to 6 of the Bhagavad Gita where one naturally elaborates many discoveries including and not limited to the ideologies of: - self-conduct - going through the journey of how to correctly conduct one's individual behaviour - the yogic disciplines central to the spiritual seeker with context to the former two. I don't claim to be an expert in anything mentioned in this comment, in your video you described someone was in a self-loathing mind-set and it's a shame that such misleading occurs especially from those who are not qualified in personal self-discovery aforementioned that is required by carefully following bona-fide spiritual authentic and approved practice. It is wonderful to gain greater understanding from reliable sources that have of course weathered and stand the test of centuries. Also with all due regard and respect, the term "next-life" described in your video seems somewhat misunderstood. In Vedanta this isn't necessarily meant as literally as the next life, it could be the next moment of the current life or when is in the same or similar situation, it is not a specific denoted timeframe. Hinduism is vast and complex through various contexts and facets, to come to make it a little easier to understand one must rewind slightly to verified bona-fide authentic trusted Vedantic scriptures (with an example explained at the end of this message), and study the deeper meanings of them through again, certified bonafide teachers from a specialised and certified institution.

The latter is harder because it takes wilful concentration to choose the correct action from within incorrect action with compassion for all leading one to be liberated from attachment and aversion. One who may be lost may contemplate on all of the above fully and choose the correct path, remember no one can answer "who am I" except you. Ones who cannot be self realised, devoted, give/receive compassion and love in faith, unable to surrender will not be successful to see and surrender to this ultimate truth.

Devotion to the Lord is preserved, thus the to this regard, the Lord provides them what ever one lacks. Thus through the 3 stages mentioned dedicating our body mind faith and more, worshipping the Lord is a natural state to make the Lord our supreme goal.

Be blessed. 🙏
I tell my children that everything Our Dear Lord did was good and everything that "life" apparently returned to Him was bad... I remind them of the redemptive value of suffering and the sharing in His passion... is that Karma?

He loves us so much! Even if I were the only person on earth, He still would have died on the cross. Christ, thank you for all the gifts you send my way. The gifts I treasure, and those that hurt.
My God is awesome God. No other God could ever compare even if other gods did truly exist (which they don't). Just saying with what I know about false gods, none even compare to the awesomeness of the real God.
I don’t believe in Karma. God gives a lot of grace. There so much people do everyday that never comes back to them. And people only use karma when something is done wrong to them to bring them instant justification. There are people who do good things and it doesn’t come back to them as well as bad things.
I always believe if you want to see a certain outcome of a situation you have to fight for it. The universe isn’t just going to work things out for you
Since you brought this to my attention about karma I have noticed that you have been wearing a hat that says karma where can I get one of those Chris I want to be reminded every day that I look in the mirror wearing that hat of what karma really means

A brief insight into Karma Karmayog as being it's root definition in a reply to Chris: Hello Chris, I trust this comment finds you well. There's some confusion here and misunderstanding of what is the representation of Hindu led Karma and Karmayog. Karmayog which is the understanding and self discovery of three stages: 1) one's true nature through various practices including and not limited to 8-fold yoga system dispassion from external attractions and repulsion, disciplining one's self, keeping the body and mind fit and healthy and controlled through breathing exercises. Sacrifice, charity, withdrawal of the senses and mind in order to know the self, concentration on the study of one's true nature, self-realisation and Samadhi surrendering to absolute reality. Ignorance of one's self melt away. Errors committed due to this ignorance do not happen. 2) with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living selfless penance, charity and sacrifice is performed and when one is surrendered and in loving devotion to God, fuelled with sincere correct knowledge and practice of self realisation one is ready for step 3. 3) established in vision of equanimity now true wisdom is found is compassion for all and selfless acts are natural. Such by-products are the melting away of lamentation, selfish loathing and dualities. Regular practice of this slowly and surely cultivate the culture to build the correct soil to come to a better practiced realised and liberated state thus one's actions naturally benefit all and one's self. Again with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living, when one performs the above then one's actions thinking, experienced emotions, perceptions, cognition are more beneficial to all. This is the first step to Karmayog. In the Bhagavad Gita chapter 9 verse 30, Krishna instructs that the road to peace is when one carefully and correctly followings Karmayog as detailed in the steps above. Prerequisites of course prior to the above verse are a deliberate and sincere unfoldment of chapters 1 to 6 of the Bhagavad Gita where one naturally elaborates many discoveries including and not limited to the ideologies of: - self-conduct - going through the journey of how to correctly conduct one's individual behaviour - the yogic disciplines central to the spiritual seeker with context to the former two. I don't claim to be an expert in anything mentioned in this comment, in your video you described someone was in a self-loathing mind-set and it's a shame that such misleading occurs especially from those who are not qualified in personal self-discovery aforementioned that is required by carefully following bona-fide spiritual authentic and approved practice. It is wonderful to gain greater understanding from reliable sources that have of course weathered and stand the test of centuries. Also with all due regard and respect, the term "next-life" described in your video seems somewhat misunderstood. In Vedanta this isn't necessarily meant as literally as the next life, it could be the next moment of the current life or when is in the same or similar situation, it is not a specific denoted timeframe. Hinduism is vast and complex through various contexts and facets, to come to make it a little easier to understand one must rewind slightly to verified bona-fide authentic trusted Vedantic scriptures (with an example explained at the end of this message), and study the deeper meanings of them through again, certified bonafide teachers from a specialised and certified institution. One can use these scriptures destructively as many have in the past or one to help one's self and others with compassion and spiritual wisdom, the latter of course is it's core purpose. The latter is harder because it takes wilful concentration to choose the correct action from within incorrect action with compassion for all leading one to be liberated from attachment and aversion. One who may be lost may contemplate on all of the above fully and choose the correct path, remember no one can answer "who am I" except you. Ones who cannot be self realised, devoted, give/receive compassion and love in faith, unable to surrender will not be successful to see and surrender to this ultimate truth. Those on the path of exclusive devotion to God and whom naturally, by one's own realisation and conclusion discover that God is the sole object of worship, true friend, refuge, and final goal see God alone. Thus their life is one of immense bliss and know there is nothing left to gain, the highest realisation is seen. It is this realisation that naturally immortalises one's thoughts. Devotion to the Lord is preserved, thus the to this regard, the Lord provides them what ever one lacks.

Talking to a random person is great but to draw your conclusions off of that is wild. How long have you studied the Bible? And you’re still learning I’m sure… and what knowledge do you have of karma ?
You don't understand Karma at all. It's quite common, not many people understand it even in Indian faiths like Hinduism and Buddhism. I'll try to explain it in simplest way possible. So, whenever any being comes into existence, it comes with some Karma points. Let's suppose positive Karma points to be good and negative to be bad and it varies between -999 to 1000. So, goal of life is to reach 1000, that way you will be freed from cycle of reincarnation. So, when you do good things, your karma points will increase and vice versa. So, even smallest good thing affects your Karma points like feeding a hungry dog or helping a injured animal or even planting a tree because for you it may not of any use but it may affect others life deeply. Same point will not be awarded to everyone do the same thing, it depends on situation as well. And ultimate goal is not to reach heaven or hell but to be free from the world, be in a state where you are one with God (Hardest thing to grasp for most people) because there is nothing permanent, not even heaven or hell but God. Bad Karma will make your life hard, it will bring suffering but how you react to it is thing that will affect your karma point. Karma and Samsar(World) very closely bound to each other. Your smallest decision affect the whole world. You may not be able to see it but it is there. For example, say you're very hungry and you buy a burger with only 10 minutes before some important 2 hour meeting. But then you see some homeless guy who looks very hungry and he asks you for help- Now you can do a lot of things, but we will take two: 1. Either you can help him by giving your burger, or 2. You can ignore him because you're hungry too. So, if you choose to help then you may stay hungry but that will increase your good Karma because you intentionally stayed hungry and suffered for a while because you helped someone who was suffering. It may not be a big deal for you but it is big deal for the person you helped. It may bring huge change in him. And if you go with second option thinking that you are hungry too and you don't have time, then it may not affect you much but it may bring a huge change in that person. It will not affect your karma points much. Both way, you will help that person, one way or another. It's up to you how you choose to help. We say in Hinduism- Going to temples and praying will never remove your sins even a criminal can do that. What you do for this world, for making others life better is what will affect your sins. And yes, it applies to all living beings.
Yup Karma is just demonic. Completely opposite to what the Bible talks about. Karma determines the existence of the persons life and by that I mean the next life after the current one. You come back in the next life and suffer due to the bad things a person has done. So the person in the next life is punished by obstacles, problems and challenges. Until the person is able to learn the lesson and make things right, then the next life may or may not be awful for them. There’s no forgiveness when it comes to karma. It’s so demonic plus there’s also karma yoga.
These ppl don't see the truth & doesn't realise Jesus actual teachings & bibles completely different.... Jesus went to India at age 12 & learnt under Buddhist monks & he went to teach his knowledge among his ppl... & the church had him killed for preaching something which goes against the concept of creator god.... & even after his death Jesus was popular so church decided to to include him in their religion & claim him to be their gods son to win his followers & undefatble popularity
I think Christians already do, Christ said "You reap what you sow", that's karma! Not really, there is divine intervention and intersession when you sincerely ask and mend your ways. Sir because Jesus loves us is great but I know good christians who won't twice of physically attacking a black or Jew and not feel they need to fear any divine retribution or if catholic swear or take an entire office video system and say "Well I'll do 3 hail marys, 4 our lords and that would fix it". Really?
I think I will join Christianity and do bad things all the day and pray in evening to Jesus then all my sin will white wash. So that I can do it again. grace is free pass for doing sin. I love Christianity.
Wrong, grace is not an excuse to do sin. We receive the grace of god when we come forward with true guilt and apology for our sins. We are forgiven of our sins because we realize that they took us from god. You are looking at it wrong, and I encourage you to read into it more! Grace is not there to allow you to continue sinning with no consequence; it’s there because Christ carried his cross and was nailed to it and left to die so that we may have a way to return to him. So that we may understand what we have done wrong and see the hurt we’ve done, and repent, believe, and go on without that sin in our lives.
Romans 6:Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. 5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. 6 We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 8 And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him.
😂 there is "prayaschita" for every bad karma it's by your karma you get sick or get desiesed even Christian priests dies due to major desiese that's because of your past life or this lifes bad karma there is lot of prayaschit mentioned in ayurveda texts to get well karma concept gives better view to things happening around us it's more logical than any grace or love concept actually god doesn't give you good things or bad things its our karma gives us better or bitter life
The only times I talk about karma in reality are when they refer to health. Whoever refuses to get vaccinated from COVID-19 nowadays basically gets a severe case of that illness!
😂😂😂 just another way to say do however bad you want, hurt people as much as you want nothing will punish you. And that’s a lie. It’s a law , doesn’t work as per someone’s beliefs it works, like gravity, believe it or not gravity is there.
Children don't naturally rebel against their parents, that's a lie you've been fed by a society that teaches your children to hate you. Karma as a pretty evil concept that lacks forgiveness.
The Christians say: The Father is God The Son is God The Holy Spirit is God 2: But they are not 3 Gods But 1 God 3: It continues : The Father is a person The Son is a person The Holy Spirit is a person. But they are not 3 persons But 1 person. I’m asking : What language are you speaking?! That Jesus (pbuh) is a Prophet stands in the Bible!!!!!! YOU CAN FIND IT. Matthew 21:11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the PROPHET of Nazareth of Galilee. John 9:17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a PROPHET.” Luke 22:42 “Father, if YOU are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Christianity is not the religion of Jesus, but it’s the religion of Paul. If Christians really follow Jesus they would have been Muslims (Jesus Prayed to God) Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “MY Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with HIS FACE TO THE GROUND and PRAYED, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” (Just like Muslims) Corinthians 11:6 For if a woman does not COVER her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should COVER her head. ( Cover her head just like muslim womans) I Dare every single christian brother or sister, to show me 1 verse in the Bible where Jesus (pbuh) said : I’m God or whorship me. And do not response to me with the verse 10:30 of John : I and the Father are one BEFORE you read the context of it carefully! ❤️🙏 I don’t want to dissrespect nobody i come only in peace and wish you nothing but the best. I send you 3 videos, if someone is at least open minded, and thinks oke you know what, let me see it. That will be amazing ❤️🙏 Then we can discuss after, and see who will bring me the verse where Jesus (pbuh) says : I’m God or whorship me. The name of God is Allah Even in the Bible - Ahmad Deedat ⬇️❤️💯 m.th-cam.com/video/8vGQa-35Xok/w-d-xo.html Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Even Called By Name in the Bible ! By Ahmed Deedat ⬇️❤️💯 m.th-cam.com/video/ykdUUSA1Qro/w-d-xo.html A Jew explains why Allah is the one and only God ⬇️❤️🙏 m.th-cam.com/video/65zyICBKBPI/w-d-xo.html
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three persons, but one God. 3 in 1, all equally person, equally god, in one existence together in perfect harmony. That is the Catholic Belief, and Jesus Christ is the Son, and equally God and man.
Wow thanks. yeah 800 years later some random dude who said God told him that it was cool to worship the pagan gods and then was like oh wait sorry that was Satan my bad, yeah what he said overrules the new testament because it was probably corrupted beyond recognition even though there's no evidence of that. Might as well be Mormon - why not!!! At least Mormons are sweet people not flying planes into buildings. I mean if you're going to go to a totally false religion.
I always thought that karma was the same as "reaping what you sow". Now I'm learning the difference.
Sometimes there are consequences to our actions, but wrong actions don't determine our fate. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Through him we are more than conquerors! Now that is cool!
So you believe in reaping you sow and Jesus Christ is sin eater
I just know that mistakes of our past don't have to determine our future. Just believe in yourself and the power of God in you.
😂😂😂 ok sinner but karma is the best accountant

It is, you were correct, but when you repent and follow Jesus, your sins are forgiven and you are free from the burden of your sins, only when you do what Jesus say in the New Testament
"We are recipients of the best news ever! Let's stop being afraid of that!" Fantastic! I'll be holding that close to my heart
Yes. 👍😀
WOW! So very illuminating! I am not a kid, and I am a devote Catholic, yet I too have upon occasion tossed about the word karma. Never again!!! Thank you for helping us grow every day, Chris. And THANK YOU to Our LORD for such love and forgiveness!!!!!
Isn't karma basically "you reap what you sow" which is a Biblical saying?
@@jayndavis3814though it is referred to as a entity or being and is also been apart of a pagan religion. Aswell as it should not be tied to or said as equal to scripture.
Wow! Thank you so much for unpacking that one for us. Great lesson about the redemption offered to us by God through his Son Jesus Christ. THANK YOU!! We'll be sharing this one.
Wow..I am rethinking using that word. Thanks for this word today Chris..always powerful and relevant messages. Am going to correct my kids everytime they say that now. Thanks and God bless
Wonderful!
God bless,

Thank you Chris. So many of my friends and family members believe in Karma. I need to share this with them ASAP!
How do you distinguish “you reap what you sow” and karma?
@@Ajuhhexactly. Its the same
wen i was 16 i realzied that believing karma is like believing in another god
Thank you for that Explanation. It makes so much sense!
Glad it was helpful!

Devotion to the Lord is preserved, thus the to this regard, the Lord provides them what ever one lacks. Thus through the 3 stages mentioned dedicating our body mind faith and more, worshipping the Lord is a natural state to make the Lord our supreme goal.
The following is the previously mentioned useful video, it also mentions Christianity and assimilating this with compassion and thankfulness is the correct way of studying and practicing these understandings:

These and all understanding herein are of course shared with a those free from these bad qualities, those with virtuous and pure qualities, and of whom are kindly disposed and dedicated to the welfare of these with the unbiased vision of eternity.
May I end this comment with a short message:
Together may we Move in our Studies for the betterment of all,
Together may we two Relish in our Studies thusly,
Together may we perform (our Studies) with Vigour (with deep Concentration),
May what has been Studied by us be filled with the Brilliance (of Understanding, leading to Wisdom); May it Not give rise to Hostility (due to lack of Understanding),
May our journey be one of immense compassion, bliss and love for all.
Be blessed.

Thank you, Chris, for another wonderful lesson!!!
Yet just to clarify the reply to Chris on understandings of this lesson as follows:
Hello Chris,
I trust this comment finds you well. There's some confusion here and misunderstanding of what is the representation of Hindu led Karma and Karmayog.
Karmayog which is the understanding and self discovery of three stages:
1) one's true nature through various practices including and not limited to 8-fold yoga system dispassion from external attractions and repulsion, disciplining one's self, keeping the body and mind fit and healthy and controlled through breathing exercises. Sacrifice, charity, withdrawal of the senses and mind in order to know the self, concentration on the study of one's true nature, self-realisation and Samadhi surrendering to absolute reality. Ignorance of one's self melt away. Errors committed due to this ignorance do not happen.
2) with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living selfless penance, charity and sacrifice is performed and when one is surrendered and in loving devotion to God, fuelled with sincere correct knowledge and practice of self realisation one is ready for step 3.
3) established in vision of equanimity now true wisdom is found is compassion for all and selfless acts are natural. Such by-products are the melting away of lamentation, selfish loathing and dualities. Regular practice of this slowly and surely cultivate the culture to build the correct soil to come to a better practiced realised and liberated state thus one's actions naturally benefit all and one's self. Again with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living, when one performs the above then one's actions thinking, experienced emotions, perceptions, cognition are more beneficial to all. This is the first step to Karmayog.
In the Bhagavad Gita chapter 9 verse 30, Krishna instructs that the road to peace is when one carefully and correctly followings Karmayog as detailed in the steps above.
Prerequisites of course prior to the above verse are a deliberate and sincere unfoldment of chapters 1 to 6 of the Bhagavad Gita where one naturally elaborates many discoveries including and not limited to the ideologies of:
- self-conduct
- going through the journey of how to correctly conduct one's individual behaviour
- the yogic disciplines central to the spiritual seeker with context to the former two.
I don't claim to be an expert in anything mentioned in this comment, in your video you described someone was in a self-loathing mind-set and it's a shame that such misleading occurs especially from those who are not qualified in personal self-discovery aforementioned that is required by carefully following bona-fide spiritual authentic and approved practice. It is wonderful to gain greater understanding from reliable sources that have of course weathered and stand the test of centuries.
Also with all due regard and respect, the term "next-life" described in your video seems somewhat misunderstood. In Vedanta this isn't necessarily meant as literally as the next life, it could be the next moment of the current life or when is in the same or similar situation, it is not a specific denoted timeframe.
Hinduism is vast and complex through various contexts and facets, to come to make it a little easier to understand one must rewind slightly to verified bona-fide authentic trusted Vedantic scriptures (with an example explained at the end of this message), and study the deeper meanings of them through again, certified bonafide teachers from a specialised and certified institution.
One can use these scriptures destructively as many have in the past or one to help one's self and others with compassion and spiritual wisdom, the latter of course is it's core purpose. The latter is harder because it takes wilful concentration to choose the correct action from within incorrect action with compassion for all leading one to be liberated from attachment and aversion.
One who may be lost may contemplate on all of the above fully and choose the correct path, remember no one can answer "who am I" except you. Ones who cannot be self realised, devoted, give/receive compassion and love in faith, unable to surrender will not be successful to see and surrender to this ultimate truth.
Those on the path of exclusive devotion to God and whom naturally, by one's own realisation and conclusion discover that God is the sole object of worship, true friend, refuge, and final goal see God alone. Thus their life is one of immense bliss and know there is nothing left to gain, the highest realisation is seen.
It is this realisation that naturally immortalises one's thoughts.
Devotion to the Lord is preserved, thus the to this regard, the Lord provides them what ever one lacks. Thus through the 3 stages mentioned dedicating our body mind faith and more, worshipping the Lord is a natural state to make the Lord our supreme goal.

Nailed it ....Great work, as usual !
Thanks so much, Rejath!

You always nail it, Chris! This is so enlightening!
Fantastic as always Chris. Really appreciate the explanation and the way you unpacked it. What a stark contrast between "karma" and Grace!
👍
Glad it was helpful!
- Sebastian from Your Real Life Catholic Team
Thank you so much for this explanation. We all think we are enlightened and know so much, and in actuality there is so much we don't know. The next time I see one of my friends use this phrase on Facebook, I'll be sure to ask if they really know what they're asking...
thank you so much for this video. I always thought that god will give me penalties for sinning which always stressed me out. thank you!
Of course there’s justice - but it’s nothing like karma. And our God offers us a clean slate whenever we repent/ask him.
I love this! Great video praise God!
I not only agree with everything you said about Karma, but I still believe and practice it daily. Karma may be wrong for you, but that doesn’t necessarily make it wrong for everyone else. Spirituality is a very sacred and personal relationship between man and God. I feel Christians shouldn’t judge or shame others for practicing one’s personal faith or beliefs.
The fulfillment of Christianity is love. So it would look the same if you were Christian, but the beliefs deep down would be different. From trusting yourself to trusting God. The works come out of love for God who removed the eternal bad "karma" that we deserved.
Here's to harmonizing both of your views with my intention to clarify my understanding of Chris's video by a message to Chris. It would be interesting to know what you both think, here goes:

If you are a Christian then we don’t believe in karma we put our trust and hope in God
Thank you for educating me on this topic.
Amen, beautiful Amazing Grace! 🙏✝️🙏
i love this. My God is so forgiving and loves me.
So beautifully said;
Chris! To be given
Grace, just because
God loves us! What

I'm loosing faith, due to a family member stealing from my father and we have seen no justice. I just still do not understand why Christ let's this evil action be.
Trust in the Lord jesus, he is the true justice. Remain in him because he s good and just and no one else is.
Amen God bless you 🙏✝️
The best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't get any better than this!
Ours is a story of an OVERWHELMING LOVE - A GOD WHO SUFFERS IN OUR PLACE.
Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

The irony is, there is some truth to Karma, since it reflects a truth about divine justice. It just doesn't reflect the truth of Gods mercy. /:)
Karmas is a process to balance nature with good and bad deeds.
@@Facts.152who is the judges? Other people ?
@@OlegKit-r2h Nature is a judge. Science is not so advanced to understand nature. If my eyes can't see beyond 800 metres doesn't mean that life does not exist beyond 800 metres.
@@Facts.152just wondering why do you think you are smarter than scientists or the idea in that you believe is more brighter than science knowledges. You and all other people around the world use everything of what scientists did for the whole world. However when we talk about different cases like that you prioritise “The nature” as the top of the judgment. In some countries are different law rules. For example if you did something bad you have to pay by going prison or in exceptional cases by death penalty. And here is the main point. Only masonry can grant the death penalty for people around the world and all their arguments will be sound like this is the Nature. That’s not us, that’s the nature. Great explanation why we are the most closed organization in the universe. And great answer because the nature 😂
Karma has been misunderstood as your actions and thus the belief that doing good will beget good. How wonderful if life was this easy.
One has to understand that good and bad are personal perceptions. What's good to you may not be good for someone else.
Karma means your memory. No action can be performed without first having the memory on how to articulate your body to perform the action. You can't eat with your fork and knife without first having the memory on how to use such cutlery.
So a better understanding of karma is needed. It's not the opposite of grace. Karma and rebirth are the basis of all Indic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism and Taoism. The goal of the followers of these religions is for the human being to attain liberation. Therefore karma makes sense.
In the abrahamic religions like christianity, the goal is to get to heaven and this can be achieved by believing in the grace of god. Here karma makes no sense at all.
Therefore I agree with the above video that those who have the grace of god, need not worry about karma.
GRACE - God's Riches At Christ's Expense
Amen and Amen brother
Lord I repent for using that phrase, even in jest. Forgive me.
Amen 🙏🏽 brother. Grace. Yes sir.
This was a great explanation and I feel blessed to be a recipient of God’s eternal grace!
What about doing to others as you would have others doing to you? Is that karma if you don’t do it and treat other people badly and then one day that same mistreatment you gave to others comes back on you.
Well this conversation with the Hindu guy about how he said he sinned is very interesting. Especially since Hindus do not believe in sin. Karma simply means action. Karma is when you do something bad to someone and then later on that person does not help you when you need help. That's Karma. Yes karma is misunderstood but your understanding is also not correct.
No his understanding is incorrect. I agree with you ❤

If christians would have relied on Karma, then jesus dying on cross would have been waste of time.
He died for our sins so that we can believe in righteous rather than our own selves
@@Linkinmartis again the word Karma has been misunderstood. See the video link towards the end of my long message for an understanding of this.
Also Hinduism also has a concept of sin which is central to various teachings. Sin is the result of Maya or the concept that we think we are something we are not. Thus sin is result of the action thought emotion of the thing we think we are yet are not. Maya is that viel of ignorance of self discovery.
Christ dying on the cross is no different from various many stories throughout Hinduism put in different ways.
I don't by the way as you have seen in my previous message claim to be an expert in any of this nor follow any path.
Stay blessed 🙏🙏
You're a good man And you nailed this video 💯
Thanks for this!
I'm guilty. I've said it in a sentence meaning that you get what you deserve when you do bad instead of saying " you reap what you sow." We misuse words without understanding the origin.
Thank God we have a saved Catholic (hope this makes some kind of sense) that loves the Lord Jesus, the Jesus of the bible.
So how do you distinguish “You reap what you sow” and karma?
AMEN!
Needed this video
if you need good to do well and act morally .. then its not moral behaviour at all. you are just fearful of consequences. there is basically no difference between you and a child.
Karma originates from a false god and will not be heard in the new heaven and new earth.
Thank you
enlightening
The Bible technically believes in not all aspects, but a big part of the concept of Karma with it's statement: "you reap what you sow."
The universal law of causality is common to all religions and cultures in some form. Chris, you must have failed miserably in comparative religion class. The Greek equivalent would be "fate, destiny". This universal law is alluded to throughout the Old and New Testaments, from the group destinies of the offspring of Abraham to the teachings of Christ and Paul's "You reap what you sow". So the Hindu cultural interpretation is different from what's in the Bible, I consider that splitting hairs, or missing the forest for the trees because it's clearly a major theme throughout the scriptures, and to say it isn't is bearing false witness born from an ignorance of the core meaning of the spiritual wisdom here.
I don't believe in Karma, because it is a "Works = favor from God" system. I do believe in a Godly system of justice and consequences that shares some aspects with Karma (good things generally happen to those who obey, and bad things happen to those who disobey), but God is in control and offers mercy and grace in a manner understood only by Him. I think Psalm 103 addresses this, particularly Psalm 103:10.
Amen
There is such thing as karma, we can't deny it. Christianity is good it let us look at positive attitudes.
If karma is true then its not dark because your view on karma aligns with reality. Grace and Karma can coexist.
Karma is not christian, it's Hinduism. They cannot coexist.
@impermanenece Finally found a comment that resonates. Karma, according to my understanding is not necessarily punishment for bad actions and rewards for good actions!
It does not lead to liberation at all! Karma, whether good or bad binds you more on the material plane - as you are just attached to the fruits of your actions.
Of course, it can help you up the ladder of development, but not necessarily achieve unconditional loving devotional service - which of course, is greater than impersonal liberation.
Karma thus;- Is actually;- 'For every action, there is a resultant corrective reaction.'
So, even if you do good, you may actually need to experience 'bad' reactions! All so that you realize we cannot think like worker bees attached to our honey, as all is taken in a flash.
That's usually when 'Pure Goodness' is understood. Such purified actions, are done in serving the Lord, and not with the intention of serving the ego, nor with performing praise that is laden with an ego-stroking premise.
It is serving the Lord without conditions placed on Him.
So, maybe it is a good thing to not use the word Karma in such a loose manner - but at the same time, it can be done, knowing that only those truly spiritually developed will understand its true inferences.
Such a shame a person of another faith judges with such ignorance, a term he doesn't understand. This again is about self assauging religious confirmation, that they hanker for for whatever self serving reason. But yes, it does not help their spiritual journey.
Such people jump to believe that another is considered evil and bad. It is sad that for them, the other must be seen as bad and wrong, for they themselves to feel good and right.
(In fact, Grace implies the need for you to be given an opportunity that may not be earned in the first place! Which, means that Karma, is still intertwined with Grace if it is given the connotation that the dear Christian gave it!)
However, ultimately, I hope this dear Christian will save himself from sinning further; from judging ignorantly. After all, Jesus did say, 'sin no more.'
I love this guy
It doesn't mean we can now do what we want, we are not our own, we belong to God and must live the way God wants us to live, all for a very good reason, but you only find the reasons when you follow Jesus
Karma is actually just “Cause and effect”. It is the parable of the sower and reaper. What you put out is what you get back. We can always alter/change/transform our Karma with forgiveness, gratitude, change of mind and heart
The point that He is making is that with Karma if you've done bad things, bad things are going to happen to you no matter what and there's no way out. We cannot forgive ourselves of our sins because we are not God. Only Jesus Christ can forgive us of our sins because He IS God. He's not A God, He IS God who has overcome the sin of the world, who wants to offer you grace and mercy and salvation and wishes to call you a Child of God.
This is why Reincarnation doesn't exist. Because Jesus Christ rose from the dead, this already goes against that entire cycle. You cannot have both Reincarnation and Resurrection when they are completely opposite.
Also with the parable of the sower, the point that Jesus was making is what it means to truly have Him as our firm foundation, being rooted in His word, leaning on Christ for our lives, as He is the source of our lives. That's the point of the parable.
Funny how people say certain things to make it seem like it's not okay to work hard, love, be kind or even to be emotionally and mentally distraught. Isn't it strange how it's always the following:
Beautiful people tell people its okay to be ugly
Rich people say it's easy to get rich and famous
Preachers and pastors always say rest in the lord, the struggle is temporary, don't let your problems distract you and it's okay to fail.
The problem with these is that it's easy to have a great paying job, nice cars, loving family and friends, nice home, investment portfolios, maybe a decent church that isn't judgemental, or even look a certain way within society's standards and tell people these things.
It's easy to live a good life and preach and love God and strong faith. But take that from these successful people and watch them change.. it's very difficult for me to live when everything I do falls apart...
Many verses in Bible refer to karma
Right ? Drives me crazy. The whole OT was about Israel doing bad things and bad things happening. Listening to god and good things happen. Then Jesus comes in and says do good things and you’ll be rewarded in heaven and do bad things and you’ll go to hell.
@@tookie36 Galatians 6:7 - Reaping What You Sow
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.”
@@tookie36 Every time Israel goes into battle, it is Muslim countries that attack Israel first, or Muslim extremists who provoke Israel. The Israeli army fights to protect its own people. Instead of blaming the invaders and those who committed the violence in the first place, you scolded the Jews for their just act of self-defense. I really don't know what the purpose of such behavior is. In fact, all those who scold Israel for its so-called aggression are possessed by demons and are insane.
@@tookie36 We are all sinful people. These sins come from bad things we did in this life or in previous lives. Originally, all the bad things we have done will be reflected back to ourselves like springs. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can forgive our sins, save us, and wash away our sins. In the whole world, Jesus Christ is the only salvation, allowing sinful people to have a smooth path to salvation.
Karma origin mention in Sanatan Dharma
Repent and begin a New. It's not difficult, it's Love.

Amen!!
💥💥💥 Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning 'action' that entails karmic reaction. It is similar to the Law of Cause and Effect. Or in the Bible, "What you sow, so shall you reap."
You say you don't believe in karma (action) or you don't believe in the divine Law of Karma?
So, how do you explain the different fate and destiny that accompanied us when we are born and lasts throughout our lives?
Some poor, some rich, some with congenital diseases, some die in the womb, or die young, some of old age?
Others born in atheists family, other religions, remote mountains with no chance to know Jesus and God?
Why do we have child prodigies? Irrational phobia even if not exposed to the objects of fear? What about gender dysphoria? Why bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad and evil people?
And you say, life starts at conception and end at death, right? YOLO. So, what is the reason for these differences in fate and destiny? Random and mindless arangement of God?
Is God unfair and playing favoritism that some of his children have good things in life while others have barely making it?
Why would He let others born in Christian families easy for them to know Jesus, while others NEVER heard of him?
And you say, failing to pledge allegiance to Jesus meant eternal suffering in blazing hellfire, right?
Do you think it's God's equal, fair love and mercy to all His children? The law of karma is the answer to all these. And the karmic reactions of our actions in this life will be served, reaped next life.
The law of karma checks and balances our actions. Rewards and Punishments. And it works side by side with reincarnation.
To be free from the bondage of the law of karma and reincarnation, we have to dilligently follow Lord Jesus' first and foremost commandment -
To develop our love for God, selflessly, unconditionally. In this way, our actions are not bound by the law of karma anymore.
This is called - a-karma or "non-action" because our actions are all for the pleasure of God and not to selfishly satisfy our senses.
And God will erase ALL our karmic reactions from many lifetimes the moment we truly love Him, as Jesus exemplified.
Hi Karma is not dark. The real definition for Karma is action. Like Newtons 3rd law: for every action there is a reaction. So what ever we do there will be a consequence.
But there is grace in Hunduism.. or as I would call it Sanata Dharma. Krishna says i the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18 vers 66 :
Abandoning all dharmas, surrender to Me alone. I will take care of all your sins; I will liberate you. Have no fear.
I respect others beliefs, and I was raised as Christian, so it is not for judging you. But to inform you about the word Karma. because it gets used some much and is misunderstood a lot.
Thank you for correcting the person in the video. He just heard from some random guy some incomplete definition of the word Karma and now he thinks there is no grace in Hinduism. I love how you quoted Krishna because you are right Karma is applicable until you surrender yourself to god, then he ll take care of you.
Finally found a comment that resonates. Karma, according to my understanding is not necessarily punishment for bad actions and rewards for good actions!
It does not lead to liberation at all! Karma, whether good or bad binds you more on the material plane - as you are just attached to the fruits of your actions.
Of course, it can help you up the ladder of development, but not necessarily achieve unconditional loving devotional service - which of course, is greater than impersonal liberation.
Karma thus;- Is actually;- 'For every action, there is a resultant corrective reaction.'
So, even if you do good, you may actually need to experience 'bad' reactions! All so that you realize we cannot think like worker bees attached to our honey, as all is taken in a flash.
That's usually when 'Pure Goodness' is understood. Such purified actions, are done in serving the Lord, and not with the intention of serving the ego, nor with performing praise that is laden with an ego-stroking premise.
It is serving the Lord without conditions placed on Him.
So, maybe it is a good thing to not use the word Karma in such a loose manner - but at the same time, it can be done, knowing that only those truly spiritually developed will understand its true inferences.
Such a shame a person of another faith judges with such ignorance, a term he doesn't understand. This again is about self assauging religious confirmation, that they hanker for for whatever self serving reason. But yes, it does not help their spiritual journey.
Such people jump to believe that another is considered evil and bad. It is sad that for them, the other must be seen as bad and wrong, for they themselves to feel good and right.
(In fact, Grace implies the need for you to be given an opportunity that may not be earned in the first place! Which, means that Karma, is still intertwined with Grace if it is given the connotation that the dear Christian gave it!)
However, ultimately, I hope this dear Christian will save himself from sinning further; from judging ignorantly. After all, Jesus did say, 'sin no more.'
I only watched 1 minute and I just want to say, I pray every night, and I believe in god and that Jesus died for our sins and. However, I also feel that there are so many different representations of the Bible all over the world and those humans that follow those beliefs will be saved too. When god comes down upon us, who knows how many details may be off. It’s like playing playing telephone for hundreds of years. 😆 I think karma and darma are both very real. Maybe not the poor guy giving up because he sinned to the point that he has to give up and thinks he won’t have a chance, but it’s not that deep brother. For example, I believe in God, but also in the golden rule.. “do onto others as you want done to yourself” to me, that’s the simplest form of karma, but I still believe in god. Am I wrong??? 🤷🏻♂️ 👊🏼🙏🏼
“Do unto others” isn’t “karma.” We tend to appropriate these words without really “getting it.” The guy I met got it. He was an actual Hindu. I respect other faiths but I’m glad I don’t believe what he believes.
Regarding playing telephone - the Bible actually has very few variations in translation. Original texts in Hebrew and Greek are easy to find and are almost entirely the same. It actually stands out from other historic works in this regard.
The English translations from the originals do vary - but not wildly - and original texts are readily available and easy to find.
God bless u.

I'm not Catholic. I agree with this 100%.
Yet know about neither it seems by revelations in the message to Chris below:
Hello Chris,
I trust this comment finds you well. There's some confusion here and misunderstanding of what is the representation of Hindu led Karma and Karmayog.
Karmayog which is the understanding and self discovery of three stages:
1) one's true nature through various practices including and not limited to 8-fold yoga system dispassion from external attractions and repulsion, disciplining one's self, keeping the body and mind fit and healthy and controlled through breathing exercises. Sacrifice, charity, withdrawal of the senses and mind in order to know the self, concentration on the study of one's true nature, self-realisation and Samadhi surrendering to absolute reality. Ignorance of one's self melt away. Errors committed due to this ignorance do not happen.
2) with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living selfless penance, charity and sacrifice is performed and when one is surrendered and in loving devotion to God, fuelled with sincere correct knowledge and practice of self realisation one is ready for step 3.
3) established in vision of equanimity now true wisdom is found is compassion for all and selfless acts are natural. Such by-products are the melting away of lamentation, selfish loathing and dualities. Regular practice of this slowly and surely cultivate the culture to build the correct soil to come to a better practiced realised and liberated state thus one's actions naturally benefit all and one's self. Again with the vision of equanimity and compassion for all living and non-living, when one performs the above then one's actions thinking, experienced emotions, perceptions, cognition are more beneficial to all. This is the first step to Karmayog.
In the Bhagavad Gita chapter 9 verse 30, Krishna instructs that the road to peace is when one carefully and correctly followings Karmayog as detailed in the steps above.
Prerequisites of course prior to the above verse are a deliberate and sincere unfoldment of chapters 1 to 6 of the Bhagavad Gita where one naturally elaborates many discoveries including and not limited to the ideologies of:
- self-conduct
- going through the journey of how to correctly conduct one's individual behaviour
- the yogic disciplines central to the spiritual seeker with context to the former two.
I don't claim to be an expert in anything mentioned in this comment, in your video you described someone was in a self-loathing mind-set and it's a shame that such misleading occurs especially from those who are not qualified in personal self-discovery aforementioned that is required by carefully following bona-fide spiritual authentic and approved practice. It is wonderful to gain greater understanding from reliable sources that have of course weathered and stand the test of centuries.
Also with all due regard and respect, the term "next-life" described in your video seems somewhat misunderstood. In Vedanta this isn't necessarily meant as literally as the next life, it could be the next moment of the current life or when is in the same or similar situation, it is not a specific denoted timeframe.
Hinduism is vast and complex through various contexts and facets, to come to make it a little easier to understand one must rewind slightly to verified bona-fide authentic trusted Vedantic scriptures (with an example explained at the end of this message), and study the deeper meanings of them through again, certified bonafide teachers from a specialised and certified institution.
One can use these scriptures destructively as many have in the past or one to help one's self and others with compassion and spiritual wisdom, the latter of course is it's core purpose. The latter is harder because it takes wilful concentration to choose the correct action from within incorrect action with compassion for all leading one to be liberated from attachment and aversion.
One who may be lost may contemplate on all of the above fully and choose the correct path, remember no one can answer "who am I" except you. Ones who cannot be self realised, devoted, give/receive compassion and love in faith, unable to surrender will not be successful to see and surrender to this ultimate truth.
Those on the path of exclusive devotion to God and whom naturally, by one's own realisation and conclusion discover that God is the sole object of worship, true friend, refuge, and final goal see God alone. Thus their life is one of immense bliss and know there is nothing left to gain, the highest realisation is seen.
It is this realisation that naturally immortalises one's thoughts.
Devotion to the Lord is preserved, thus the to this regard, the Lord provides them what ever one lacks. Thus through the 3 stages mentioned dedicating our body mind faith and more, worshipping the Lord is a natural state to make the Lord our supreme goal.
The following is the previously mentioned useful video, it also mentions Christianity and assimilating this with compassion and thankfulness is the correct way of studying and practicing these understandings:
th-cam.com/video/TxpKfdbUcgE/w-d-xo.html
These and all understanding herein are of course shared with a those free from these bad qualities, those with virtuous and pure qualities, and of whom are kindly disposed and dedicated to the welfare of these with the unbiased vision of eternity.
May I end this comment with a short message:
Together may we Move in our Studies for the betterment of all,
Together may we two Relish in our Studies thusly,
Together may we perform (our Studies) with Vigour (with deep Concentration),
May what has been Studied by us be filled with the Brilliance (of Understanding, leading to Wisdom); May it Not give rise to Hostility (due to lack of Understanding),
May our journey be one of immense compassion, bliss and love for all.
Be blessed.
🙏
I tell my children that everything Our Dear Lord did was good and everything that "life" apparently returned to Him was bad... I remind them of the redemptive value of suffering and the sharing in His passion... is that Karma?
Find out the answer to that via this reply to Chris's video:

He loves us so much! Even if I were the only person on earth, He still would have died on the cross. Christ, thank you for all the gifts you send my way. The gifts I treasure, and those that hurt.
Karma Stinks! It limited.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
My God is awesome God. No other God could ever compare even if other gods did truly exist (which they don't). Just saying with what I know about false gods, none even compare to the awesomeness of the real God.
Karma is very real too all ,as is the grace of Jesus Christ ,, be good do good , They are tied together ,,,it is all real !
Jesus can save evil who repent from karma
You can not escape the law of karma
my dads side of my family has buddha statues even though theyre christian
i dont know why
Bc Buddha is a great soul. And he makes people smile
I don’t believe in Karma. God gives a lot of grace. There so much people do everyday that never comes back to them. And people only use karma when something is done wrong to them to bring them instant justification. There are people who do good things and it doesn’t come back to them as well as bad things.
I always believe if you want to see a certain outcome of a situation you have to fight for it. The universe isn’t just going to work things out for you
Perhaps it’s God who dispenses karma
No needs to believe in karma, because we can see it
Christ ended karma, Amen
Christ amplified Karma. Amen
Since you brought this to my attention about karma I have noticed that you have been wearing a hat that says karma where can I get one of those Chris I want to be reminded every day that I look in the mirror wearing that hat of what karma really means

Talking to a random person is great but to draw your conclusions off of that is wild. How long have you studied the Bible? And you’re still learning I’m sure… and what knowledge do you have of karma ?
You don't understand Karma at all. It's quite common, not many people understand it even in Indian faiths like Hinduism and Buddhism. I'll try to explain it in simplest way possible.
So, whenever any being comes into existence, it comes with some Karma points. Let's suppose positive Karma points to be good and negative to be bad and it varies between -999 to 1000. So, goal of life is to reach 1000, that way you will be freed from cycle of reincarnation. So, when you do good things, your karma points will increase and vice versa. So, even smallest good thing affects your Karma points like feeding a hungry dog or helping a injured animal or even planting a tree because for you it may not of any use but it may affect others life deeply.
Same point will not be awarded to everyone do the same thing, it depends on situation as well. And ultimate goal is not to reach heaven or hell but to be free from the world, be in a state where you are one with God (Hardest thing to grasp for most people) because there is nothing permanent, not even heaven or hell but God. Bad Karma will make your life hard, it will bring suffering but how you react to it is thing that will affect your karma point.
Karma and Samsar(World) very closely bound to each other. Your smallest decision affect the whole world. You may not be able to see it but it is there.
For example, say you're very hungry and you buy a burger with only 10 minutes before some important 2 hour meeting. But then you see some homeless guy who looks very hungry and he asks you for help- Now you can do a lot of things, but we will take two:
1. Either you can help him by giving your burger, or
2. You can ignore him because you're hungry too.
So, if you choose to help then you may stay hungry but that will increase your good Karma because you intentionally stayed hungry and suffered for a while because you helped someone who was suffering. It may not be a big deal for you but it is big deal for the person you helped. It may bring huge change in him.
And if you go with second option thinking that you are hungry too and you don't have time, then it may not affect you much but it may bring a huge change in that person. It will not affect your karma points much.
Both way, you will help that person, one way or another. It's up to you how you choose to help.
We say in Hinduism- Going to temples and praying will never remove your sins even a criminal can do that. What you do for this world, for making others life better is what will affect your sins. And yes, it applies to all living beings.
You do know there all types of karma, you want to have more good karma than bad
A passionate preacher who's a Catholic? That's different.
Karma simply means "actions" your actions . The term instant karma is funny because it literally means instant actions 😂
Yup Karma is just demonic. Completely opposite to what the Bible talks about. Karma determines the existence of the persons life and by that I mean the next life after the current one. You come back in the next life and suffer due to the bad things a person has done. So the person in the next life is punished by obstacles, problems and challenges. Until the person is able to learn the lesson and make things right, then the next life may or may not be awful for them. There’s no forgiveness when it comes to karma. It’s so demonic plus there’s also karma yoga.
So why where you born in your life and another one born in Palestine ? You get to live a normal life and another child is brutally murdered ?
And what about those who are born blind?...reincarnation? ..even Jesus spoken of reincarnation in the Bible. 🤔
These ppl don't see the truth & doesn't realise Jesus actual teachings & bibles completely different.... Jesus went to India at age 12 & learnt under Buddhist monks & he went to teach his knowledge among his ppl... & the church had him killed for preaching something which goes against the concept of creator god.... & even after his death Jesus was popular so church decided to to include him in their religion & claim him to be their gods son to win his followers & undefatble popularity

I think Christians already do, Christ said "You reap what you sow", that's karma! Not really, there is divine intervention and intersession when you sincerely ask and mend your ways. Sir because Jesus loves us is great but I know good christians who won't twice of physically attacking a black or Jew and not feel they need to fear any divine retribution or if catholic swear or take an entire office video system and say "Well I'll do 3 hail marys, 4 our lords and that would fix it". Really?
Who is your guru😥 Muhammad 😮
👍🏽
I think I will join Christianity and do bad things all the day and pray in evening to Jesus then all my sin will white wash. So that I can do it again. grace is free pass for doing sin. I love Christianity.
Wrong, grace is not an excuse to do sin. We receive the grace of god when we come forward with true guilt and apology for our sins. We are forgiven of our sins because we realize that they took us from god. You are looking at it wrong, and I encourage you to read into it more! Grace is not there to allow you to continue sinning with no consequence; it’s there because Christ carried his cross and was nailed to it and left to die so that we may have a way to return to him. So that we may understand what we have done wrong and see the hurt we’ve done, and repent, believe, and go on without that sin in our lives.
Romans 6:Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. 6 We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 8 And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him.
😂 there is "prayaschita" for every bad karma it's by your karma you get sick or get desiesed even Christian priests dies due to major desiese that's because of your past life or this lifes bad karma there is lot of prayaschit mentioned in ayurveda texts to get well karma concept gives better view to things happening around us it's more logical than any grace or love concept actually god doesn't give you good things or bad things its our karma gives us better or bitter life
😗 Nope.
The only times I talk about karma in reality are when they refer to health. Whoever refuses to get vaccinated from COVID-19 nowadays basically gets a severe case of that illness!
Thanks, don't really believe in karma anyway.of course you do a crime you pay the time.
😂😂😂 just another way to say do however bad you want, hurt people as much as you want nothing will punish you. And that’s a lie. It’s a law , doesn’t work as per someone’s beliefs it works, like gravity, believe it or not gravity is there.
Children don't naturally rebel against their parents, that's a lie you've been fed by a society that teaches your children to hate you. Karma as a pretty evil concept that lacks forgiveness.
Wheter you believe or not Karma works. Even the Bible talks about it. Just read your Bible closer
The Christians say:
The Father is God
The Son is God
The Holy Spirit is God
2: But they are not 3 Gods But 1 God
3: It continues : The Father is a person
The Son is a person
The Holy Spirit is a person.
But they are not 3 persons
But 1 person.
I’m asking : What language are you speaking?!
That Jesus (pbuh) is a Prophet stands in the Bible!!!!!! YOU CAN FIND IT.
Matthew 21:11
And the multitude said, This is Jesus the PROPHET of Nazareth of Galilee.
John 9:17
So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a PROPHET.”
Luke 22:42
“Father, if YOU are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
Christianity is not the religion of Jesus, but it’s the religion of Paul. If Christians really follow Jesus they would have been Muslims
(Jesus Prayed to God)
Matthew 26:39
Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “MY Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
Matthew 26:39
Going a little farther, he fell with HIS FACE TO THE GROUND and PRAYED, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” (Just like Muslims)
Corinthians 11:6
For if a woman does not COVER her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should COVER her head. ( Cover her head just like muslim womans)
I Dare every single christian brother or sister, to show me 1 verse in the Bible where Jesus (pbuh) said : I’m God or whorship me.
And do not response to me with the verse 10:30 of John : I and the Father are one BEFORE you read the context of it carefully! ❤️🙏 I don’t want to dissrespect nobody i come only in peace and wish you nothing but the best. I send you 3 videos, if someone is at least open minded, and thinks oke you know what, let me see it. That will be amazing ❤️🙏
Then we can discuss after, and see who will bring me the verse where Jesus (pbuh) says : I’m God or whorship me.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three persons, but one God. 3 in 1, all equally person, equally god, in one existence together in perfect harmony. That is the Catholic Belief, and Jesus Christ is the Son, and equally God and man.
Wow thanks. yeah 800 years later some random dude who said God told him that it was cool to worship the pagan gods and then was like oh wait sorry that was Satan my bad, yeah what he said overrules the new testament because it was probably corrupted beyond recognition even though there's no evidence of that. Might as well be Mormon - why not!!! At least Mormons are sweet people not flying planes into buildings. I mean if you're going to go to a totally false religion.
Amen!
