Karma and the Power of Thought, Emotion, and Action
Have you ever wondered why certain things happen in your life? Why some people seem to
experience endless joy while others struggle with challenges? The answer lies in a simple yet
powerful spiritual law—karma and the power of thought, emotion, and action. Every thought you
think, every emotion you feel, and every action you take creates a ripple effect that shapes your life.
Master Choa Kok Sui (MCKS), the founder of Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga, explains it
beautifully in his book Beyond the Mind – The Golden Lotus Sutras on Meditation. He says, “The soul will harvest consequences of its actions, both positive and negative. Actions can be generated by thought, emotion, speech, and physical activities or acts of omission.” (Page 9)
This means that everything we think, feel, say, or do—whether good or bad—creates an energy that
comes back to us. Karma and the power of thought, emotion, and action shape our destiny in ways
we often don’t realize. And here’s the best part: you have the power to shape your future by being
mindful of your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Karma and the Power of Thought, Emotion, and Action
Have you noticed how a single negative thought can ruin your entire day? Thoughts are not just
ideas floating in your head. They are real, powerful energies that can influence your mood, actions, and even your destiny. If you constantly think about failure, you attract situations that make you feel defeated. On the other hand, if you believe in success, your actions align with that belief, and success becomes more likely.
So, what can you do? Practice positive thinking. Instead of saying, “I can’t do this,” tell yourself, “I
will find a way.” Small shifts in your thinking can create big changes in your life.
Emotions: The Fuel Behind Your Actions
Emotions drive our choices. When you act out of anger, you often regret it later. When you act out
of love and kindness, life feels more fulfilling.
Every emotion you put out into the world—whether love, gratitude, or resentment—adds to your karma. If you want peace and happiness, start by radiating those emotions. Choose forgiveness over grudges. Choose compassion over judgment. The energy you send out will find its way back to you.
The Power of Words and Actions
Words can heal, or they can hurt. A kind word can lift someone’s spirit, while a harsh one can leave
lasting scars. The same goes for our actions. When you help someone, even in small ways, you
create good karma. When you act selfishly or harm others, negativity follows.
Being mindful of your speech and behavior isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being aware of the
impact you have on others and choosing to uplift rather than harm.
Even Inaction Has Consequences
It’s easy to think that karma is only about what we do, but it also applies to what we don’t do. If you
see someone in need but ignore them, that’s an act of omission. If you have the ability to make a
difference but choose not to, that inaction has its own consequences.
MCKS teaches that being spiritually aware means taking responsibility—not just for what we do, but
for what we don’t do. When in doubt, ask yourself, “Is this the right thing to do?” If the answer is
yes, act on it.
You Hold the Key to Your Karma
Karma isn’t something to fear; it’s something to understand and use wisely. Every thought, emotion,
and action plants a seed. What you plant today will grow into your experiences tomorrow. Karma
and the power of thought, emotion, and action influence every aspect of your life, so why not use
them to create a brighter future?
Start small. Be kind to yourself and others. Be mindful of your words and emotions. And remember,
the more love and positivity you put into the world, the more you’ll receive in return.
Your karma is in your hands. What will you choose today?
