From Karma to Punishment.


Karma:
Karma means destiny; A concept of karma (along with samsara and moksha) may originate in the shramana tradition of which Buddhism and Jainism are continuations. This tradition influenced the Brahmanic religion in the early Vedantic (Upanishadic) movement of the 1st millennium BC. This worldview was adopted from this religious culture by Brahmin orthodoxy, and Brahmins wrote the earliest recorded scriptures containing these ideas in the early Upanishads. Until recently, the scholarly consensus was that reincarnation is absent from the earliest strata of Brahminical literature. However, a new translation of two stanzas of the Rig Veda indicate that the Brahmins may have had the idea, common among small-scale societies around the world, that an individual cycles back and forth between the earth and a heavenly realm of ancestors.Some traditions (i.e., the Vedanta), believe that a supreme being plays some kind of role, for example, as the dispenser of the 'fruits' of karma or as exercising the option to change one's karma in rare instances. In general, followers of Buddhism and many followers of Hinduism consider the natural laws of causation sufficient to explain the effects of karma.Another view holds that a Sadguru, acting on a god's behalf can mitigate or work out some of the karma of the disciple.
"God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does He make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives you exactly what you deserve."

 The Punisher:
The Punisher is a fictional character, an antihero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita, Sr., and Ross Andru, with publisher Stan Lee providing the name. The Punisher made his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #129 (cover-dated Feb. 1974).

The Punisher is a vigilante who employs murder, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence, and torture in his war on crime. Driven by the deaths of his wife and two children, who were killed by the mob during a shootout in New York City's Central Park, the Punisher wages a one-man war on the mob and all criminals in general by using all manner of conventional war weaponry. His family's killers were the first to be slain. A war veteran of the U.S. military, Frank Castle is a master of martial arts, stealth tactics, guerrilla warfare, and a wide variety of weapons.


Karma in Action: submergence of the Punishers
Beyond the comics book concept, in a world linked more or less by different spiritual forces interacting depending on laws and levels drawn in a way to keep a general balance in the universe, causing the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction leading to what is known as Karma...God as a supreme being plays some kind of role, for example, as the dispenser of the 'fruits' of karma. "a Sadguru, acting on a god's behalf can mitigate or work out some of the karma of the disciple." This traditional view is rooted from ancient religious beliefs an may not always reflect the reality on how God as the creator or supreme being conduct the laws of cause and effect on earth as the owner of humans soul (except those of corrupted souls). Any individual in any part of the world enlightened by Gods guidance can play a role in other individuals personal Karma exercising a universal supreme justice...Often It's Gods decision to guide and orient those holly selected individuals in their demarches to execute the Karma and decide the faith of the deserving individuals, group of individuals or entities...


As in the Punisher comics, with the slight difference in the sens of that those Punishers can be from any part of the world, any appearance, sharing the common point of been chosen by God to enforce Justice. Those holly enlightened individuals often are Gods warriors into establishing the divine justice in the world, and  may not get a rewards while doing Gods work, but Gods wisdom will not let them unrewarded for accomplishing such holly duties.

...Some of those enlightened Individual doing Gods work and executing Gods justice in a world not often fair will be presented in the next post: "Introducing the Punisher".
