It seems however, that the Law of Karma itself is very complex and allows for numerous exceptions and special cases making it even more complex than the variety of Karma-s humans perform. In fact, even the Gita acknowledges this in the following words: ''What is action and what is inaction – even the wise are del...")

This intervention can violate the natural implementation of the Law of Karma. Answer: The response to this is- “Divine intervention may itself be regarded as an outcome of the good and bad actions of people. People will get what is due to them on account of their own Karma-s. Wh...")

For instance, an Upanishad says- He whom the Lord wishes to raise to higher worlds, he makes them do virtuous deeds. And whom He wishes to push down to lower worlds, He makes them do evil deeds. '''Rigveda, Kaushitaki Upanishad 3.8''' Therefore, why do human beings have to suffer for doing deeds...")

But, the present universe has a starting point. Hindu scriptures declare that even at the beginning of this creation had unequal abilities and experiences. If inequalities amongst humans are possible at the beginning of this creation, there is no reason to presume the doctrine of Karma or even a just God in present times as well.

This is because one is born into a certain caste etc., due to his previous Karma and therefore, he is ‘supposed’ to suffer from social injustices. Response: According to Hindu scriptures, one is not passively reborn into a certain caste, race etc. Rather, during the last moments of his death, his dominant Karmāshaya and Vās...")

He needs help. Punishing him for his mistakes does not necessarily make him a better person. Instead, an evil doer should be encouraged to change his behavior through proper instruction. Punishing an evil doer with sorrows does not serve any useful purpose. Therefore, the entire theory of Karma, which is based on the justice of retribution, seems to be cruel and pointles...")

For example someone who has chronic pain that cannot be controlled even with the help of medical intervention. Or a child who is abused. Even if they suffer due to their past Karma, is it not cruel on the part of Bhagavān to insist that they should suffer unbearably? Why can’t He just forgive these people, or spread out their suffering? Response: Extreme suf...")

Why do we sometimes see saintly individuals live painful lives or suffer painful deaths? Response: This question can be answered only by pairing the Doctrine of Rebirth with the Law of Karma. As a modern teacher explains- “There is a wrong notion in some people’s minds that a real saint must not suffer any physical illness or mental pain. Thei...")

Not seeing the link between the karma and its effect means that we cannot learn from the consequences of our actions and become wiser and better. Answer: The relationship of Karma and Rebirth as two sides of the same coin is established from other facts like the just nature of the Lord etc. Forgetting our past lives is a ble...")

There are several cultures that believe in rebirth but have no definite views on the doctrine of Karma. Likewise, Abrahamic religions believe in a rudimentary form of the doctrine of Karma but do not subscribe to the doctrine of Rebirth. Secondly, when we are reborn, we become a different person from what we were in our previous life. Therefor...")

If I see someone in pain, why should I help him? After all, he is suffering the fruit of his own Karma. And I do not want to interfere in the Divinely upheld Law of Karma by helping him alleviate his pain. Response: The same sacred Hindu tradition which expounds the Law of Karma also exhorts us to show compassion, serve others and to be humble. Be...")

Even if God gives us the deserved fruit of our actions, the fact remains that any compassionate person step in to alleviate human suffering irrespective of the crimes of the suffering person. But God, who is supposed to be living and perfect, does not step in soon and frequently enough to remove human suffering solely because we are all supposed to be experiencing t...")

If our present is shaped by our past deeds, then why even bother fighting and overcoming our adversities and challenges? If I am poor due to my past Karma, then it was meant to be. It is all ‘Kismet’ (Fate) and no one can change one’s fate. Response: The Law of Karma does not endorse or encourage reliance on fate or fatalism as discussed in Section 13 above. A moder...")

The reason for this difference in these analogous Hindu and Abrahamic concepts is the fact that Hindu scriptures tend to be much more detailed and analytical when it comes to understanding the true nature of human being. The difference of these con...")

The Abrahamic philosophy of Karma is very rudimentary compared to the Dharmic formulations. For this reason, the word ‘Karma’ has become a commonly used term in the English lexicon. Within the Dharmic family, the Buddhists and Jains have very sophisticated theories of Karma but they ignore or deny the role of the Divine in the operation...")

Explains why a just Bhagavān allows apparent injustices in one’s life. For example, why do saints suffer? Why are some children blind from birth. The Law of Karma explains that this is a result of their previous Karma. 2. Explains disparities in the abilities, experiences, entitlements and privileges of different people.
