Karma is responsible for birth, existence, and death.
It holds sway over all stages of life as the very deity of human existence.
It is responsible for joy and sorrow.
Karma (action) is the very life breath of a human. Every human being has to undertake karma keeping in mind the possible result of the karmas.
This is the most important duty of a human being. As the karma, so will be the result. One has to keep good health, not merely physical health but mental health too.
Thoughts and resolutions should also be healthy. Good thoughts result in good karmas. When one undertakes karmas with evil thoughts, the result will also be bad.
Who made the bats to hang from the branches of a tree with their heads downward ? Has anyone tied them upside down out of hatred? No, it is their fate.
Likewise, nobody can escape from the consequences of karma. A human being does bad karmas, entertains bad thoughts, and ultimately encounters bad results.
On the other hand, one who entertains good thoughts and undertakes good karmas enjoys good results. It is not possible to get good results by doing bad deeds.
A small example: when one writes correct answers for the questions in an examination, one will get good marks, and vice verse.
Undertaking bad deeds denotes animal tendency. One has to analyze at every stage whether one is behaving like a human being or an animal. When you indulge in bad deeds, even your neighbours will restrain you, saying, "Being born as a human, why do you behave like an animal?"
Thus, one is ridiculed and punished even by a fellow human being. When one resort to evil deeds, one need not have to wait for long till God decides to mete out the punishment.
By doing a bad deed, a good result cannot be achieved;
By doing a good deed, bad results will not accrue;
