Enron’s president, Ken Lay, passed away last week. So, I guess even God lost money on that Enron deal. I believe the official cause of death was listed as “karma.” The family asked in lieu of flowers, please send some elderly retiree’s entire life savings.
Jay Leno
Every act of charity, every thought of sympathy, every action of help, every good deed, is taking so much of self-importance away from our little selves and making us think of ourselves as the lowest and the least, and, therefore, it is all good.

Swami Vivekananda

The Buddhist, who thanks no man, who says “Do not flatter your benefactors,” but who, in his conviction that every good deed can by no possibility escape its reward, will not deceive the benefactor by pretending that he has done more than he should, is a Transcendentalist.

Always remember this. You don’t live with the consequences of other people’s karma. You live with the consequences of your own
Amish Tripathi
The final battles are the samskaras of good karma. They prevent Samadhi. Naturally for a religious person the avoidance is intensive. They are so hung up on good karma and on method.
Frederick Lenz
Our patterns are well established, seductive, and comforting. Just wanting for them to be ventilated isn’t enough. Those of us who struggle with this know.

Frederick Lenz

Today I don’t have to fit into anyone else’s emotional atmosphere.
Louise Hay
Enlightenment is represented by Sri Krishna, who is said to be an avatar.

Henry David Thoreau
Each day try and go through the day with an attitude of being a servant to the world. You’ll benefit the most – and the way will be joyous.
Frederick Lenz
In the beginning all souls were as a unity to the God-Force. As self added or subtracted that which was in keeping with God’s purpose, ye added or subtracted from the blessings ye might be conscious of in materiality. Thus karma is builded. And the law is perfect – what ye sow, ye reap.
Edgar Cayce
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

Frederick Lenz
Oppressive bastards, think they own the place. I told them that karma’s going to kick their asses.
Laurie Halse Anderson
You don’t understand. I only prostitute the part of the body that isn’t important, and nobody suffers except my karma a little bit. I don’t do big harm. You prostitute your mind. Mind is seat of Buddha. What you do is very very bad. You should not use your mind in that way
John Burdett
To be selfish, greedy and unwilling to help the needy gives rise to future starvation and clothlessness.
Gautama Buddha
Just as one can make a lot of garlands from a heap of flowers, so man, subject to birth and death as he is, should make himself a lot of good karma.

Frederick Lenz
You cannot fail unless you quit.
Abraham Lincoln
Karma is not fate, for man acts with free will, creating his own destiny. The Vedas tell us, if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil.

Eileen Caddy
I definitely consider myself a Christian. There’s things that I believe in, there’s things I have a self-belief on. I know I got a great relationship with God and the universe. I just believe in being a righteous person and karma. Doing unto others as you would have done unto you. I really want to help teach that.

The karma of immediate availability is the condition of your awareness field. The karma of potentiality is what is stored inside you from your past lives.
Frederick Lenz
Karma is the record of services. Karma is the term used in Buddhist teaching. Taoists use the term te. Christians us the term “deed.” Many other spiritual beings use the term “virtue.” Karma, te, deed, and virtue are the same thing but in different words. To understand karma is to understand all of these words.
Zhi Gang Sha
There is no heaven for me and no hell. And certainly not any Karma.
Henry Rollins
Karma is only in space time and causality. Your real self resides non-locally.
Deepak Chopra
The endless legacy of the past to the present is the secret source of human genius.
Honore de Balzac
If we look further, we see that we actually contain all of existence. Everyone who has ever been or will ever be, is in some way contained in our awareness. Our awareness is like the sky, it’s endless.
Frederick Lenz
Selfless giving is like putting on make-up. We’re covering up a part of ourselves thats not very aware. The thing is when we take the make up off, the selflish part leaves us. We are freeer, clearer.
Frederick Lenz
Each man has a mission in life, which is the result of all his infinite past Karma.
Swami Vivekananda

One’s own karma, one’s own actions are responsible to come to bring either happiness or success or whatever.

Karma isn’t fate. Nor is it a punishment imposed on us by some external agent. We create our own karma. Karma is the result of the choices that we make every moment of every day.

Julien Offray de La Mettrie
You cannot do a kindness too soon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we first showed the Karma in January 2008, we had barely started the company.

I was the naughty kid that the teachers liked. I bullied a kid in the 1st year when I was in the 2nd, who then hit puberty like a plane crash and grew into a gorilla who bullied me when he was in the 4th year and I was in the 5th. That’s Karma.
Simon Pegg
Reaction and non-action both create karma, but conscious action transcends karma.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Though we can’t always see it at the time, if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. We are always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves.
Swami Satchidananda

Selfless giving is being nice and there are times we don’t want to be.

Yannick Noah
Karma is the root cause of success and failure in every aspect of life.
Zhi Gang Sha
A temptation is the universe’s gracious way of allowing a soul to evolve without creating negative karma. In other words, a temptation is like a magnet that draws to awareness, negativity, that would otherwise create negative karma if it remained unconscious. A temptation is a dress rehearsal for a negative karmic act.
Gary Zukav
You can’t get there alone. People have to help you, and I do believe in karma. I believe in paybacks. You get people to help you by telling the truth, by being earnest.
Randy Pausch
The reason why we’re not happy is because we believe consciously and subconsciously that we’re separate from god, eternal awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Christ didn’t have to. Buddha didn’t have to. They came back to teach. They came back to die, to suffer, when it was no longer necessary for them to do so.
Frederick Lenz
We have a saying in Tibet: If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can’t be solved, worrying will do no good.
Heinrich Harrer
The yoga of selfless giving is easy for anyone to practice. The key is detachment. The spirit is unattachment to results.

e. e. cummings
The most important thing in the world is to hold your soul aloft.
Gustave Flaubert
The attitude you have as a parent is what your kids will learn from more than what you tell them. They don’t remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.
Jim Henson
The consequences of our actions take hold of us, quite indifferent to our claim that meanwhile we have ‘improved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I always thought that Mario was kind of the bad guy – because if you knew about the game, there was supposed to be a back story where Mario was teasing the ape, and the ape stole his girlfriend, and this was kind of karma for Mario, you know?
Rich Moore
The secret of karma yoga which is to perform actions without any fruitive desires is taught by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is experience, and experience creates memory, and memory creates imagination and desire, and desire creates karma again. If I buy a cup of coffee, that’s karma. I now have that memory that might give me the potential desire for having cappuccino, and I walk into Starbucks, and there’s karma all over again.
Deepak Chopra
The basic idea of karma is not punishment. Karma presents the opportunity for development; to make use of opportunities that were not taken advantage of, to fill in gaps of ignorance, to enlarge understanding through experience, to do what should be done.
Seth
I have learned of this great force and will never test the boundless energy of what is karma.
Ronnie Radke
Move with the flow. Don’t fight the current. Resist nothing. Let life carry you. Don’t try to carry it.
Oprah Winfrey
I have this system where if I buy three or four new things, I give away three or four things. Sometimes, it’s a very painful system, but shopping is even better when you know that someone else who needs it will be getting. Keep the clothing karma going, I say.
Sara Blakely
Karma is simply the law of cause and effect in action. All moments and occurrences are caused by other moments and occurrences that preceded them in an endless, causal chain.
Frederick Lenz
Free will exists within each of us. Most people choose not to use their free will, so consequently they rarely alter their karmic patterns.
Frederick Lenz
Each individual has to burn out his own karma and escape from the chains of maya (illusion), reincarnation, and all that.
George Harrison
I think we all follow our destiny, we all have karma, we all have certain life paths and life journeys that we have to take.
Bebe Buell
Is there Chance? No. There is karma. Karma causes all things to happen. There is only one thing karma cannot decide, and that is how far you will evolve in this lifetime.
Frederick Lenz
One has to reap the fruits of his karma. The law of karma is inevitable and is accepted by all the great philosophies of the world: ‘As you sow, so shall you reap.’
Rama Swami
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
Dalai Lama
What we have done, the result of that comes to us whenever it comes, either today, tomorrow, hundred years later, hundred lives later, whatever, whatever. And so, it’s our own karma. That is why that philosophy in every religion: Killing is sin. Killing is sin in every religion.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Well, yes, I could give up for myself but no, there are others whom I will be able to help and they’re waiting for me and if I don’t complete my task, if I don’t do this perfectly, then what about them? They’ll suffer.
Frederick Lenz
If I hear ‘Karma Chameleon’ one more time, I swear I’m going to find Boy George and make him eat Jesse’s record. What does red, gold, and green have to do with anything anyway? (Gloria)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
But this was what happened when you didn’t want to visit and confront the past: the past starts visiting and confronting you.
Bret Easton Ellis
The point is to create a system where individuals don’t work simply for money or personal gain but to support the planet and its inhabitants in entering the next stage of evolutionary progression.
Michael Beckwith
What you give, you become.
Neale Donald Walsch
When we judge, we create negative karma. When we say of an action: ‘This is right,’ or, ‘That is wrong,’ we create negative karma.
Gary Zukav
The whole thing of life and all the answers to everything are in one divine law, Karma action and reaction.
George Harrison
If your life is based around your being comfortable, you’re not very comfortable. You suffer quite a bit – becuase in the realm of the senses there is not only pleasure, but there is pain.
Frederick Lenz
Life itself is selfless giving. We’re not given this life just for own amusement and pleasures.
Frederick Lenz
On days where I feel the karma is in balance I’m not afraid of death. And when I feel it’s weighing heavily on the negative side, then I get very scared and just think about eternal damnation and how unpleasant that would be.
Will Oldham
My karma doesn’t seem to be a big screen karma: it’s definitely a little-screen karma.
Mariette Hartley
You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.
Eckhart Tolle
If you just keep giving constantly, if you don’t really take thought of your own welfare and your own awareness, but just give, beyond exhaustion – then your life will always be a constant progression.
Frederick Lenz
We have two choices in life: One is to fulfill ourselves. The other is to take the time and energy that we would utilize in fulfilling ourselves and use it to make others happy.
Frederick Lenz
The difficult opponent is the best.
Frederick Lenz
In the Bhagavad-Gita, a dialogue ensues in the middle of a battlefield, symbolizing the battlefield of life which we are fighting through our illusions.
Frederick Lenz
As you pass through this life, have you done all that you really wish to for others?
Frederick Lenz
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
Confucius
I’m probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I’m able.
Neil Patrick Harris
Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.
Earl Nightingale
We see the one light, the one unified reality that we see in others, is the same reality that is within ourselves. We are one with all of existence.
Frederick Lenz
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.
Eckhart Tolle
We try to fulfill ourselves, even though our inner voice tells us to become all that we are – still, we run from it.
Frederick Lenz
Some persons choose, rather than stay in immortal bliss all the time, to come back for others.
Frederick Lenz
Regardless of what we do, our karma has no hold on us.
Bodhidharma
I believe in karma… that means i can do bad things to you all day long and assume you deserve it.
Scott Adams
The most giving souls are those who give when they don’t have to give, who could just walk away from this world and its suffering and merge with eternal existence and bliss forever.
Frederick Lenz
All states of mind have different views. On the higher plateau, opportunities will open to you because you can see them.
Frederick Lenz
Even a good self will create another good self in the next life, and another one, and that good self will never be enlightened. You’ll be bound, life after life, by good karma.
Frederick Lenz
A fool will seek revenge, the wise man will allow God’s karma.
Keshia Chante
Karma means that through your thoughts and feelings and actions, you are generating a state of mind. That state of mind has a view. That view will cause things to happen to you or not happen to you.
Frederick Lenz
I’ve seen ‘karma’ slap people in the face. You have to be good to people. It really does come around.

Frederick Lenz
Eternity, I don’t know what’s right or wrong, good or bad. I may be doing what’s right or I may be deceiving myself. So instead, what I’m going to do is give my life to you.
Frederick Lenz
What motivates someone who’s become wealthy to go out and work in the ghetto with those who are poor? What motivates one who has perfect health to go and work with the sick? If you understand – then you understand the root and cause of all existence.
Frederick Lenz
Karma is a medicine which is given for our own good. Karma is the law of compensation, not of vengeance.
Samael Aun Weor
Selfless giving is the art of living.
Frederick Lenz
On Sofia Coppola’s 16th birthday, way back in 1987, I stole a lip gloss from her Sistine Chapel of a bedroom. Years later, I left a Chanel lip gloss in the reception of the Mercer Hotel for her. You know why? I believe that you’ve got to fix your karma.
Courtney Love
You could sit around and feel sorry for yourself or you can go out and do things for others.
Frederick Lenz
A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma.
Sri Yukteswar Giri
Your believing or not believing in karma has no effect on its existence, nor on its consequences to you. Just as a refusal to believe in the ocean would not prevent you from drowning.
F. Paul Wilson
Karma is not a cop-out. The esoteric meaning of karma is that you are who you are, because of what you have done and who you have been.
Frederick Lenz
I have this tattooed on my left side! I love the saying and it’s a perfect description of Karma, don’t judge/discriminate and don’t do to someone what you wouldn’t want done to you.
Plato
Karma is real, it balances the universe.
Ronnie Radke
A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.
Chanakya
The burden of Karma is heavy. All alike have heavy debts to pay. Yet none, so the Wisdom teaches, is ever faced with more than he can bear. Whether or not we can grin, we must bear it, and it is folly to attempt to run away.
Christmas Humphreys
The path of bhakti, karma and love as expounded in the Gita leaves no room for the despising of man by man.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth burns up all karma and frees you from all births.
Ramana Maharshi

Frederick Lenz
The person who gives selflessly in this lifetime immediately goes into a better state of mind. That is instant karma.
Frederick Lenz
I never kill insects. If I see ants or spiders in the room, I pick them up and take them outside. Karma is everything.
Holly Valance
What other people think of me is none of my business. One of the highest places you can get to is being independent of the good opinions of other people.
Wayne Dyer
You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap.
Glenn Hoddle
Once I turned pro, I was like,’ OK, this is not fun and games now. This is me. I’m going to come, and I work on karma. I’m not going to go after somebody if I don’t have a reason behind it, so as soon as there is some sort of a reason for me to do something that I need to do, then I’ll do it.’
Nate Diaz
When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Dalai Lama
I guess one of the ways that karma works is that it finds out what you are most afraid of and then makes that happen eventually.
Cheech Marin
Good karma leads to rebirth also. The desire for higher states of mind is a desire. When you are fixated on higher states of mind, you don’t become enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
My karma just ran over my dogma.
Barbara Johnson
Buy other authors’ books when you go to their events. Even if you aren’t going to read it. Even if you are going to give it away. Even if you aren’t interested. Not just for the author but for the bookstore. It’s karma and just plain good manners.
M. J. Rose
Life works on strange laws of nature (Karma). One never knows when a friend turns enemy & vice-versa. Rely on your Self; self-reliance
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
To the worldy man Karma is a stern Nemesis, to the spiritual man Karma unfolds itself in harmony with his highest aspirations.
William Quan Judge
Everyone experiences desire. Desire is not bad. There is no good or bad from the point of view of karma. There is only structured reaction.
Frederick Lenz
The liar’s punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
George Bernard Shaw
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
Dennis Wholey
Finally, we see that there is no one and nothing but God.
Frederick Lenz
You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back.
Wayne Dyer
We’re not aware of the joy of our own immortality. When we give to someone else it opens a doorway and gives us the vision to see those we give to are God. As we see this in others, suddenly we see it within ourselves.
Frederick Lenz
For every action there is a reaction. Karma can be examined within the structure of an hour, a year, a lifetime, a thousand lifetimes.
Frederick Lenz
Even though my first marriage broke up, I’d say that I’ve had two good marriages and two good men. I’ve been very lucky. I like to think it’s karma because, in a relationship, I give 300 per cent. I’m straight with my men, and I like to think it comes back.
Suzi Quatro
Follow your passions, believe in karma, and you won’t have to chase your dreams, they will come to you.
Randy Pausch
We meet no Stranger, but Ourself.
Emily Dickinson
Karma brings us ever back to rebirth, binds us to the wheel of births and deaths. Good Karma drags us back as relentlessly as bad, and the chain which is wrought out of our virtues holds as firmly and as closely as that forged from our vices.
Annie Besant
When you’re a good giver you’re a good getter.
Russell Simmons
Your choices are really very limited. They are limited by your level of awareness. If you can change your level of awareness radically, then you can change your destiny.
Frederick Lenz
