Karma
A word which resonates with new & old,
much talked, much hyped, bought & sold.
Some fear, some celebrate, never it fades,
Time & again, in one form or so it reverberates.
“KARMA” it is called, mere mortals know.
In numerous philosophies, it directs flow.
A universal principle of cause & effect
A person’s actions, connects & reflects.
Not in bounds of Sectarian thoughts,
Effectively shaping, belief ethical, behaviour moral, lays life plot.
Karma teaches- every action has consequences.
To lead life guided by our senses.
Doing good generates positive outcome,
Harmful leaves us suffering & numb.
Not to be confused as divine punishment,
But a natural moral law, a deterrent.
Past influences present; present actions shape future.
Motivation behind actions, we find our truest nurture.
Human with conscious choices, shapes own destiny,
Stop blaming fate, accept personal responsibility.
Grow in self-awareness, live ethically.
For a genuine desire to create harmony, live aesthetically.
The modern World must realize,
The seeds we sow today will shape tomorrow’s skies.
A popular saying holds true- what goes around, comes around.
In the echo of our choices, our future will be found.
Put words as you may,
Karma is here to stay.
A guiding principle of ethical living,
Is to rise each day with a heart worth giving!
