"The ultimate fruit of past karma is not carried into the next birth; it is exhausted in the present moment, where you have the power to transform your reality. Live consciously now, for this moment is where all causes ripen."
According to Osho, no ‘fruit’ of past karma carries into the next birth; all results are exhausted where they occur. The karmic harvest is finished in the present life and is not transferred forward. Therefore, rather than worrying about a ledger of rewards and punishments, live consciously now—this moment is where causes ripen and can be transformed.
Nothing from your past deeds’ rewards or punishments goes into your next life; it’s all used up here.
