'W'riting'Work
not last

Honesty, truthfulness and frankness are the things we learn from this
;ge ou€i'
lesson. \(/e must remember that an offence is an offence whether it is
,,'ecking;
hidden or knorvn. It is a matter of shame to commit an offence. And if
'-ask
ever, some offence has been cornmitted by us, we should have the moral
'rcthing courage to conf-ess it. And we should be prepared to suffer the
be lef
consequences also. There is no shame in going to jail for an offence. The
'.:on tlte
shame lies in committing the offence. Going to jarl and suffering
:q brin"d imprisonment should be taken as penance. Real penance lies in resolving
take
- letter: never to commit the offence again.
.
tot last
Even if
an offender escapes material or physical punishment, he can't
escape from the punishment of his inner spirit. It will always kcep him
restless in his heart. God is above and he sees everything we do even if no
one else is watchine. 'fo save us or not to save us is in the hands of God
alone .

Then there is a hint for the lawyers also. They should give their clients
sincere advice. They should not give them false hopes. And they should
base their case on nothing but true facts, Reaching a compromise is always
better than taking a case to court.
