What is the law of karma?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Karma is not a punishment but the natural recording of your actions; what you sow in alignment with your true self will blossom, while what you sow in conflict will only bring distance and guilt."
According to Osho, the law of karma is not a decree from a lawgiver but the intrinsic self-recording of life: whatever you sow, you reap. Every act either aligns with your nature or violates it; it automatically registers in the unconscious as openness, worth, and flow - or as guilt, contraction, and distance - shaping your experience, relationships, and future choices.
Karma means your actions write themselves inside you: being true to yourself opens you and connects you, while going against yourself makes you feel guilty and closed, shaping how your life goes.
Why this matters practically
- Choose actions that match your real nature to feel light, open, and improve relationships.
- Use guilt or inner tightness as feedback to course-correct, tell the truth, and repair.
- Live transparently; secrets create distance, honesty restores flow and connection.
