How Do We Produce Different results for Same Karma

I am sometimes intrigued by the way we seem to get results for our karma. Some people get punished by God or nature for small mistakes and some seem to do blunders and sin and still seem to enjoy and they are not punished. In my personal life I have seen that I get punished by god for small mistakes and that also instantly. I don't see myself as a perfect person but it's my endeavor to follow the right path as much as I can.
I have discussed this in our family and also thought over this for a long time. One answer that comes to mind is that this is Kaliyuga and honest and sincere people will suffer in this period. But this answer is not acceptable to me. I believe we will always get results for our actions. I also believe that god cares for us so can not be blind to wrongs of some people and punish others for their small sins. I had written this is my last post. So what's the answer?
I believe we all are in various stages of development. Hindu philosophy tells us about mukti and nirvana. That is the stage when we become free form all sins and desires. How do we reach there? -- by continuously improving us. This is not possible in this birth . We are born again and again till we reach this stage.
Now consider an analogy. A baby while playing drops a costly glass item on floor and it breaks with pieces scattered on the floor. The baby starts crying although he/she is unhurt. what do you expect the mother to do? She immediately rushes to the baby, takes the baby in her arms and checks if the bay is hurt in anyway. She is relieved on finding that the baby. The baby is still crying. So she hugs him, kisses him and tells him not to worry about the item. She tells him that she is happy that he is unhurt. Now consider the bay is not a toddler but a 6 year old. He may get severe scolding and if the mother gets very angry a slap or two . If the child is ten , the mother may react first with a slap . So the punishment grows with age and the maturity expected from us. This does not show that mother love son the toddler. She loves her child at all stages but the level of maturity expected is different. she expects her child to grow and develop and is happy when the child shows that.
Now come to our original question. Since we all are in different stages of development. God as our loving father and mother does not expect same level of maturity and righteousness form all.
Accordingly he punishes and rewards us with depending on our level. If we are on a higher level of development he will be more strict with us so that we do not loose the path. The rewards also become less noticeable when we grow. A mother will be overjoyed when the child takes first step . She will hug him, plant kisses and tell everybody about it. But a ten year old shall not expect the same response from the mother whenever he walks. The mother's love has not decreased; now she expects better and higher achievements from him. Similarly god also expects us to achieve greater things as we grow. So we may find someone doing some charity and reaping huge benefits and others doing better work do not get such rewards.
This is my attempt to understand the way the Law of karma works. Your comments and suggestions will be welcome.

The Law of Karma

Sometimes we see that some very honest and good people are suffering due to one reason or other. We can also find people who are doing all sorts of sins but seem to be enjoying life .
This makes us wonder how can this happen? How can God allow this to happen? Why is God blessing the sinners and punishing the innocent? We may even think there is no god or he does not value honesty and sincerity. But the fact is that God is there as he always was and he punishes the culprits for all their sins. Let us try to understand the principles of karma.
Let us assume you are playing a very sophisticated computer game. At the start of the game you have some powers, some lives to help you. As you proceed with the game you have to cross many hurdles and fight with enemies. In this process you lose some powers and lives. But the game also gives you chances to regain them. While playing you make some virtual friends also who remember you and help you when they are around. Now it depends on your expertise that how you play the game. You can loose minimum power or lives and reach the next level. You can even gain more power. It can also happen that you are not able to pass the first level itself.
Each of your mouse movement, each key stoke is an input to the system. The way you use them decides you loose or gain power or lives. But the result ;i.e. you passed a level or won the game comes in a single moment. If somebody doesn't look at the menu bar showing your power or lives he can not tell you are going to win or loose. But suddenly a screen flashes which tells you the result. It can also happen that you pause the game and start it later. Then the game starts at the same level with all your gains and losses remembered.
Our life also runs like this. Whatever we do will bring us some result. But the result may not come instantaneously. It may come sometime later. How late? Only the programmer,
that is god, can tell. But it is certain that the results will show up. That's why some times we get immediate results and some actions bring us result after some time. If we touch fire we will be immediately burnt. We will not catch cold the instant we enter in cold water. It will take years of studies to fetch us a degree and a job. Similarly some actions give us immediate rewards or punishment for our acts and some actions may be such that the results will show up after along time.
We may have paused the game in between and start after a gap. This is what happens in the next berth. It's just like a pause in computer game. We stop playing for some time when we die. When we start again we start from the same point. That's what happens in each birth. we start with the accumulated rewards and punishments which we could not use in last birth. But as we play along in this birth we may lead pure ,honest lives to gain rewards or we can earn punishment. When we see some good people suffering this may be because of their past sins . similarly some seemingly bad people may be enjoying life because of the good they did earlier. But the present noble acts of a good man will certainly bring him rewards on suitable time and the sinners will be punished.
