Destiny, fate (5)
I believe the answer is:
karma
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'destiny' is the first definition.
(I know that karma is a type of destiny)
'fate' is the second definition.
(I know that karma is a type of fate)
(Other definitions for karma that I've seen before include "Hindu destiny" , "(Of angle) more than ninety degrees, insensitive" , "In Buddhism, the sum of a person's existence - determines future" , "Moral quality determining future life (Hinduism)" , "State of life - destiny" .)
