Laws, divine - nobody can escape them

02/22/2010

There are people who seem perfectly respectable, who never break a human law, for they are much too afraid of being caught and convicted, but who have no fear when it comes to transgressing divine laws. And yet, divine laws are actually much more terrible than human laws. If you are crafty and smart enough, or just lucky, you can always escape human laws, whereas nobody has ever been able to escape divine laws. Beyond human beings and their limited intelligence there exists another intelligence, watching and recording us, and this is why criminals are always found out and punished, for somewhere they always unknowingly leave a trace. Even a thought or a feeling leaves traces. A man may go somewhere and do nothing wrong, but if he indulges in criminal thoughts and desires while he is there, these register in the subtle world, and the law - divine law - will pursue him. Soon, these criminal thoughts and desires will have harmful consequences in one way or another in his psychic life and even in his physical life.
