Dr. Vasant Lad on Sadhguru’s Book on Karma

What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtuous acts and sins; the mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action. But what does that really entail? To what extent does that action affect us and do we have any control over our actions?

Dr Vasant Lad speaks about many of the explanations found in Sadhguru’s book, Karma: A Yogi’s Guide to Crafting Your Destiny. He emphasizes that Sadhguru states karma is action, but the important aspect is not to identify with that action or the goal. Conscious action is the key.
