"Applied to man's moral life
it is the law of ethical causation, justice, reward and punishment; the cause
for birth and rebirth, yet equally the means for escape from incarnation.
Viewed from another point it is merely effect flowing from cause, action and
reaction, exact result for every thought and act. It is act and the result of
act; for the word's literal meaning is action. Theosophy views the Universe as
an intelligent whole, hence every motion in the Universe is an action of that
whole leading to results, which themselves become causes for further results.
Viewing it thus broadly, the ancient Hindus said that every being up to Brahma
was under the rule of Karma." (William Q. Judge. The Ocean of Theosophy. New York:Theosophical Publishing Company, 1893. p. 89)
