When human beings speak of moral laws, when they either acknowledge and accept them or reject them, they do not always really know what they are talking about. True morality is based on laws established by Cosmic Intelligence; it is not a human invention which varies according to different lands and epochs. Every society has established certain codes of conduct that it considers useful to it. If people do not respect these laws and are then caught, they are punished, but if they do not get caught, they are left alone. Divine justice will not come to punish them, because they have only transgressed human laws. Whereas if they transgress divine laws, they will not escape divine justice. Even if human beings bow before these offenders and crown them in glory, they will still fall automatically under the hand of divine laws, which are the laws of nature. Their peace of mind is disrupted, and they end by suffering either physically or psychically. Obviously, this is no reason to transgress human laws. Not at all! Jesus said: 'Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God that which is God's', which means: respect the laws of your land, but above all, respect the laws of heaven.
