Ask Osho!

What is the role of karma?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Karma is the law of cause and effect; every choice you make is a seed that will blossom into your own experience, granting you the power to reshape your destiny."

According to Osho, karma is simply cause and effect: nothing happens outside this law. What you experience arises from your own decisions and choices, not from an external fate. Each intention and act plants a cause that returns as effect. Responsibility and freedom coincide—by choosing with awareness, you reshape consequences; by choosing unconsciously, you repeat them.
Karma means your choices create results that come back to you, so choose carefully.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts you from blaming fate to owning your actions.
- Encourages mindful choices that change recurring patterns.
- Helps you pause, see consequences, and respond wisely.
