Justice is a failed human concept

Humans have tried to artificially apply the concept of justice to create a society. That will never work.

For the seeker

1. Justice is a human concept created by the Buddhi and must be rejected. It requires acceptance of duality for its existence.
2. Justice is actually in-built in the universe through Karma. If I slap you, the Karma of slapping you binds to me. So I have to work to undo its binding. The interesting thing is that I may have to undo the bad Karma of slapping you by doing good instead to compensate for it.
3. If in the mistaken name of justice, you slap me back, then you are also binding the Karma to yourself and you also have to undo it. So, it is better for you to ignore the slap. The notion of doing something bad to me, to return the bad I have done, does not make sense!

For the non-seeker

1. Be very clear whether this is a one life deal or a multiple life deal. The last thing you want is to assume that you have only one life, live like crazy for 70 years, die, and find that you have to spend 10,000 years undoing the crap you just did! Very few people have had the grace of a Guru, to guide them through this problem. Very very few people have been able to use reason to figure out this answer! Without this answer, be very scared to make a mistake.
2. Think about what is the purpose of justice. Is it to deter others in society from committing the crime? Is it to hurt the perpetrator as much as the victim suffers? Is it to punish the perpetrator in proportion to the mistake he has committed? Is it to prevent the perpetrator from repeating the crime? What?
3. Think about the complexity of delivering Justice. Is it ok to only deliver punishment for cases that are reported and proved? Can any judge or jury know 'for sure' what occurred and what the intentions were? If for a particular case, one type of behaviour and judgement was delivered, is it fair to demand the same thing for another case?

I know of a case which went on for over 40 years, after which both parties died! Is it fair for me to demand that every case go on till both parties die? Is it not unfair if a judgement is delivered before death of both parties?

6 men raped and killed a girl in Delhi. This case got a hell of a lot of media attention. Should media be forced to give similar attention to all cases? If you find out that the girl who was raped was heading a WWII concentration camp in her previous life and the 6 men were victims she killed then, does that change your picture of what their punishment should be?


Overall the concept of justice is incorrectly designed and will always fail. The court can only deliver a Judgement, not Justice. The only tangible measure of success of this concept is how comfortable it allows people to be in a functioning society.
