You always hear about "good karma" and "bad karma," but if you understand the nature of Karma, it doesn't have a positive or negative side - it's just plain Karma! "Karma" is a actually a Sanskrit word that means "act, deed, action, or performance." Looking at the definition, you may be inclined to wonder what all the fuss is about. Karma itself is completely neutral - it is the Law of Karma that keeps many of us in line.
The explanation of Karma varies slightly per tradition or philosophy, but the basic principle remains the same: "You reap what you sow" ... "what goes around, comes around" ... or (if you prefer) "an eye for an eye." Karmic philosophy may have its roots in religion and spirituality, but even the most scientific mind cannot dispute that, "every action causes an equal and opposite reaction" - in other words, the purpose of Karma is actually to restore balance.

What It Is and What Can It Do For You
Karmic perception
Most of us tend to think of Karma in terms of punishment and reward. When good things happen, we attribute it to good Karma, and when things go awry, it must be our bad Karma kicking in. It is our perception of the effect of Karma that allows us to view it as good or bad, not the Karma itself. Ultimately, we are praising and blaming ourselves for our past actions and deeds. Likewise, we've all had those vengeful moments of praying that Karma will be the hand of retribution when we perceive that we have been wronged by the actions of another.
The nature of Karma
Karmic Law is all about responsibility - it states that our deeds, thoughts and actions create our past, present and future. Therefore, it is the Karma we have created that shapes and molds how things in our life unfold. Ultimately, the pain or joy we have created for ourselves and those who surround us, will circle round and find us again - back to the point of origin.
Karmic effect
Karma always gets her due. Sometimes she just waits a couple of lifetimes. While this may hardly seem balanced or fair, ultimately, it has to be. That's Karma's job. While we may not remember deeds of past lives or every action in this life that brings our Karma into play - when Karma is present, balance is being restored.
Karmic purpose
Karma maintains balance in the universe. In order for that balance to be maintained, living things must learn their lessons to live consciously and responsibly with a view that extends wider than just themselves. This is the path to enlightenment.
Enlightenment brings understanding. And when we have greater understanding, it becomes easier to see that Karma just is.
