Karma

KARMA refers to a belief and principle deeply rooted in the concept of cause and effect, both in individual and collective existence. This belief extends beyond the human realm, suggesting that KARMA influences health and illness, and perhaps even broader aspects of existence. The principle of KARMA is aligned with the cosmic law embodied by Saturn, emphasizing retributive justice with the aphorism "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." It enforces a strict and unyielding law that rewards or punishes actions and intentions, maintaining balance and order in the universe according to cosmic justice.
