A Traveler's Suffering: Judgment for Intentional and Unintentional Deeds

   Once there was a traveler who love to visit places with his vehicle, he ended in many places. One day he came to a town of conservative people and unintentionally but unfortunately hit someone's vehicle in a tight road where other vehicles were parked beside the roads.

   Then, the people around that place shout over the incident, call one another and beat up the traveler. The owner of the hitted vehicle was no exception.
   Even if the traveler tried to settle the matter with talks and money, they don't listen. Blood was spilled but the conservative people were not content yet. They wanted the traveler to pay the price for the damage but they demand him way more than what should be payed.
   The traveler denied as he realize he need justice, he call on to the king who was a wise and fair judge. Instantly, the people there as well registered a case against him to the king to save their own ass.


   When they all come before the king, the king saw the traveler with bruise and blood, and he let the owner of the damage vehicle and whoever sided with him tell their accusation against the traveler. 
   Then, the king made a judgment for one side, the people, 'Ten gold coins each for the damage, and time and energy that would be spent on it.'

   The people were so happy that they whistled and applauded over the wise judgment of the king, and they began to disperse to go home.
   But the king hit the gavel pad with its gavel, 'Order, order in order, the case of the other side is yet unsolved!'

   The conservative people were jolted, stared at the wise king with awe for a few seconds as they have thought they would go free and the traveler would be left alone without justice for him. Then, they all went back to occupy the place which they once have occupied.

   The king gave time to the traveler to related whatever he wish.
   The traveler raised his arms, 'I hit the vehicle without intention but the people beat me up so severely and injured me with intention, and you made me fine tens of gold coins. Lord, bring for me justice as you bring true justice for them, O Lord, my King.' The traveler pleaded to the king with tears.

   The court room was full of murmuring at that instant but the king gavelled to bring silence and attention, 'This is judgment for all who are involving in this case, according to their involvement:'
   The people looked as if they have no courage to look at the king's face as they rub against their hands.
   '1. Ten gold coins for having violence mind,
   2. Ten gold coins for intention to hurt your own fellow man,
   3. Ten gold coins for not listening to your fellow man's plea first,'
   The king announced the judgment, his judgment one by one,
   '4. Ten gold coins for violence,
   5. Ten gold coins for the blood the traveler lose,
   6. Ten gold coins each for his injuries,
   7. And, ten gold coins each for all the time and energy applies to the matter.
   8. And, five years imprisonment or else repent!'

   The people complained but the king hammered the silence wood again, 'Okay, if that is so, here, another sentence for you violent people, 'life time imprisonment for never going to repent!'
   (Violent people have got to give the right answer to the king in their life time or else that would be the judgment they got against their violence from the eternal King of Kings)
 
   'That is the true justice that the righteous people, who have not seen justice will see later, and that too is so very very near,' thought the traveler as he went home rich, 'never take justice in your hand if you want justice, righteous justice, my fellows.
   Though the righteous people of God suffers a lot from the injustice of men which worldly men calls justice,
   They will see justice, righteous justice in the end.
   Because of the injustice they suffered patiently,
   They will be extremely rich by the fine payed by the unjust people who had made their life misery,
   And on the other hand, they will see the unrighteous people burdened with their extremely heavy fine and punishment, which are the price of the deeds of their hands, yes, the deeds of their heart, soul and mind, justly bestowed by the justice, righteous justice of the righteous King,
   And being over laden with fine and punishment, they will fall to the ground, their fine and punishment on top and never rise again and never ever will they be seen again by the righteous people.'


   VERSES

   Though the flowers blooms but fades in the end on this earth,

   And thought the promise that they would fade not anymore yet comes not to stand,
   Though the eternal dawn is yet not dawning and day yet not come,
   And though they appears that they would never comes,
   Surely, I bet all I have, with my life that they will surely come to stand forever and ever.
   That much I have faith in the promise of the Lord God my Father who is the Father of all things.
   And that much I would do on my faith: betting my life for His Glory.

   I wish I can give it more but there is nothing left to bet.
   Yet, if I have tens of thousands of life and hundreds of thousands of gold,
   I would begin from the starting point and stop in the end line, doing the same thing.
   What should I do apart from this?
   Where should I go after this world end, Hell or Heaven?
   Life does not belong to any man, should not it be spent for the glory of Him who give life?
   Therefore, whatever I do I do and would do only for my Lord's, my life's, glory
   And bet all I have and my life: all my heart, soul and mind on Him.

Do Not Follow Your Heart Story

   A young man came walking out from a monastery with a happy feeling face toward the market. Confident, he entered shop to shop in search of a job but 'no vacant post' was most reply.
   When he entered one shop, there was no one keeping it but he found a golden lamp in the shopkeeper's table. 'Oh, what a luck,' he murmured as he rub the golden lamp to make sure it is made of gold, then put it in his pocket, kissed a beautiful photograph hanging behind the shopkeeper's chair and out he went.

   When the shopkeeper and his assistant came in from the back door after finishing the stockroom little work, the shopkeeper found out that his golden lamp was gone. He rushed past the door screaming 'thief, does anybody saw a thief?'
   The shopkeepers around the market quickly gathered before his shop and relate to him about a young man who entered his shop but the young man was out of sight.
   Then, the shopkeeper quickly called the police.

   The police did their job well and brought the young man before the owner of the golden lamp, 'I did not steal it. My teacher taught me to follow my heart and I was merely following my heart. Here is your golden lamp. I also kissed the woman in the photograph, should I unkiss it, but I think I'm falling in love.'
   The shopkeeper rest his forehead on his palm, 'Oh, man, that's my wife! People like you would even rape someone, loot and rebel against humanity if you keep on following your heart. But I will forgive you and save you from punishment, if you are going to follow the Truth.'
   'Why is that?'
   'Because the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, do not follow your heart but know what is right and wrong, truth and false and follow what is right and true. If you agree, you are free to go and seek the Truth. But, your teacher is a false teacher and we will punish him if he do not stop his evil work.'

   The young man went back to the monastery, came before his master, 'you are a fake teacher, if not lost.'
   The master blushed before his students sitting before him, 'What evil has gone into you?'
   'The heart is the most deceitful above all things but you taught me to follow my heart. I did and I was also almost falling for a housewife. If the shopkeeper was not kind, I would have been going through punishment now,' the young man grabbed the false teacher's chest, 'But I will forgive you and save your from punishment by not testifying about you if you are going to stop teaching falsehood but the Truth.'
   (Here, false or lost teachers have to give the answer about what the lost teacher in this writing has to reply to the young man.)

   The lost teacher looked puzzled but came to sense, 'Then, I know no Truth which you are talking about! Shall we both seek out for It?'
   'But, where?' the young man raised his shoulder as he showed his palm opened.

   Having had employed the mind more than his students, an idea came into the mind of the lost teacher but because he had a willing mind as well, 'the shopkeeper.'

 
   Thoughts for the Day:

   * We all will stand before God and everything we say and do will be revealed and judged.
      Whatever one introduce and teach will be credited to him.
      And whoever follow him will be a strong witness.

   *# Do not follow your heart, it will make you cry if you do.
        Guide your life with conscience and follow the Truth, you will be happy in the end.
