The Law of Karma or Sowing and Reaping
The following excerpts are from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. Any emphasis is original.
“Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him; what he gives, he will receive. If he gives hate, love, criticism, lies, cheats, he will receive the same. (p. 7)
****
Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Man’s thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.
This is the law of Karma, which is Sanskrit for “Comeback.” “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (p. 39)
