I believe the answer is:
karma
(Other definitions for karma that I've seen before include "Buddhist concept of inevitable consequence" , "In some philosophies, one's lifetime actions that set fate for the next life" , "(In Hinduism or Buddhism) this decides one's fate in a future existence" , "Hindu principle determining fate in re-incarnation" , "In Indian philosophy, moral actions are carried by the soul into later lives" .)
