Irreconcilable Paradox

Law of karma states our karma boomerangs We get back what we give Hate begets hate, help gives help If we do bad, bad will happen to us This obviously implies that those who do bad to us are doing so under the direction of God because God wants to punish us Does that mean bad doers are exempt from law of karma? That we should accept all miseries without trying for solution That everytime we do something bad we should see God working through us and not repent But that doesn't happen All are punished for every mistake It seems God is making us do bad deeds and punishing for same. If that's the case why should scriptures exhort us to do good deeds? An irreconcilable paradox indeed 17th Feb 2022 For Edward Ibeh, This or That, Vol 10

Cannot agree with your observations, Rama since karma exists as long as there is a doer, an ego, not otherwise but your poem is undoubtedly adroitly penned. Congrats on your win!

Really wanted to know the answer. I agree so long as I am doer, karma exist. But what about punishment for the same? Who gives. If God through other humans then are they punished under law of karma?
