Balance/imbalance vs sin

Sin is fundamentally misunderstood. If the harmony is broken and there is imbalance on small or large scale, it would need to be restored, according to the law of nature. The question is if one consciously takes part in restoring this harmony, or if someone else will do it, it won't "make a difference" for the balance itself, but it would make a difference for the one who produces the action. Responsibility is not delayed, because if there is a conscious movement towards balance it is immediate, instant. Therefore there is no punishment, just awareness that in a way everything is falling into place in one or another way actually every single moment, even if we do not notice it.
