Are there any justifications for the commonly held concept of karma?

Karma, as people ordinarily conceive of it, refers to individuals 'reaping what they sow'. Apparently the concept originated from Indian religions and I think it was just commonly accepted that it is true. Is there however any justification for it.If God's existence is tried to be justified by theological arguments (Ontological, Cosmological, Moral) is there an equivalent for karma?

I think another way to put it is, is there a proof that karma exists?

The commonly held justification of karma is very different from the traditional conception of karma. The commonly held conception is ridiculous, has no philosophical justification, and is subscribed to by no one who understands karma.

Karma means action. Karma-vipaka is things that happen to you as a result of your actions. This only refers to things that are literal results of your actions. There are other types of vipaka that are results of non-volitional conditions: physical, biological, mental (non-volitional), and spiritual.

The principle of karma, only means that volitional acts contribute to producing your conditions.
