Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The results or "fruits" of actions are called karma-phala. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward, karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well. It is cumulative.

In Hinduism and Buddhism, karma is the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.
Informally, it means destiny or fate, followed as effect from cause.

Karma is the eternal universal force...
It rewards the righteous and punishes the bad.

In Sanskrit, karma means deed.
The good you do comes back to you,
The evil you do remains with you
