Karma

The great, cosmic Law of Karma states quite simply that a being is responsible, and will pay karmically, for any intentional, deliberate activity about which her information is complete. So, an act of good intention, even if it harms others, will create "good" karma. But an act designed deliberately to harm, even if it helps others, will bring "bad" karma back upon its creator.

An act performed in ignorance, especially ignorance of the moral guidelines that govern the cosmos through Love, will create no bad karma.

That is why spiritual education brings with it welcome responsibility.
