What is Karma?

The word Karma is the most popular word in India as well as in western too, but very few of them only knows the real meaning of it.

One child take birth in a very rich family has a lot of servant from birth and one take birth in poverty even can not get proper food to eat. One is so beautiful and other one is so ugly, one is involved in sinful activities and living a very happy life, and one is involved in pious activities and living a very miserable life. In a class one child getting good marks and one bad although teacher is same for both.

What is the concept and logic behind it? So here is the Karma which we are going to discuss about.

The actions performed by us, as well as the result of the same as termed as Karma.

In Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna explained to Arjuna, one may not go into the deep of Laws of KARMA because it is very difficult to understand. 

कर्मणो ह्यपि बोद्धव्यं बोद्धव्यं च विकर्मणः ।

अकर्मणश्च बोद्धव्यं गहना कर्मणो गतिः ॥ 4.17 ॥

The intricacies of action are very hard to understand. Therefore one should know properly what action is, what forbidden action is and what inaction is.

There are three types of Karma:

1. Karma (Action)

2. Akarma (In Action)

3. Vikarma (Forbidden Action)

There is pious action termed as Karma and sinful actions termed as Vikarma and action performed to please supreme personality of Godhead (Krishna) is Inaction.

So understanding Karma and Vikarma is very difficult, we may calculate something good but in the eyes of others it may be bad. But no one can skip from it, whatever we have done in our past, we have to face in our future either today or tomorrow but definitely one day.

There are majorly three types of fruits of our Karma:

1. Prarabhdh (Fructified): Our past actions are ready with it"s fruits and now we have to face it any how we have to suffer it. One has to suffer for his actions performed in past.

2. Aprarabhada (Un-Fructified ): Actions which we have performed in our past is now like a seed, it will take time to give the fruit. But after certain period of time it will be like Prarabhada. It can be removed if we do regret on our past karma and make promise not doing again the same in future.

3. Agami (Arriving): The action which we are going to perform will create reaction of it. We have control on it.

How can we get out of it?

There is no way we can skip out of our Karmic reactions but when we take shelter of Krishna our all actions/reactions get vanished. So, if we want to get out of our Karma and it's reactions then without any more delay we must take shelter of Krishna.
