The philosophy of karma is a fundamental component of cosmic 
law. “Karma” vividly describes various principles such as moral 
justice, cause and effect, and maintaining a balance of the 
universe. Karma is among the most significant aspects in many 
Eastern traditions, like Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The law of 
karma, which is metaphysical, regulates human behavior from the 
perspective of morality and ethics. This law is as important as the 
physical laws, in terms of maintaining orderliness in the universe.
 Cause and effect: “Cause and effect” is a paramount principle 
of “karma.” The principle emphasizes that all actions done by 
humans lead to the corresponding consequences; this can’t be 
avoided. Good deeds pave the way for pleasant circumstances, 
while unethical actions bring about adverse situations. 
Sometimes, the effects of actions can be experienced in future 
births, as well.
 Reincarnation: The law of karma is such that, sometimes, its 
scope is not restricted just to the present life of an 
individual. It means that people can face the effects of their 
good or bad actions in their future births, too. This aspect of 
“karma” encompassing many lifetimes enables a cosmic 
balance that can’t be perceived immediately. The karma that 
an individual accumulates can decide how the course of life 
is going to be for a person in subsequent births.
 Morality and ethics: Karma works as an ethical standard that 
synchronizes human actions with cosmic laws. When 
compared with the varied laws created by humans, the “law 
of karma” is entirely different. Karma does not differentiate 
between people. It applies to every human being, and here, 
the social position or belief systems of people are of no 
relevance. What matters is whether the deeds are good or 
bad.
Here, a salient aspect is worthy of special mention. The 
underlying objective behind the deeds is more significant. A 
seemingly positive deed done with a selfish motive yields an 
outcome opposite to what is anticipated. Thus, the cosmic law 
does not make a judgment based purely on results that are 
immediately visible. The actions must conform to noble values 
such as compassion, truth, and selflessness.
 Cosmic justice: “Karma” represents the principle of cosmic 
justice, which is way superior to the legal systems designed 
by human beings. It might be possible for an individual who 
has done unethical actions, to escape from the legal 
mechanisms of the world. But, that is simply not possible 
when cosmic law is taken into account. At some point of time 
in the future, cosmic justice will be delivered, and 
wrongdoers have to face the consequences of their negative 
actions.
 Spiritual liberation: At this juncture, it has to be highlighted 
that regulating the actions of humans and serving justice are 
not the only aspects covered under “karma.” The role of 
karma is pivotal in the journey of a human being in the 
direction of attaining spiritual liberation, which is called 
“moksha.” It becomes easier for people with good karma to 
get elevated to higher spiritual realms where they are nearer 
to “moksha.”
Once an individual attains this spiritual liberation, they are 
completely redeemed from the cycles of “birth-death-rebirth.” 
When reaching “moksha” is the priority of a person, it’s 
indispensable that their thoughts and actions are in sync with 
cosmic law.
