In Sanskrit, “karma” means “action,” not divine punishment, but the idea that every deed plants a seed for future consequences. That seed may sprout quickly or lie dormant for years, but when it blooms, the result often mirrors the intent behind the act. As the Bible warns, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,” a truth in life and in politics, where those who wield power without restraint often discover that karma’s memory is both precise and unrelenting.
