If you had to explain the Jain concept of Karma to a friend who has never heard of it, using one simple everyday analogy, what would you say? (~75 words)

Answer
In Jain Dharma, karma is like fine dust sticking to wet oil on your hands. The soul is naturally pure, but when we act with anger, ego, deceit, greed, or attachment, it becomes “sticky,” and karmic particles bind to it. Good or bad actions bring different results, just as different dust affects cleanliness differently. Through right faith, right knowledge, right conduct, and self-discipline, the soul becomes less sticky and gradually becomes pure again.
