Quotes   Karma   Wisdom Authors     Karma is an ancient spiritual Indian concept, central to Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism, referring to the consequences of actions, work, or deeds. It suggests that actions and thoughts have effects, impacting one's life positively for good deeds and negatively for bad deeds. Karma describes the law of cause and effect, where actions (deeds) determine future consequences and experiences for an individual.       Karma is the accumulated sum of one's actions, both physical and mental, that influences their future lives and circumstances. The Karma principle serves as a motivation for moral behavior and an explanation for life's experiences, ultimately aiming for release from the cycle of birth and death.     "As she has planted, so does she harvest; such is the field of karma.
