Abstract
Humans hold a unique place among living beings due to their remarkable capacity for thought and resilience in facing life's challenges. This quality stems from a deep well of wisdom gained through the pursuit of knowledge, which elevates individuals into sages possessing insights that transcend ordinary understanding. The teachings of these sages relate to the karma theorem, or Daivam, a universal law that dictates that every action has corresponding consequences. This principle binds all beings to a moral framework. As humans interacted with divine entities, the tendency to seek favors without understanding led to a disconnect from genuine spirituality and accumulated negative karma through misguided actions. Hindu philosophy, however, teaches that individuals can change their karmic paths. One can create positive change and harmonize with natural law by aligning with dharma—the ethical order of the universe. By purifying actions and intentions, individuals can influence their destinies, fostering balance within the universe and embodying the ideals of ancient wisdom.
