Question: Does it mean that criminals should not be punished, since they execute God’s Will and will be punished by Him for their sins?

Answer: There’s no need to take vengeance, as well as to curse, get angry, or be afraid.

But, we have to fight with evil, to defend others! This is the duty of kshatriya, through which one perfects oneself.

And while choosing the measure of punishment for a criminal, one should not be guided by vengeance, but by the desire to help him or her become better. Only then can the sentence be just and objective. But this approach does not mean that all criminals should be released after having listened to a lecture on morality. Let us see how God acts in such cases and learn from Him!
