Yes it's never too late to work on our conscious awareness but but he he is a little too oblivious and unsympathetic of people who have had very tough early years and are dealing with the fallout from that - sometimes for a lifetime. it's a much harder road for these people. Received this copy on Apr 27th, Content in the book try to debunk the myth and distortion corrupting the meaning of "Karma". Once you reach the ending of the book, Your discretion theory of Karma will take a turn towards personal responsibility.

Secondly, it explores Karma yoga and the reduction of different types of karma through conscious practice. Every main topic ends with Sadhana in between to assimilate practice along with the wisdom. Lastly, books end with a question and answers related to Karma. I have lost hours of sleep two nights in a row because of this book. I couldn't stop pressing the gold button for 28 minutes more.

The book aims to completely upend the conventional misinterpretation of the term Karma, and succeeds brilliantly by providing utmost clarity about what it really is! What becomes clear through the entirety of this wonderfully crafted manual is that Karma is the most dynamic way to exist, and brings to fore our own limitations in dealing with it head on. Karma is an elaborate and sophisticated mechanism, but we simply don’t have a grip on it, primarily because we haven’t taken charge of our life and faculties! A book cannot contain Karma as a concept and its intricacies; Karma is an experience that dawns upon a seeker in time. Sadhguru isn’t trying to explain intricate philosophies as well via the book. Through the book, he espouses a way of living that no matter what kind of action you perform, you can make it joyful for you.A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. How did we get to where we are now in life? Where is it going next? Why does the groupthink of society seem to be going in the wrong direction? All of the answers are in this karmic library of experiences, memory, and potential futures. Karma is the natural basis of all existence. It is not a law that is imposed from above. It does not allow us to outsource our responsibility anywhere else; it does not allow us to blame our parents, our teachers, our countries, our politicians, our gods, or our fates. It makes each one of us squarely responsible for our own destinies and, above all, the nature of our experience of life. Form your own understanding where you take an account of your own life with a statement similar to the following: Karma and Karmic balance is entirely and fully a result of my actions, and I alone have the power and responsibility to create and destroy my good and bad Karma. Karma is action. Take action!

Tour de Force from Sadhguru, maybe his best yet. For folks who come from a skeptical or scientific perspective, it's great because Sadhguru speaks to this-he says don't believe anything he says. Why read then? Try it as a working hypothesis and see whether this model captures your experience. I am only about a third through the book but already it is making me think in new ways about how I am creating recurring patterns that I did not even see as patterns before the book, much less see my role in creating them. A crucial aspect is discovering how I am getting new understandings because the book highlights assumptions made about karma, a main one being that it is about reward and punishment for good or bad actions. I think this is a mindset I imbibed unconsciously from the way spirituality or God is understood overall in American culture. The book highlights assumptions like this and offers a different premise to try and I am experiencing this as opening new possibilities for creating my life the way I want it. So karma is not some external system of crime and punishment. It is an internal cycle generated by you.” Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. Absolute clarity of perception places him in a unique space, not only in matters spiritual but in business, environmental and international affairs, and opens a new door on all that he touches.I'm a big admirer of sadhguru, but here he fails to understand the role of of a attachment theory and negative childhood experiences - wherein we can't yet act consciously as our brains don't function at that level at that time, but yet very detrimental and stubborn conditioning is created that can greatly effect people's lives. The earning of good Karma lies in the living of a fully immersed life in every moment, with full vigor, commitment, and intention. To not get tagged by bad Karma, act without expectations or entanglement with the outcome, and always act without bad intention. If you can’t pour positivity into your actions, stop. Don’t do it. Don’t act under obligation, duty, resentment, anger, or ill will. When you do, a minimum, the result will be truncated and diminished, and at worst, it will hurt you now or in the future. To make the action right, get the intention right. Then take action. At last, a book about karma that can be trusted. I have never found a book that explains-and solves-the mystery of karma with the simplicity, clarity, and hopefulness of this invaluable book.” -Deepak Chopra

The unconscious mind is therefore a tremendous library of karmic memory. You will find this information very useful if you were approaching it consciously.”In Karma, Sadhguru brilliantly demystifies the concept of karma and how we can harness our perceptions to change our own futures and, in doing so, create a more sustainable, just, and spiritually enlightened world. If you want to be the change you want to see in the world, read Karma and begin the journey.” -Terry Tamminen, Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
