It's what you deserve (5)

I believe the answer is:

karma

(Other definitions for karma that I've seen before include "Lifetime's actions that set fate for next life" , "Retribution" , "(In Hinduism or Buddhism) this decides one's fate in a future existence" , "Buddhist fate; destiny" , "In some philosophies, one's lifetime actions that set fate for the next life" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
