Acts of kindness may or may not be rewarded by Good Karma. By doing something you should do anyway you do not necessarily gain Karma Points....LoL, Further more Your Karma maybe firm from your past lives and you can not change it at all good or bad. However If you can bring your Karma near a balance you can see your Karma Change in your daily life. You'll begin to notice positive change. May not come as what you'd like money but your life should improve.

very person is connected in feeling,thought,action,reactio­n and movement

every action has eqaul or opposit reactions

All the three are involved. The lady is losing due to some past karma. The one who caught is doing some other karma. The crook has also done some karma. Karma is not funny. You are also controlled by karma. Without understanding karma there is not relief from the cycle of death and birth. Robinhood had a good intent, so he will be rewarded for that intent but punished for any bad intent. Karma produces a mixed effect all the time. No absolute good can be gained by karma.

Vancha lkalpa....Youre doing a great service Sri Nandanandana. You have helped to unravel the mysterieis of karma here. Immoral action = more karmic reactions.

[devarsi]

yes absolutely, its quiet an entanglement. The best path is to become free from any karma and by doing so, avoid the continuous repetition of birth old age disease and death. The very pleasant process to achieve this, is called bhakti, the yoga of devotion,which includes chanting the Holy Names of The Lord, like the Hare Krishna mantra. The book to read is the ancient Bhagavad Gita, find a free pdf download on my main page.

So the whole thing on karma is just random because "karma" just means an action. Since we're always doing actions then everything is an action reaction all the time evreywhere
