Karma explained - 1: What is karma?

- In this video, Dada explains the basic mechanism behind the Universal Law of Cause and Effect. He makes a distinction between the commonly understood word “karma” (action) and the actual resultant effect of the karma known as samskara (the potential reaction which eventually expresses from the original action).
The universal law of Cause and Effect not only operates in the physical world but it also operates in the mental world. It helps to explain why certain things occur in our lives which we don’t understand why.
Dada explains how the function of the indirect will assists us to reap the consequences of actions that we have performed before as ordained by the Cosmic Law. He warns us that a proper reaction to the expression of the previous action is necessary if we are to break the unending chain of action and reaction.
Dada helps someone who may be enjoying the fruits of their good actions but cannot understand what more profoundly enjoyable experiences lie beyond the mere reactions of previous positive actions. That it is the characteristic of the mind to seek the state of unending happiness as is the nature of the consciousness within us.

Namaskar -- Dada, thank you, wonderfully explained. I always feel that I can relate the topics of your videos to whatever I am currently experiencing. As such, I am able to immediately relate my thoughts and actions to the yogic principles that you describe, almost as if I am receiving exactly what I need at that time to learn and grow. Seek, and the Universe provides. I look forward to this series of videos and all of the wisdom contained within. Peace
Wonderful synchronicity.
Today i understand this... After 1 year by again watching.... Thanks dada

Ossum explanation of samsakara and karma
Very beautifully explained dada
Thank you so much for this talk! Illuminating and powerful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Спасибо, дада
Namaskar Dada... This is great. I have had few instances where I went through indirect will to response back to the situations. No I understood how the mechanism worked out.
I'm so glad to hear you. I had some problems and some questions and you answered them all in one video. Can't wait to hear you again
You are so welcome! The new class is ready, waiting its turn.
Thank you so much for this. Really interesting, I loved it
Our pleasure!
Namaskar thanks dada it's so important
Thank you for the explanation.🙏😊
You're welcome 😊
Love your down to earth eksplanations. Thank you for the videos
Glad you like them!
i was thinking about karma just like yesterday! it's not as simple as it is shown in the movies, which is great hahah! thanks for the information. 🌸
Glad it was helpful!
thank u Guru 🙏🏻
Thank you so much 🙆♀️you have such a gift ,l feel this in my heart that this is so true,l observe myself ,my mind,my actions and that is exactly how it works. Namaste Dada 🙇♀️
Wonderful!
Namaskar dada. You are doing great work.....spreading Baba philosophy. Request you to please make video on Idea and Ideology.
Thank you for this video. I too had heard of Karma but not the term of reaction -Samskara. Some things became clearer to me with this new information. I especially enjoy it when you share moments and experiences from your life during your talks. Thank you also for your time and efforts to reply to comments. Namaste.
Thanks for sharing!
As always, you are awesome. Thank you Dada. It helped me a lot and I will watch it again. Namaskar and I love you 🌹
Glad to hear that
I’ve been following your videos for a while now and am always struck by the sincerity that you emit and also the manner in which u are always able to use the exact English word that the sentence demands, even though English is (I’m guessing) only your second language! As someone who would think of himself as a seeker, I’d love to know more about you and how you go to where u are now, 🙏🏻
Maybe one day I will record video, if the will be interest. I am currently in Russia, Siberia.
Namaskar. This video has answered most of my questions about Karma. Thank you so much. Looking forward to the second part.
We have recorded the second part, will publish it soon. Thank you for your appreciation.
A really lucid explanation of karma and how it effects outward/world and inward/mind. this is why doing something 'bad' intentionally leads to bad karma but if you do it unintentionally (like a cat eating meat, not knowing about effect on animal) there is no karma for the cat. maybe this is too simplistic, and maybe the cat will pay for this karma in future lives, but it still puts my mind at ease to think this way. so that way if i accidentally step on a bug i'm not going to suffer beyond seeing my mistake, feeling for the bug's loss of life, and blessing the bug.
I love your way of talking man ! It put's a smile on my face and makes me be here with you . When is the next lecture ? :D Love ya !
Very soon!
one recent thing was that the man i am studying in the university with was ill, but he came to the lecture feeling bad, coughing, etc. I saw that and at that time my health was lower than normal so i thought that i should really stay away from him to not get sick. So, the break begins and I walk near him and greet the guy with a handshake without a feeling of control over what i am doing. Got ill, but treated the illnes as a lesson to be more aware and treat my health more carefully.
Great video!!.. can't wait for the next part
Working on it!
@@MeditationSteps Thanku very much..I had requested on how to deal with energy vampires(unconscious people) please make a video on it Dada 🙏
Namaskar dada. That was a wonderful, beautiful and lovely video. I didn't get bored for a second. Thank you for the content. It's a treasure for me. Grateful!
So nice
Yes Dada, there is such a thing as free will. Because GOD has given us a free will.
To a certain extend, yes.
thanks
Baba naam kevalam
Beautiful talk Dada ❤️ just wonderful, there are many knowers of knowledge but not many who can really give that knowledge in the simple and wonderful manner you do.
I'm very grateful for all your talks. Recently I got cheated on in a relationship with whom I was very loyal and it felt quite unjust ful that it happened to me. But ever since that moment my perspective towards human love changed I found your channel too in that time and now so much has changed in my life becoming much more spiritually inclined. So it must have happened for good reason and I must have hurt someone in the past to receive that.
Thank you for explaining that and eagerly waiting for your next videos.
Thank you 🙏🏻😘
I admire the wisdom with which you looked at the described event of your life.
@@MeditationSteps thank you for your reply 🙏🏻😘
Hello, maybe you should add this video to the "Karma Explained" Playlist. Good evening :)
Love the part with meditation and the banana, is happening often to me 😂😂😂😂😂
Spasiba
First of all thank you very much for your videos, you are changing my life in so many ways, you can't imagine how blessed I feel after hearing your teaching. Thank you! you are also giving me motivation to expand my knowledge and invest myself in my spiritual journey, I hope that one day I can meet you in real life!
Furthermore I have a question, i don't know if it is the right video to ask about this subject in the comment section but as we are talking about consequences of our action, I would like to ask, is it possible that, when I had to break up with someone that I felt was bad for me, right in my guts, like I had to do it, and then really few times after I have done it, my life felt much better inside me and outside myself, I had very good news and all the things I was worried about started to resolve themselves, I don't know if that is related or not
Aimene, thank you for your sencere feedback! Everything is connected - our senses, our thoughts and our body. If you’ve solved a problem or an obstacle, it gives you the strength to move on.
🙏💕
Namaskara Dada, This is one of the great videos on Karma theory. Greatly explained andI enjoyed every part of it. Eagerly waiting for the next part.
@48:36 You have mentioned one of my favorite Subashitas.
Just as an info for others who do not know this, I give below the complete Subashita and its meaning.
"Vayamiha parithustaha valkalaihi, tvam dukuulaihi.
samaiva partihoshaha naiva sheso visheshaha.
Sahi bhavathi daridraha yasya trushnaa vishaala.
Manasicha parthushte ko arthavan ko daridraha"
This is from Barthruhari's Shatakatraya. Story of a king asking a poor looking sanyasi (Ascetic) what he wants. The sanyasi says he does not want anything from king for which the king gets offended.
Then the Sanyasi says,
"I am happy with clothes made of raw fibers, and you are happy with rich clothes.
Our happiness is same, nothing short and special.
He is poor who has big desires in him.
If one is satisfied in mind, who is poor and who is rich??"
Thank you! Wonderful!
Thank you so much Dada. You answered so many of my doubts. Waiting for the second part where you will discuss how to burn the karma. Many times, I know that there is no use of reacting in domestic fights or situations . But I am unable to control. After listening to this talk , I understand that it has become my Samskara. I would like to follow the spiritual path. I understand mentally which is the right path. But practically, I fail. So I am eagerly waiting for second part of this talk. I really like your lectures and it is such a divine guidance through you for me. Thanks million Dada.... From Kolkata, India 💜
Namaskar, Shailaja. I would suggest to start doing meditation and go through our basic course at meditationsteps.org . It is totally free and it is very comprehensive, it will bring tangible changes in your life.
@@MeditationSteps Thank you Dada. I meditate or I can say, I try to meditate but I am not so regular. With your blessings I will once again follow meditation steps and do meditation more seriously. Thank you Dada
🙏
Namaskar 🙏
Dada, I wish to express a great and tremendous appreciation for you and all your efforts, and everyone at Meditation Tips. Thank you, deeply snd sincerely 🙏
Now, my question.
I had a significant realization, I guess it could be called, whilst listening. I have been aware of most of what you've said, for many years, but suddenly I realized, I could see clearly, that everything, every little thing, that is part of the circumstances of my life, is samskara. The clothes I am wearing, the tea I am drinking, the state of my hair, the place I am in, all of it, is samskara. So my question.
Is there anything that exists, within the circumstances of our lives, that is not samskara? Anything other than, our eternal nature / our innermost, and I would assume, the natural laws, etc. furthermore, do I experience, soley the samskara of others, which is not connected to my own?
If you respond, thank you very much and if not, thank you also.
May you be blessed and filled with love and light. Namo Buddhya. Namaste. 🙏
-CB
what is the song of the end?
Can you reap your consequences without having to experience them "physically" or "materialistically" for example, during meditation, my consequences arise in the form of extreme emotional release (abreaction)
Namaskar Dada
Maaaaany thanks, very deep information in a very simple way. Kindly consider doing video about neo-humanism and PROUT.
😇🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sure I will
Dear dada i have 1 question plz answer.
From ur teaching I understand that good n bad samskaras both r not good, i understand how to stop bad samskaras but not understand how to stop seeding good samskaras further.
Sometimes the Universe is very tired from people's evil minds, greediness, selfishness and lies. People changed, they are not what they were before. their hearts are black and jealous. It is all about balance, however it is in our souls to seek peace and goodness, not in our minds.
Running away from home, will solve the problem ?
Thank you for the video, Dada. How to avoid getting new karma, if you haven't yet had the second lesson? Also, one lifetime is probably not enough to burn all karma from previous lives? What to do then?
In the next video
Namaskar! Dada
Namaskar!
Dada, i have one powerful consequence of my action is... That
I learnt third eye meditation from you tube from some youtuber, who said that you need to focus on third eye so intensily an then your third eye will open
.. And at that time i m not so mature and i did this
And the thing happen is that... My physical third eye start moving and creating sensation of drill and light were coming to me in meditation and at that time i feel so blissful as that i m the one who' s third eye opens instantly
But dada really this was the worst action i do
Bcz after a time it itritiates me
And i cant sleep at night
And i cant focus on breath
And i cant do something with concentration
Because it starts hurting
So so painful experience i get...... Even today i am not able to get rid of this actions reaction
I wanna concentrate but cant bcz third ete start creating heavily painful situation
Dada plz plz plz 😟😟😟😟😟😟
Make a viedo on this or consult me how do i actually get rid of this
I m suffering a lot 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Plz reply me......!!!!
It's hard distinguish the want of ice cream for example as samskara or karma... And it's hard say what is really good or bad for us, like we get pleasure with a big price after or get pain to get a kind of pleasure after. Thanks for the video Dada, but that discussion it's very confuse to me haha. Namaskar!
Very simple! The desire is created by samskara. We do not actually have desire for the object, we aspire to achieve peace by removing the samskara. Once the samskaric thirst is quenched, we finally feel at peace, until a new samskara surfaces.
@@MeditationSteps Ok, but when I do an action to remove the samskara or to fullfil my desire, isn't a karma ? Or is the propagation of the samskara?
Hello Dada, thank you for reading and responding to questions here in the comments. I hope you will consider mine: as I have been engaging with the practices of meditation as you describe, I often become overwhelmed with crying toward the end of the videos. Do people often cry, when they feel the sweetness of Namaskar? It is simply that word which brings me to tears, but I linger on a concern about where my tears are coming from. I wonder also if this emotional 'welling up' can be managed so that my attention to meditation is less hinged on specific feeling? I appreciate all that is provided by this channel. In gratitude.
You have a soft heart and sensitive mind. It is a very natural thing to be overwhelmed wiith emotion when coming in touch with spiritual energy. In time your nervous system will become more accustomed to it, it will not happen so much. In meditation, keep your self on mantra, do not stray and go after the feeling, try to maintain the ideation of consciousness and love towards It.
@@MeditationSteps Thank you, I have been trying.
Sorry I have an unrelated question I frankly do not know where to ask otherwise:
While meditating I tend to get quite tensed up, especially in neck and lower back area. How can I relax while remaining determined focus?
1. Change your understanding of concentration. It is a relaxed awareness and not forceful action. When concentrating, you observe your mind and when the mind has strayed, gently and patiently return it to the mantra and the ideation.
2. Do asanas such as Padahastasana, Chakrasana and Utkata Pashcimottanasana.
3. Before meditation do vyapaka shaoca (half bath, video "divers reflex").
Thank you, this helps very much.
Already it is better and I hope to further improve by thoroughly following your recommandations.
Namaskar 🙏
25:30 , my problem is that I haven't see/experienced the cake, i'm just eating oat meal all day long. To see the cake, some might say that psychedelic drugs can let you see what the cake is like but you will go back as the effect goes away but you still have an image what the cake could be like. What do you say? Is it a good thing to have seen the cake so you know what you are going for?
Namaskar and stay healthy!
But still you are here! It means there is an attraction, your higher layers of the mind are opening up and calling you to explore your higher self.
I realize now why I most likely became so unhappy if all this is true.
Hi guruji, it was very well explained. Thank you!
I have a question though! As you mentioned that sometimes when i meditate I have the urge to eat delicious food or will start imagining about my next meal. Is it craving ? Or does this mean that I shall reap the consequences of my good past actions? Or should I also observe that feeling?
Also, suppose if I cry due to some reason, does that mean I'm creating new sanscara/action?
Yes, this craving is the result of accelerated samskara expression. It is also a result of movement of pranaha through sushumna nadii while cakras are not sufficiently strong. As we develop our cakras we are able to channelize our simple desire to the nobler expressions of the mind. Keep practicing.
If I am not mistaken, Dada, in one of your videos you mentioned that, by doing meditation and kirtan, one purifies his relatives' karma too. Could you expand on this?
We are all connected, if one person changes, others cannot remain the same, they have to also change.
Very nice video i follow all your videos, one req there is a song that plays at the end , pls send me link to this song 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
Here you are! czcams.com/video/OvKvl0AHiQ4/video.html
I was also curious abt this kiirtan dada. Glad it was asked.
Namaskaram to anyone, Buongiorno
There is any video that explain the 5 kosha, the 5 layers of the body?
differences between them and what to take care about and what better don’ t do
Thank you
Namaskar, this is the support team🙏 In this (czcams.com/video/yqz9d70cFYo/video.html) video "Five kinds of conscience" Dada talks about wisdom of the Five Layers and answers your questions.
Best wishes, Meditation Steps🌸
Many thanks for sharing Dada. I have a question, in your videos I have listen about that you have a place where you held retreats and spiritual activities, I would like to know where is this located, and if the programs are all in Russian or if someone that speaks English can attend? I look forward to know this and visit you when COVID is over ✨🙏✨ namaskar
Our programs are in Russian when in Russia. But anyone is welcome to join, because the meditation practice and other things that we do may be done without knowledge of the language. We also have retreats in USA, naturally in English.
@@MeditationSteps where in the States do you have the retreats? Where can we read about it? Thank you so much for the beautiful work! It's changing my life and the life of my loved ones. I'm Russian speaking but living in the States, so grateful for the chance to share your teachings with mom and friends there and my loved ones here. Namaskar
So dada, the people who do only good actions, have good intentions have only good life? They don’t have sorrow?
Yes. But the fact is that in our past we have been less developed and conscious, so we have violated the natural laws many a time.
Namaskar Dada, Thank you for all the efforts put by you and your team in sharing this wisdom. Could you please answer: Can find out whether the disease one has is karmic or not? And can kriyas worsen the symptoms and increase suffering by burning out the karma faster? I was diagnosed with an auto immune disease with symptoms under control through allopathy, but after I practiced the kriya taught by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev of Isha Foundation, my symptoms worsened and I have not been able able to control it through modern medicine (it might just be coincidence that the end of 40 days of doing the kriya twice roughly coincided with my problem increasing). Going through a rough phase since more than a year, I just dont want to create excess karma while experiencing this phase. Thank you once again!
Yes, it looks like a strong samskara, and it maybe accelerated by practice. In the next video, I will be explaining, how do we overcome the samskaras. It is important to take shelter in real Guru, before you start to practice.
@@MeditationSteps Namaskar Dada, I have an unavoidable query related to Kundalini and problem mentioned in above comment, so this platform may not be suitable for asking. Is it possible to get in touch with you through an email id? Or can i ask here? I really need some guidance and do not know of many people who can help.
Thank you
When I sit in meditation I am not going into the half sleep state which is my most blissful state during meditation but I am worried with thoughts and the thought branches out to various thoughts and I loose my mantra... How to gain my half sleep during meditation with awareness... I meditate twice a day
Do kiirtan and lalita marmika before the meditation practice, it should help.
@@MeditationSteps Thank you for the reply, are these mantras or yogasanas... I am a follower of ISHA yoga and Transcendental Meditation... I am really passionate about meditation as it has changed me to the best of my ability.... lately I have a feeling that I am not serving my master properly... how can I impress my divine master and get his attention to me so that my life of meditation can be deeper
Dada, you speak and I write my Paper for Anthropology on what you speak. Have you read Anandamurti the Jamalpur Years?
I have started, but then somehow did not complete it.
@@MeditationSteps I started Elementary Philosophy and did not complete because I cannot understand. To what extent do you believe in the miracles performed by Baba? Also, why is there such an emphasis on battling the world from such a spiritual organization? Hasn't the world invariably become worse since the creation of Ananda Marga? I refer to corporate control, environmental/chronic health issues. And, when I look at Baba, I see an old fat man who looks like Danny Devito. Isn't one supposed to look at a guru and feel bliss? I do enjoy very much the philosophy though. This channel is on point : )
If someone hurts you and then you hurt other people (not the one that hurt you) how can you cancel the hurt you've caused others?
It will not cancel, it will create another reaction in the mind. The neutralization happens when you experience opposite reaction directed to yourself, pleasant or painful.
Why are Christians against Yoga and Astrology? Im just curious as Astrology and Yoga is an ancient knowledge. I am aware they say it is Demonic and I can see how bad energies enter these things... if you are lacking in the knowledge.
But these laws not applicable for illuminati I think
They also have to pay their samskaras.
Karma;
A reflection of the Perfect Balance of the Universe in each and every unique moment of Existence!
Suffering;
the liking and not liking of the inevitable!
'Cause and effect' is an explanation of an illusion! Nice dama, but fiction.
Hell is not existing, stories for children and also heaven no existent. There is only Universe and the soul will be free.
Show the other cheek. End of karma
Act with composure and rationality, that is the secret
🙏
