Man’s Search for Truth

ACCOUNTABILITY TO GOD brilliant rays. He will discern reflections of God in the verdant trees. He will experience the touch of God in the softness of the breeze. Then, while prostrating and touching his palms and forehead on the ground, he will experience surrendering his entire existence at the feet of His Lord. God can be seen everywhere in His creation. Therefore, we need to acquire the eyes to see God in His creation. Then we will be able to feel the presence of God at every moment. ACCOUNTABILITY TO GOD Accountability instils the fact in people’s minds that their freedom is not absolute and that God will take account of everyone’s words and deeds on the Day of Judgement. It is essential that man should have within his reach, a super formula for life’s management. God provides just such a formula—a complete principle for life’s management. Human beings are not like machines, controlled by a mechanical system; nor are they like animals, governed by their instincts. Human beings enjoy freedom. They take decisions about their actions of their own free will. Now the question arises as to how to keep man on the right course, how to make him consistently disciplined in his behaviour. History shows the ineffectiveness of all worldly measures in this connection, whether social pressures, enforcement of the law of the land or the appeals of reformers. The Truth is that for the attainment of disciplined behaviour, it is essential for one to be convinced of the existence of a Power far Superior to himself, a Being Who is aware of man’s activities at every moment.
