Punishment is judgmental and can involve contempt, but not all punishments are legal. Sins come from incorrect perceptions, feelings, and intentions, and can be errors, mistakes, misdeeds or crimes that harm oneself or others, making one unaware of the Truth. Not all sins are illegal. Prayashchitta is any action that leads one to realize the Truth. The Truth is a state of unity, connectivity, and benevolence beyond words. Repeating names of God (Namasmarn) can wake one up to realize the Truth.
