Through the power of karma, we are self-creating beings in a self-creating existence. It indicates that the universe creates itself according to its own inner intentionality. Karma is the underlying process of the ‘self-creating universe’. Karma, therefore, means that we are universal creators, not simply helpless products of external forces.
