The following incident apparently took place in New York. Two drivers travelling at great speed crashed into each other. No-one was injured and there was very little material damage. Both drivers admitted that since they had both been driving too fast, they had both caused the accident and they went their separate ways without either of them claiming any damages from the other. A long time went by and then one day, to their amazement, they were both summoned to court. What had happened? A teacher, who had been at the scene of the accident, had lodged a complaint against them. Witnessing the accident had upset her so much that she had become ill, to the extent of no longer being able to continue to work. She kept hearing strange noises in her head. And the courts ordered both men to pay the woman damages. This is a very interesting story, because it brings to light some of the laws governing the invisible world. Two people who caused damage as a result of their behaviour believe they have sorted out the entire matter because they had reached a mutual agreement. Well, not so! A third person, somewhere in the world, may have been upset by them, and justice will one day demand they account for their actions. The culprits will say: ‘But this matter is of no concern to anyone but us.' And justice will reply: ‘Well no, you will have to pay.' And this is how destiny comes and surprises people without them having harmed anyone directly. This has already happened to you, every time you are surprised you have to pay when you feel you are not guilty. This is sure proof that you are guilty after all; divine law has judged it to be so.
