Naming information
Name origin: Named for the ancient Indian philosophical principle of cause and effect: good actions and intent have good consequences; bad actions and intent have bad consequences. This can also refer to how a person's actions affect who they become. (Note that the various theories of karma are generally much more complex than in popular media descriptions.)

Summary and references
Current interpretations include: "the balance between what we put out and what we receive", and its relationship to situations we experience[1]; the effects of nourishment of all kinds on our wellbeing[2]; personal choices creating our personal karma[3]; how we deal with the decisions we have made, which can involve a sense of guilt whether merited or not, and the circumstances that can curtail our options ("We are always limited in our choices and can only select the best from those available, what may seem a bad choice to one person may in fact have been the best choice available to the other")[4].
