According to Jainism, Karma (Sanskrit:
कर्म, kär’mə, kär’mən, Prakrit: कम्म, kä’mmə) means that every action,
every word, every thought produces, besides its visible, an invisible,
transcendental effect. The word karma is commonly understood to mean
“action,” but implies both action and reaction.
Karma in Jainism conveys a totally
different meaning as commonly understood in the Hindu philosophy and
western civilization.In Jainism, karma is referred to as karmic dirt, as it consists of very subtle and microscopic particles i.e. pudgala
that pervade the entire universe. Karmas are attracted to the karmic
field of a soul on account of vibrations created by activities of mind,
speech, and body as well as on account of various mental dispositions.
Hence the karmas are the subtle matter surrounding the consciousness of a
soul. When these two components, i.e. consciousness and karma, interact, we experience the life we know at present.
