As long as this perverse kind of corrupt a-dharmic 'Hindu' thinking is a controlling factor in the Hare Krishna movement, the movement will be crippled by it, and the establishment of varnashrama dharma will be impossible. Properly educated kshatriyas (dharma protectors) are not paralyzed by speculation about remote causation or karmic analysis paralysis. They know the clear law of God and are able to act immediately to enforce it. Their job is not to ferret-out the remote causes of suffering (the 'original sin' or 'bad karma' of a soul). Their job is to identify the recent and present victims of crimes, and those immediately responsible and guilty of perpetrating those crimes. God's law as dharma looks at the immediate proximate causes of suffering in the social body. The man who beats his wife is guilty of a sin and a crime. The person who abuses a child is guilty of a sin and a crime. Period. It is that simple. These perpetrators are the immediate, close-up proximate causes of their victims' suffering, and the law / dharma is not concerned (nor can it be) with any more remote causes. Exoteric law and justice in a dharmic society functions only due to the cause and immediate effect of 'karma.' Philosophers and theologians may be concerned with remote or even 'original' sin as causation, but the law of the state dharma protectors is concerned with present crime prevention, crime identification and punishment. Dharma protectors are also concerned with criminals making restitution to injured society and individuals for the sufferings caused by their crimes. Before the law, there are definitiely innocent and guilty parties, victims and perpetrators.
By immediately dealing with the perpetrators of sins and crimes, dharma protectors address the immediate causes of suffering in Purusha's varnashrama dharma sacramental (mystical, incarnate) social body. This is called 'justice.' The brahmins and kshatriyas are supposed to define and enforce God's law / dharma. They are not supposed to philosophically justify and excuse evildoers, or protect the perpetrators of sins and crimes from their victims! They are supposed to protect (by both the pen and the sword) the most vulnerable, and all other members of the varnashrama dharma social body from a-dharmic sins and crimes. How can there be varnashrama dharma without such justice? Justice delayed is justice denied. Thus God sends his law in the form of dharma shastras and dharma protectors to establish varnashrama dharmic civilization. Without identifying the immediately guilty and innocent, dharmic civilization is impossible.
