It is true that one gets intellect (Buddhi) as per his own karma as he has to enjoy/suffer the fruits of his karma and for that Buddhi must also be such as to help that. However, the grace of God always works as it never leaves the Jeeva. So, occasional helps keep coming on the way when he can see that he is wrong and if he rises to the occasion, he can come out of his inertia of going spiritually downwards due to the momentum generated by his karmas.
In real life we some times see people doing unacceptable things or adharmic behaviour and try to convince that what they are doing is correct.
Some times these persons also occupy high positions in society and have high authority.How can they be reformed? Is it because of their karma they behave like that? How can one protect himself or herself from falling prey to such human beings?
In my opinion, we should not unnecessarily try to become the saviours. If God has chosen you for reforming a person, it would happen ... don't bother unless if he/she is your own close relative or friend ... otherwise, it is better to concentrate upon our own karma which can be corrected by ourselves alone. Habit of giving unsolicited advice to unworthy is foolishness.
