Karma is a concept from Hinduism and Buddhism, literally translated as 'act', 'action' or 'deed'. In both Hinduism and Buddhism, karma encompasses an individual's physical and mental actions that affect their current life and subsequent lives through reincarnation. In everyday use, it often means that everything we do, think or say comes back to ourselves. Karma is thus about both the act and the consequence that comes from that act. Strictly speaking, however, karma only refers to the performance of deeds, not the consequences of those deeds. Karma and its consequence are seen as a natural principle, a law of "action and reaction". So, there is no god at work punishing or rewarding. A good deed naturally has good consequences, bad deeds naturally have bad consequences. Actually, the law of Karman (which governs karma) is above the distinction of good and bad: that is, without judgement. Therefore, a better interpretation is that deeds with certain characteristics cause consequences possessing the same characteristics.
