HOW DOES CHITRAGUPTA MAINTAIN THE RECORD?
In human society, there are two departments for punishing the violators of law- namely the police and the court of justice. The police arrest the accused, collect the evidence and present these in the court of law. Thereafter the process of justice takes over. The judge delivers the judgement after considering all aspects of the offence and related circumstances. Depending on the circumstantial evidence, individuals are handed down varied sentences for the same type of offence. Let us consider an example. Three persons are accused of killing a person. Because of different circumstances associated with the crime, one is set free, the second person is sentenced to five years of imprisonment and the third is sent to the electric chair.
The person, who was released, was a mason. While working at an elevated label, he had accidentally dropped a brick, which killed a passer by. The presiding judge found that the brick was dropped accidentally and unintentionally, without an ulterior motive. Hence the accused was released without punishment. The second accused was a farmer. Finding a thief stealing his crop, he had given him a fatal blow, killing the offender. Taking the circumstances, which prompted the offence, the judge considered that though it was natural for the farmer to show his anger on finding someone stealing his property, nevertheless, since he had over-reacted to a small offence, a sentence of five years imprisonment was given. The third person was a notorious robber who had robbed a rich man and intentionally killed him in the process. In this way the worldly court of justice pronounces judgement after minutely examining all circumstantial evidences.
In the inner-mind the secret recordings of Chitragupta discharge the dual responsibility of the police and court of justice. In the material world, if the prosecutor presents inadequate or false evidence, the judgement of the court is likely to be unfair, but in the inner occult world there is absolutely no possibility of such miscarriage of justice. The inmost mind, being the direct and transparent witness to all physical as well as mental activities of a person, is wholestically aware of the intentions, motives and circumstances of each and every action. Being wholestically informed, the secret mind does not require the testimony of the external mind to arrive at a conclusion. In Divine Justice the gravity of a sin (vice) or merit of a virtue is decided on the basis of the motive and degree of emotional involvement with the deed. Whereas in the material world objects are measured materially on the basis of their mundane worth, this measure is irrelevant for dispensing Divine Justice. The material world may ignore a poor donor of ten cents and admire a person donating ten thousand dollars, but in Divine Jurisprudence the worth of such acts of altruism will not be assessed on this gross physical basis.
