Karma. It’s a word we’re familiar with but what does it mean? To me, karma has to do with our actions and how they affect our lives, either good or bad.
According to Sadhguru, yogi, mystic, and founder of the Isha Institute, karma is a bit more complex. And he tries to explain this in his book Karma: A Yogi’s Guide to Crafting Your Destiny.
In Karma, Sadhguru describes destiny as “action or imprint of action, which remains within us.”
For over 250 exhausting pages, Sadhguru goes more in depth about various aspects of karma and how we get wrapped up in it. Karma, apparently, affects us in ways that goes beyond the simple concepts of reward and punishment.
Knowing about karma is supposed to empower us to reach a desired destination. The concepts are supposed to be easily understood. But are they?
Though karma is praised by the likes of Tom Brady, Deepak Chopra, and Rosanna Arquette, I could not get into this book. I found Karma to be repetitive and arrogant. It may have been more feasible if it was a magazine article. And maybe I couldn’t get into it because I’m not Hindu.
However, the “crafting” in the title reminded me I need to get back into crafting.
