In yoga philosophy, Karma is the law of cause and effect. Every action you take has a consequence, whether immediate or in the future. Positive actions lead to positive karmic reactions, while negative actions result in what we know today as 'bad karma

It is rightful action without being attached to fruits or being manipulated by what the results might be, a dedication to one's duty, and trying one's best while being neutral to rewards or outcomes such as success or failure.

Concept. According to Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, Karma yoga is the spiritual practice of "selfless action performed for the benefit of others". Karma yoga is a path to reach moksha (spiritual liberation) through work.
