There was a man who thought that if he stole a little wheat from different farms, the others farmers would not notice it while he would have big pile of wheat for himself.
One night he went to the farms and asked his daughter to stand guard while he went for stealing. As he was stealing for the first farm, his daughter shouted,
"dad! Someone is watching you."
He came running out, but saw no one was there. He then went the second farm to steal some more wheat.
Again, the daughter called,
"Dad! Someone is watching you."
He came out running but again he saw no one there. Then he went for the third farm. For the third time his daughter cried,
"Dad! Someone is watching you."
As before, he came running back but saw no one again, This time he got angry.
"Dad, there is someone who is always watching you from above and that is God."
God is often another name for one's conscience. It is one's only guardian in moments of moral crisis. It is the inner voice, which guide us in the right direction. To the corrupt and the dishonest, a sleepy conscience is a source of great happiness and comfort. People who betray others actually betray their conscience first.
