Life is sacred. It belongs only to the Lord Almighty, the Owner and Ruler of the universes, of the entire Creation alone. To Him all alone.
He gives and takes at His own behest. And He should be left alone to determine its giving and taking.
All the earthly laws need to adjust to His incorruptible and inflexible Laws, Which express His Holy Will. Clearly and unambiguously, He has decreed: “Thou shalt not kill!”
Regardless of the dictates, usually arbitrary, self serving, one sided, hollow dictates of the human laws, the laws of the state, which are collated in what is usually paraded as the “constitution.”
Human laws or the laws of the state, or the “constitution” which merely embodies the arbitrary, one-sided dictates of self serving group of human beings, of earthly human rulers; but imposed on the generality of human beings or citizens of a country, to perpetuate a wrong, decadent and dying social system, a collapsing human order, a collapsing human kingdom.
On the basis and justification of which many unspeakable, untold horrendous crimes are perpetrated and committed against many human beings and institutions, against the earthly weak and powerless.
They are mere earthly human laws, under the banner of which injustice thrives, and is celebrated as just, ideal and sacrosanct by the powerful.
Human laws arbitrarily formulated, encoded, legalised, decreed, imposed and enforced on other human beings with all the instrumentality of coercion, the police, the army, the courts, the prisons, arms, ammunition, the armoury – all constituting what is known as the state.
The state, which is put in the hands of some managers of the unjust social system, whose duty is the preservation of this arbitrary and unjust status quo, which takes care mainly of the self serving and unjust fractional interest of a negligible few.
But not that of the overall interest of all human beings in that country, who call it their home, or who reside in it. And definitely not in the interest of serving the dictates of the Natural Laws, expressing the Holy Will of the Almighty Father in Creation.
These are mere earthly human laws arbitrarily formulated, imposed, enforced and defended by earthly human powers; which can be abrogated by succeeding equally arbitrary human powers. And replaced with new equally arbitrary laws of their own.
They are ordinary earthly human laws, which are imposed and enforced with an overwhelming array of instrumentality of coercion – the state.
As it is in one country, so is it in all other countries on earth. Mankind of today are subjects of various laws embodied in several constitutions formulated by human beings.
To worsen the matter, these constitutions never agree with one another. Nor are they uniform, even within the same region, or same linguistic or cultural bracket or same continent. It is a chaotic world of human laws.
Even within one country alone, it would take many years of laborious scholarly study to understand the constitution. Still scholars and lawyers in this one country dispute on the right interpretation of this single constitution, of what the human laws of their country say. Just in one country alone.
They are mere human laws which have no link with, and which do not swing with the simple, incorruptible, unchangeable and permanent Laws indiscriminately governing the entire Creation.
The Natural simple Laws That take adequate care of the whole, even of the minutest part of the whole; that take adequate, just and fair care of both the weak and the strong equally alike; the rich and the poor, the majority and the minority with pinpoint accuracy, and in an astounding, unfailing, incorruptible Justice.
Laws which treat all equally, which do not favour one individual or group above the other on the basis of language, skin colour, status, belief, religion or region. All human beings are the same before These simple Laws.
Which see and treat all as human beings who are permitted to experience this earth life wearing whichever skin colour, speaking whichever language, equally as nationals or residents of whichever country within an earthly arrangement, that should enable them develop and mature as Willed by their Creator.
Which swing only in Love and Justice for all, and indiscriminately for all. Which bring Peace and Bliss.
They are the Laws Which are the fulfillment of the Wish of Jesus in The Lord’s Prayer, the priceless Legacy He left for mankind: “Thy Kingdom come! Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!”
