Spiritual Justice.

Response:

Great question. In spiritual terms our actions and their consequences follow from our movement toward enlightenment or self-realization. Our missteps, suffering, and delays along the way are due to our misunderstanding or ignorance of our true self.   I would say on the universal scale, fairness or justice operates because through the force of evolution of consciousness everyone eventually arrives at the goal –enlightenment, liberation, bliss. And justice is also served because through the law of karma, decisions and actions taken that harm others will have consequences that compel the actor to understand and become conscious of how such actions hurt them. And so receiving the fruits of their actions becomes another means through which Existence moves us toward self-realization.
