Original: ` Karma ' is an Indian religious concept in contradistinction to ` faith ' espoused by Abrahamic religions ( Judaism , Christianity , and Islam ) , which view all human dramas as the will of God as opposed to present -- and past -- life actions .
Simplified: Other Hindus , such as the Mimamsakas , reject such notions and see karma as acting independently , considering the natural laws of causation sufficient to explain the effects of karma .
