God reveals Himself to us in two ways. First is as the silent Witness in our heart. Therefore we should remember that He is watching us as well as watching over us. Hence our actions should be such that we can do without hesitation before Him. The rules of the mind about right and wrong are made by the ignorant human mind and they are useful when we are journeying in the darkness of human ignorance. The purpose of these rules is often to keep us tied safe within a narrow human spectrum and thereby save us from extremes. They are also meant to keep the social order intact. That is why we will see that different societies have different set of rules and even the same society, if it is progressive, keeps updating the rules according to the context and the Age. We have to discern individually; we cannot establish a standard rule for everyone.
However with regard to God as a Witness we have to feel the truth within the depths of our heart and act.
But God is not only the universal Witness, His is also the Power and the Omniscient Will governing the creation. He is a dynamic Presence in our life who guides, helps, supports us through the human journey. In this sense our actions should be best aligned to the Divine Will within us. We cannot say that we can indiscriminately do anything because God is the sole doer. He acts differently in each one depending upon the stage and degree of inner evolution and the need of the moment. We have to receive His inspiration in an inner quietude and try to act in alignment to His Will.
Affectionately,
