Karma is the result of thoughts, words and deeds that stay with us birth after birth until we live out their consequences – as you sow, so you reap. The law of Karma can be considered as a universal law of cause and effect.

Karma refers to both “act” (or action) as well as “results of thought, word and deed.” In the context of rebirth, Karma refers to the latter – the idea of cause and effect. Any thought, word or deed, that is not performed dispassionately with no interest in the results, yields Karma. Well-intentioned acts yield positive Karma (or Punya) and ill-intentioned acts yield negative Karma (Paapa). Such consequences have to be lived out.

What is Karma? It is the Principle of Cause and Effect

Every intentional action, be it body, speech or mind, is like the seed you plant: It will grow when conditions are right. It will be the kind of fruit that you planted. As you sow, you shall reap.

As you are free to choose the kind of seed you wish to grow, choose prudently:

Sow as many good seeds as you can! Both in the world within and without.
