Kali
Kali, the Mother of all and destroyer of all, is the Shakti that works in secret in the heart of humanity manifesting herself in the perpetual surge of men, institutions and movements, Mahakala the Spirit within whose energy goes abroad in her and moulds the progress of the world and the destiny of the nations. [1] See Mahakali
Karma
The ancient idea of Karma was inseparably connected with a belief in the soul’s continual rebirth in new bodies.
If we believe that the soul is repeatedly reborn in the body, we must believe also that there is some link between the lives that preceded and the lives that follow and that the past of the soul has an effect on its future; and that is the spiritual essence of the law of Karma.
Karma is not quite the same thing as a material or substantial law of cause and effect, the antecedent and its mechanical consequence.
But Karma is more than a mechanical law of antecedent and consequence. Karma is action, there is a thing done and a doer and an active consequence; these three are the three joints, the three locks.
