While reading today I came across the following:

Quote:
The Vedic concept of Rita anticipates the idea of karma which was developed later to express the dynamic interplay of all things and events. The word karma means 'action' and denotes 'active', or dynamic, interrelation of all phenomena. In the words of the Bhagavad Gita, 'All actions take place in time by the interweaving of the forces of nature.' ..-[...]
Hinduism has also found many ways of expressing the dynamic nature of the universe in mythical language. Thus Krishna says in the Gita, 'If I did not engage in action, these worlds would perish,' ...
From The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra.

I added the quote about Hinduism because what Krishna says in the Gita is also said, although differently phrased, by the God of the Old Testament.

Karma is very simply the law of cause and effect......you reap what you sow, what goes around comes around, etc.......
