Amish Tripathi is an author, broadcaster and former diplomat from India, whose award-winning writings run the gamut from historical fact to mythological fiction.

In one of his best-known works, The Shiva Trilogy, he wrote of his views on our individual karma as it relates to the evil in the world:

“It is your karma to fight evil. It doesn’t matter if the people that evil is being committed against don’t fight back. It doesn’t matter if the entire world chooses to look the other way. Always remember this. You don’t live with the consequences of other people’s karma. You live with the consequences of your own.”

– Amish Tripathi, “Shiva Trilogy #2: The Secret of the Nagas”

Published in 2011, The Secret of the Nagas speaks to us in the context of today’s world events as never before. As individuals, we tend to think there isn’t much we can do to change things. But collectively, the good far outnumber the evil . . . and the will of the majority is how major political changes have always, ultimately, been achieved.

Don’t worry about the bad guys’ karma; it will come to them.

Consider your own.

Just sayin’ . . .
