A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru.

What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues 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: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior.

In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.

Simply amazing!

Sadhguru is just awesome! I am sure
I’ll be listening to this a few times!

Great and inspiring book!

this is a great guide for those seeking initiation into the wonderful world of Yoga and to dismistify the concept of Karma, which has been poorly used in the Western culture in recent times!
Thank you Sadhguru for your great work of divulgation and sensibilization of human minds to become less egocentric and dive into the kosmic wisdom of universal energy the binds us all together as one single energetic stream! 🙏

A REAL look at karma

What goes around comes around isn't all there is to it. This book is my new favorite!

Another Excellent Book by Sadhguru

I enjoyed this book tremendously, even though I felt like I was not understanding all of it. I plan on listening again to solidify my understanding. I think this is a good book for anyone who is looking for a practical understanding of karma.
