If the consequences of the sins committed by you do not visit you immediately, that need not give sense of relief. The retribution will come later to your children, and even to your grandchildren or great grandchildre.. similar to the land which is sown with seeds.. it may not yield crops immediately, but the seed with germinate and the plant would grow and give yield in due course.
