Dharma

Karma is only half of the coin. Dharma is the other.

Karma: The actions that one does in relation to one’s dharma, and the ‘debt’ that accrues from bad actions.
Dharma: Duty in this life. Dharma is dependent on your birth and time of life, i.e.- the circumstances of your surroundings and what you can do to impact them.

Forgiveness (kshama) – Letting go of things that don’t necessarily serve you.

Control of senses (indraiya-nigrah) – Meditation and life force control.
