Karma literally means action or doing. Any intentional action whether mental, verbal, or physical, is Karma. It is "thought, word and deed". Good and bad action, moral and immoral volition constitutes Karma. Involuntary, unintentional or unconscious actions do not constitute Karma, because volition, the most important factor in determining Karma, is absent.
So next time you snake someone, remember...you may soon be the snakee...
"What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others." ~Confucious
"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." ~Galatians
"...it is within your own hands whether or not you engage in action." ~Dalai Lama
"Whatever karma I create, whether good or evil, that I shall inherit." ~Buddha
"Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein." ~Proverbs
"What you do is what you are." ~Lao Tse
"Our deeds determine us as much as we determine our deeds." ~George Eliot
"What goes around, comes around." ~Willie Nelson
"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice." ~Carl Spackler
