No Room for Forgiveness: It is obvious that the past karma
will not be forgiven. If it were to be forgiven then His world
will become an unruly unjust place. Thank God that it is not
so. Every karma of ours is rewarded whether it is of positive
nature or negative nature,
papa
or
punya,
virtuous or vicious,
loftier or sinful, whatever it is. His justice mechanism is perfect
like all His other attributes are. He is all-in-one — the witness,
the judge — the omniscient infinite spirit. Thus, there is no room
for any human being to claim that he/she can get his/her special
petitions sanctioned. Nobody could ever and can ever get our
sinful acts condoned. If anybody claims so then it is a BIG
LIE or that peisOn speaks out of childish immaturity.
Nobody Died for Someone Else's Sins: The absolute justice
mechanism means that one who has committed the sinful acts
will be punished. To punish someone else for another person's
crime is unimaginable even by ordinary human standards. So
how could such things happen in God's way of administering
the justice? If a teacher awards high marks to one who wrote
wrong answers and low marks to another who wrote correct
answers in an examination then the layman will be quick to
point out that such an arbitrary way of awarding marks amounts
to injustice to both the students. If this is so in the day-to-day
human world then how could such things happen in God's way
of working that He would punish somebody else for another
person's sinful acts? Furthermore, how could someone claim
that another human being was punished some centuries ago
for our present day sinful acts? All this goes against rational
thinking even by ordinary human standards. Vedas are very
clear on this aspect that every human being must be watchful
of his acts. Of course, the purpose of the Law of Karma is to
encourage us to be on the righteous path and desist from the
sinful acts. Indeed, His Law of Karma and associated justice
mechanism is an infinitely benevolent mechanism for our own
good so that we may become progressively a better person.
