hidden recording of human actions. A similar hidden recording is being done of every human action by God on a much larger scale. In every path that man treads, there are divine 'wires' and 'cameras' that are continually recording mankind's every deed. Whenever man crosses his limits, God's divine camera system instantly records and preserves his transgression. On the basis of this record, God will proclaim His judgment in the Hereafter. When man-made systems are able to record such traffic violations with so much precision, then consider God's system of recording human acts. Man-made systems have their limitations, whereas God's recording system is all encompassing. This fact is sufficient for us to understand the difference between the two systems. If man were to seriously ponder over the magnitude of this reality he would stop in his tracks; he would be left speechless; his pen would instantly drop from his hands. Man takes advantage of his freedom and violates traffic rules as long as he is ignorant of the mechanism of the camera system installed to catch the traffic violators. As soon as he is aware of this arrangement, his attitude changes to one of awareness and thereafter he refrains from breaking any traffic laws. In the same way, if man were to have the conviction that there is a divine recording system all around him which is recording every moment of his life, including every small and big deed then he will dare not transgress. He will refrain from all misdeeds. He will tread carefully in every act and deal of his life. He will remain a responsible and righteous person. The corruption of man lies in his ignoring this serious fact. His goodness lies in a strong conviction of this reality. o Harmony at Home The best principle for maintaining harmony in the home is the art of difference management. Instead of making futile attempts to eliminate difference, we should learn to adjust to it.
