We’ve all said it at some point.
“Leave it. Karma will take care of them.”
It is one of those words that slips into everyday conversations without much thought. A friend gets cheated on, someone cuts the queue, a rude colleague gets promoted, and before long, someone brings up karma.
Over time, the idea has become so popular that it is often reduced to a simple formula: do good, good things happen; do bad, bad things happen. But the concept of karma is far more layered than the internet often makes it seem. Different Indian philosophical traditions explain it in different ways, and many everyday beliefs about karma are actually oversimplifications.
Here are five misconceptions that are worth rethinking.
