Karma is the spiritual equivalent of Newton’s Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Lag Time: In simple physics, the reaction is often immediate. In Karma, there is a "Delayed Feedback Loop." The consequences of an action may take years (or lifetimes) to return. This delay creates the illusion that we can escape the "System."
Path Dependency: Every choice you make restricts or expands your future options. This is Causality. If you plant a seed, you are "locked in" to the growth of that specific plant. You cannot plant a thorn and expect a rose.
The Accumulation of "Vasanas": These are the "subconscious imprints" left by our actions. Think of them as System Habits. Every time you act, you "tune" your internal Monochord toward that frequency, making it more likely you will act that way again.
It is the principle that every action (the "Input") creates a ripple in the field of reality, which eventually returns to the source (the "Output").
Researcher Note:
Don't think of Karma as "Punishment." Think of it as the universe’s Quality Control. It is the system trying to return to Equilibrium. If you pull a rubber band (Action), it must eventually snap back (Result). If you want a different "Snap," you have to change how you "Pull."
