Ep. 12: Can We Cheat Karma?

Karma isn’t solely a Hindu or Buddhist belief. In the broader sense, it refers to the cause and effect of a person’s actions. “You reap what you sow.” “For every action, there is an equal, opposite reaction.” Karma isn’t a belief; it’s an impersonal universal law, much like gravity. So then is it possible to cheat karma, to not have to live it out? In this episode we discuss: Is karma equal to punishment? How karma isn’t necessarily “An eye for an eye.” Why karma is about learning, not about judgment. Why trying to figure out, “What did I do to deserve this?” isn’t helpful and what to ask yourself instead. Is karma a life sentence? Is clearing our karma ever dependent on other people’s actions? How to clear karma without living it.
