Briefly
The Jain Karma theory is 'the scorecard of life and
your actions'
The Jain theory of Karma is probably the most
elaborate.
Karma is everything BUT a negative load on our life.
JULY 2016
Jains believe that Karma is a physical substance - a very fine invisible particle - that
spreads throughout
Karma particles are attracted to the jiva (soul) by the actions of the jiva
Law of Cause & Effect; Law of Action & Reaction; What one sows, one reaps
KISHOR BHIMI SHAH
Understanding of the mechanism of Karma leads to total independence. While the Law of Karma dictates what we are experiencing now to be the result of our own past action, the Law - by clearly defining the principle of cause and effect - also lays before us a positive future direction of our own choice and making. It unfolds abilities generally attributed only to supernatural
beings. We achieve this not by fickle divine sanction or by surrending to a guru Through our own efforts, we recognize our own personal path with ever increasing clarity
ONLY WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
AND ONLY WE CAN ALTER IT. NO ONE ELSE CAN!

Karma to our soul
