THE PROOF OF THE HEART:
The heart is also the seat and foundation of justice. Thanks to the greed of man, people of today overturn the very base of justice, by turning justice into injustice and vice versa. Today the courts are not the seats of justice, it is only the human heart which is the seat of justice. All religions uphold the supremacy of justice. , the prophet of Islam, laid down stern punishment for crimes committed by the people. The punishment which he prescribed for a crime was a hundred lashes. Once, it was found that his own son had committed a crime and bowing to the inexorable law of justice, sentenced his own son to a hundred lashes. His son gave up his body at the fiftieth stroke delivered by the whip. When the executors asked what should they do about the rest of the fifty lashes, he ordered them to deliver the strokes on the tomb of his dead son. See ’s tenacious adherence to justice, which transcended the barriers of ‘mine’ and ‘thine’! How sacred! How sublime! But, the law courts today, said to be the seats of justice, flagrantly flout all codes of justice by favouring its own people. People explore the intricacies of law to extricate their own kith and kin from due punishment. It is no justice if it is besmirched by meanness and narrow-mindedness. Sage expounded the supreme law of justice.
