Man... a midnight snack of Doritos was a really bad call... two Alka Seltzers
and a Pepcid later and my heartburn has almost (*burp*) abated. Damn those
tempting chips and their deadly powdery coating!

no, thats merely a typical western simplification
The law of cause and effect forms an integral part of Hindu philosophy. This law is termed as 'karma', which means to 'act'. In Sanskrit karma means "volitional action that is undertaken deliberately or knowingly". This also dovetails self-determination and a strong will power to abstain from inactivity. Karma is the differentia that characterizes human beings and distinguishes him from other creatures of the world.
The theory of karma harps on the Newtonian principle that every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. Every time we think or do something, we create a cause, which in time will bear its corresponding effects. And this cyclical cause and effect generates the concepts of samsara (or the world) and birth and reincarnation. It is the personality of a human being or the jivatman - with its positive and negative actions - that causes karma.
