E76. The Law of Karma – Part 1 | Gautamji

In this special two-part episode, Gautamji introduces the Law of Karma as the Law of Action, explaining how the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta reveal that we live by choice, not by chance. Drawing vivid contrasts between human beings and other species, he shows how our unique freedom to choose action makes us solely responsible for our present circumstances and future destiny. Through the law of cause and effect, the “bank balance” analogy, and the framework of body–mind–intellect, he unfolds how selfish desire and attachment create agitation, and how building a strong intellect through Vedantic study leads to right action, happiness, and true success.More about the podcast: The Bhagavad Gita is a spiritual and philosophical masterpiece that contains the universal wisdom of life applicable to all human beings.
