One of the best ways to understand Karma’s influence is through the microcosm of school and college life. Here, every action (cause) has a corresponding consequence (effect), demonstrating how Karma is the fundamental force shaping our reality. You are wondering how. Right? Let’s explore five key parallels between school life and Karma to illustrate how the law of cause and effect is the fulcrum of existence itself. 1. Homework and Future Readiness: The Karma of Effort • I know this is cliche. In school, students who diligently complete their homework and revise their lessons daily perform better in exams, whereas those who procrastinate struggle at the last minute. • Similarly, in life, the karma of effort determines long-term success. The more one invests in self-improvement, the better the rewards. • Just as knowledge accumulates over time, good karmic actions (helping others, discipline, sincerity) compound to yield a better life. Moral: What you sow in preparation, you reap in results. 2. Cheating vs. True Learning: The Karma of Integrity • A student who cheats in an exam may pass that test, but when faced with real-world applications, they will be left clueless, unable to perform. • In life, short-term manipulations may yield temporary gains, but the karmic law ensures that deception eventually leads to failure, while honesty builds long-term credibility. • The one who genuinely learns is equipped with skills that help them succeed, just as a person who follows Dharma (righteousness) builds strong karmic merit. Moral: Shortcuts might give you temporary relief, but Karma ensures long-term accountability. 3. Group Projects and Team Dynamics: The Karma of Contribution • In group projects, some students work hard while others free-ride, but eventually, individual skills get exposed—either in grades or in real-world situations. • Likewise, in life, someone who consistently helps and contributes to their community earns trust and respect, while exploiters lose support over time. • The student who works hard in group projects may feel burdened at first, but Karma ensures they develop superior skills and confidence, setting them up for future success. Moral: The more you genuinely contribute, the more life rewards you. 4. Popularity vs. Character: The Karma of True Value • In college, students often admire the most popular individuals, but with time, real character becomes more valuable than surface-level charm. • Those who build relationships based on values rather than superficial appeal find stronger, lasting bonds. • Just as fame fades but true respect endures, karmic fruits work similarly—selfless people cultivate deeper, more fulfilling connections than those who chase validation. Moral: Karma rewards authenticity over momentary social appeal. 5. Attendance and Opportunities: The Karma of Commitment • Students who consistently attend classes, even when they don’t feel like it, find themselves prepared when opportunities arise (internships, competitions, scholarships). • Meanwhile, those who miss out often regret it later when they realize they lack the knowledge or credentials required for success. • In life, consistent effort, even in small amounts, creates pathways for greater success. Karma ensures that commitment pays off, while negligence leads to missed opportunities. Moral: Small acts of discipline today shape big opportunities tomorrow. Conclusion: The Unwavering Law of Karma From school life to adulthood, the same karmic principle governs our reality: every action has a consequence. Just like students can’t expect good grades without studying, life doesn’t hand out rewards without corresponding effort. Whether in moral choices, relationships, or career development, karma ensures that what we invest is exactly what we receive. Thus, school is not just an institution of academic learning but a laboratory where the laws of Karma play out daily. Recognizing these patterns early helps us align with Dharma, ensuring that our present actions sow the seeds of a brighter, more fulfilling future. As in school, so in life—karma is the ultimate teacher.

Gurubhyo Namah! This post is about the various factors that need to be checked to find if the Arishta bhanga or cancellation of death-causing combinations are seen in a horoscope. I will be listing them shortly to primarily help in removing the fear that self-made astrologers or beginners will feel when they see some signs of Arishtas in the chart. E.g Moon in the 8th. Stay tuned.
