It is worth noting, as Yasna 31.3 reminds us, that it is not enough for each of us to achieve renewal for ourselves, although that is a necessary first step. We will return to this thought later. In Yasna 31.8, Zarathushtra again refers to the consequences of wrongful choices. The next key is what I call the law of consequences. Taraporewalla called it the law of action and reaction.
Some people call it karma.
It is hinted at in Y30 and 31, and expressed more clearly elsewhere in the Gathas. It is part of the law of asha . 8 Asha literally means, what fits . It also includes that perfect justice which generates the law of consequences that what we do comes back to us the good and the bad. The objective of the law of consequences is not punishment.
