If your asking about "karma", those lessons are not direct. Say you have no empathy for animals, you will be given a pet that you learn to love. Your not going to get three kicks to the shin becasue you kicked a dog once.
I think that perhaps the text's interpretation hinges, like in so much of all reality, in what you seek. Understanding is a terrible thing, like a great foundation stone, otherwise immovable. To seek it, is to seek recognition of a singularity of meaning. What we find is often changed by how we come to find it.
All humans are constricted by their perspective. Judgement is a concept, to place in the universe a thing perceived. The Bible from which the text is derived, always was construed as being about the totality of human existence. Whether this was the explicit intent of the author, or authors, is a matter of conjecture at this point.
I think the ultimate "lessons" about judgement was ultimately meant to invoke conscientious humility and diligent focus in regards to evaluating (judging) other people... but that is, only an interpretation.
Interpretations, however, do not exist in a vacuum; they swim in an ocean of other interpretations... with many of us often seeking to find harmony in their collective presence... to better refine the dance of human life. To validate it's value.
Perhaps "Karma" is just an idea of what 'is.' It's an ideation incorporating human life in that dance.
How the idea of karma evolved in different societies serves to demonstrate another constant of human existence.
Whether extended to the mechanistic, or refined to the subtle, it is synchronously 'a judgment'... an interpretation of the observable, expressed in language.
(Language is equally the solution of the challenge of human existence, and the cause of many of our disconnects, I think. But it is the tool with which we must work...)
