What is karma?
Karma is the universal law of cause and effect. The critical and subtler understanding of karma is that each action has a reaction and that this cycle is endless. Thus if one sows goodness, one reaps goodness and conversely, if one sows evil, one will reap evil. To avoid the cycle of karma, Hindus strive to remain unattached to the fruits of their action in thought, word, and deed. When one can work without expecting rewards, Hindus believe that the individual is freed from the cycle of karma and reincarnation.
