Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. Karma literally means “deed, or act”.
Think of karma as the spiritual equivalent of Newton’s third Law of Motion.
For every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, yet opposite in direction.
That is to say, that whenever an object pushes another object, it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.
Everything we have ever thought, spoken, done or caused is karma. Also what we think, speak or do, this very moment.
Discussions of karma were first referenced in the texts of the Puranas, a vast genre of Indian literature about a wide range of topics, particularly myths, legends and other traditional lore.
