Kukarma (कुकर्म) or Pāpakarma refers to “selfish, hateful acts”, which will bring suffering. Benevolent actions (puṇyakarma or sukarma) will bring loving reactions. Karma (“action”, “deed”) is a neutral, self-perpetuating law of the inner cosmos, much as gravity is an impersonal law of the outer cosmos. In fact, it has been said that gravity is a small, external expression of the greater law of karma. The impelling, unseen power of one’s past actions is called adṛṣṭa.
