A neat comment because it emphasises the benign Creator. However, karma occurs within a world that He did not create. The Creator cannot be anything but completely beneficent. Hence, this world of karma could not have been created by Him / Her / It. This means that the world of karma is illusory.
Secondly, we can never know whether we are creating that karma or it is the result of past activity, whether individual or group activity, so it is unwise to gloat at others. It seems, the attitudes of forgiveness and compassion are critical to alleviating karma.
Karma is a symptom of the illusory world. We must foces on contact with / aligning with the Creator. Remember Arjuna & the archery contest. How did he win but by focusing completely on the eye of the fish. In this case, we must focus on our sacred Hearts / going within.
Q: We were told about karma and reincarnation, evolution and Yoga, masters and disciples. What are we to do with all this knowledge?
M: Leave it all behind you. Forget it. Go forth, unburdened with ideas and beliefs. Abandon all verbal structures, all relative truth, all tangible objectives. The Absolute can be reached by absolute devotion only. Don't be half-hearted

And now I'll get off my soap box
Fascinating stuff, isn't it? It pulls some of us in.
Creator is not a being/person/place/thing. Not a noun.
Instead creation is creating - a verb. Unfolding moment by moment.
Karma lies within that creation, as we co-create with the Creating. Likewise, we can Create an unwinding of karma, as creation unfolds.
Now I'll get off my soap box! <3
That is also my current but constantly re-shaping way of coneceptualizing: I see God, Creator, the Absolute not as an entity but a process.
Is this what they call "Causal?"
My guru said I could never see the "Causal," but he was also full of shit. (I was, too - process again) That's been 25 years ago now?
