Karma Quotes

Karma literally means “deed” or “act” and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction which governs all life. Karma is not fate, for man acts with free will creating his own destiny. According to the Vedas, if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their accompanying reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determines our future. Here is a collection of some of the most popular quotes about karma.
