Dharma, Karma and Moksha: The Path of Righteous Living

<h3>Dharma, Karma and Moksha</h3>Three connected ideas shape the Hindu way of living.Dharma is your righteous duty, the correct way to act according to your role, age and situation. Truthfulness, non-violence (<code>ahimsa</code>), and responsibility are part of dharma.Karma is the principle of action and consequence: every action carries an effect. Kind, honest deeds tend to bring good results; selfish or cruel deeds bring harm. Hindus picture life as a cycle of rebirth called samsara, in which karma shapes each new life.Moksha is the ultimate goal, liberation, when the soul is freed from samsara and united with the Supreme Reality. The path toward moksha is built through good dharma and good karma, lifetime after lifetime.<div class="callout">Kenyan context: The law of karma is like the farmer's truth that 'you reap what you sow'. If a learner studies honestly and helps classmates, those good seeds grow into trust and good results. If a trader cheats customers on the weighing scale, the harm eventually returns. Good karma is simply choosing to do right, again and again.</div>
