Sugata Bose : If you cause suffering to others, suffer shall you in turn. This is the inviolable law of karma.
Gargi Sengupta : কতটা ঠিক জানিনা।
Sugata Bose : It plays out over innumerable lifetimes and is a rather complex process that often does not show up in ordinary linear terms. Hence, the effect of deed done remains often inscrutable but the resolution of karmic forces must have their full play-out for it is the rigorous law of karmic causality that binds it to be so.
The same principle in a variant way holds true in the world of physical Nature as well where determinism at the macroscopic level plays its due part. But at the microscopic level of particle behaviour this strict causality gives way to probable occurrences following quantum principles.
Transferring planes now, even karma has both causal and probable aspects to it. Otherwise, the concept of divine grace cannot be admitted. Also, there are loopholes, Sri Ramakrishna said, in the workings of Maya, and here he may have foreshadowed future developments in science as scholars of the morrow will read into and discover. However, coming back to your doubt about the veracity of the statement made by me, ''If you cause suffering to others, suffer shall you in turn. This is the inviolable law of karma.'', there is a case to be made about it and I have underlined my position on it in the light of the above explanation or, perhaps, its lack of it.
