Karma Destiny

Karma is a process, action, energy and force. Some interpret this force as action-influence. It is our own doings reacting on ourselves. The pain and happiness are the results of deeds, words and thoughts reacting on themselves. Our deeds, words and thoughts produce our prosperity, failure, happiness and misery. It is an impersonal, natural law operating in its own field without the intervention of external, independent ruling agencies.
