Most people adhere to the illusion that if no one is around to watch or judge them, they can do as they please. Operating under this illusion, they feel free to commit all kinds of transgressions and even crimes. In reality people are never alone. They are constantly being watched by the invisible world which records their thoughts, feelings, plans and actions, and their entire future depends on the quality of what has been recorded. To behave impeccably in the visible world (even scrupulously respectful of pedestrian crosswalks and red lights!) does not prevent you from finding yourself in the midst of problems, suffering, and torment, simply because you have transgressed divine laws. Never forget there is a committee before whom all of us must constantly appear to account for ourselves. The day you truly succeed in conquering certain weaknesses and establishing harmony within yourself, you will receive a diploma. This diploma will be displayed on your face, on your entire body, and the creatures of the invisible world who notice it will offer you their respect and their help.
