Ancient Wisdom And Karma

Ancient Wisdom and Karma is a book written by Annie Besant, a prominent Theosophist and social reformer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores the concept of karma, a central tenet of Hinduism and Buddhism, which posits that a person's actions in this life will determine their destiny in future lives. Besant draws on a range of spiritual teachings, including those of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Buddhist scriptures, to explore the nature of karma and its relationship to the soul's evolution. She also delves into the idea of reincarnation, arguing that it is a necessary component of the karmic cycle. Throughout the book, Besant emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life and cultivating positive karma through right action, speech, and thought. She also explores the role of suffering and adversity in the karmic process, arguing that they are necessary for spiritual growth and evolution. Overall, Ancient Wisdom and Karma is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in Eastern spirituality, written by a respected authority on the subject.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ancient Wisdom: An Outline of Theosophical Teachings, by Annie Besant.
