The author comments on an article by Ejaz on social work practice in India. Ejaz’s identification of Karma with fatalism is criticized as misleading. The law of Karma can make a unique contribution to bereavement counseling. The usefulness of the law of Karma is that it brings a sense of containment rather than control. A case illustration involving a female client grieving the loss of a daughter by suicide is discussed. (3 refs.)
