Karma Quotes About Life – Good & Bad Karma Over Time
Karma is often thought of as a kind of cosmic justice system in which our good and bad deeds come back to us, either in this life or the next.
Many religions and philosophies believe in karma, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Taoism.
The concept of karma can be traced back to the Vedic scriptures of ancient India.

Some believe in it and some don’t – but is it worth the risk to not believe in it?….

The ego takes everything personally, leaving no room for higher guidance or purpose. If you can, realize that a cosmic plan is unfolding and appreciate the incredibly woven tapestry for what it is, a design of unparalleled marvel.” Deepak Chopra
