The Universal Law of Karma

Underlying the grand world drama

Is the universal Law of Karma.

A simpler law there could hardly be.

It's the profoundest of all in reality.

It says we get all that which we give.

We must know this if we are to live

A worthy life and have peace of mind.

Constantly ourselves we must remind

That what we give, we’ll get in return,

All our actions' fruits we shall earn,

In this same lifetime or a future one,

Being repaid thus for all we’ve done,

Of thought, word and physical deed,

Reaping of what we’ve sown seed,

If it’s good, it's good back we’ll get,

And evil actions will by evil be met.

If of this Law we’re constantly aware

How good our life will surely fare!
