Karma as defined in many scripts and Vedas is something which you do and how it reflects in your current life and thereafter, most popularly believed that, whatever good deeds you have done in your past life will reflect in your present life. To be born as human in itself is libration form all the past lives you may have been through.
As a human you have a chance to get one with the creator and attain moksha.
According to Buddhist teaching, the law of karma says only this: `for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.' A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things. The principle of Karma is that for the good actions one performs one receives good reactions, and if one inflicts pain or violence on others, one will suffer equal violence either in this life or the next.
I am a born Hindu, and I practice Hinduism to the best of my knowledge, and what I have learnt from my parents and guru. According to me the law karma is similar to the modern day law of Newton for every action there is equal and opposite reaction.
From very early in my life I was taught about service. Service for the sake for satisfaction and not for reward, if a reward has to come it will come. whenever I help someone I do not expect the same person to help out when I need, I do my part of my service ,I m happy that I came of some use to someone. By doing that I am eliminating the disappointment, pain and expectation. For me god is there to help me when I need, he will make arrangements when I m in need. The law of karma for me is to do well to the best of my knowledge, find the purpose of my existence and walk on the path of my dharma (religion).
