The DMK’s poster girl, Kanimozhi, answered the public’s call for justice by gracing Tihar. This latest development in the 2G saga answered the popular call amongst the general public to see justice being done. Being a responsible citizen and an ill-informed one in this case, I will refrain from commenting on whether this was right or wrong. But what caught my attention in this case was something metaphysical. And it led me to conclude that God isn’t just, he only recognizes man’s craving for justice through a system of Karma.
Yes, God isn’t just by nature. I view God as being a passive observer to an act of crime because it is another event in the cosmos and also because his system of Karma runs without his supervision. Let’s take Kanimozhi’s arrest as an example and let us assume, for argument’s sake that she took the bribe (just an argument). If the omnipotent God viewed it as an act of crime, something terrible should have happened to her then and there, because God is the Master and popular religions say that He will strike down with vengeance. But no, nothing like that happened. The sweet lord took a good few years to even initiate proceedings against her. And I can only assume that Kanimozhi’s Karma took time to catch up with her while God viewed the crime as another act of Karma.
Funny, isn’t it? A good portion of our life is spent debating on justice and what is right. But the good Lord has a simple answer to all that – Karma. It is bitter sweet. But it must be true as it fits the model that God views us all as equals. In the eyes of God, the perpetrator and the victim are equals who are just living out their Karma. And I believe Dr. Brain Weiss, when he says that once you have lived out your Karma, all including the late Osama bin Laden’s soul will be blessed.
