Is Karma a Moral or Spiritual Concept?

[Lolita]

Different cultures interpret karma differently. Is karma a universal law of consequence, or a philosophy meant to encourage ethical behavior? How do you understand the idea of cause and effect in your personal life?

The root of Karma lies in Hindu religion, so it is basically a spiritual concept. However, the concept of karma is being overly used across multiple traditions and it is now being understood as a moral concept. It asks you to do good, so that goodness comes to your life.

 

[Urvashi]

Karma sits at the intersection of both. Many see it as a moral idea about actions carrying consequences, while others view it as a spiritual force tied to rebirth or cosmic balance. Its meaning shifts across cultures, but the core idea links behavior with outcomes.
