One day Moses wants to know and see God's justice with his own eyes and prays for it. His prayer is answered and Gabriel brings him news and tells him to hide behind a shepherd's fountain in a desolate forest and wait.

Soon a man on horseback comes to the fountain. He is obviously very tired and wants to get off his horse and take a rest and cool off. At that moment, he leaves a gold ingot in his pocket on the wall above the fountain so that it does not fall into the water. He washes his hands and face, cools off, drinks a lot of water and waters his horse in the meantime. He lies under the tree for a while, then gets on his horse and rides off.

Musa hides behind the fountain and continues to wait. Half an hour passes. Another man comes with his horse. After drinking the water and watering his horse, he sees the gold nugget just as he is about to leave. He looks around for the owner. I think they have forgotten about it and will not come, he thinks, puts the nugget in his pocket and leaves... After another half hour passes, a blind man comes to the fountain, banging his cane. He drinks water, washes his face and hands. He lies down under a tree to cool off and falls asleep...

Meanwhile, the man who had left his gold nugget there remembers what he had forgotten and returns to the fountain. Not finding the nugget on the fountain, he angrily pounces on the man lying on the ground, demanding his nugget. Despite all his insistence and kicks and slaps, the man says he doesn't have it and didn't take it, but he can't convince the owner of the nugget. He draws his sword and beheads the man. After killing him, he searches him thoroughly but finds nothing. He has both lost his gold and become a murderer for nothing...

Moses is frozen behind the fountain. Moreover, the blind man, who was the most innocent, died in vain, while the man who took the gold became rich and paid nothing. What kind of justice is this? .... Gabriel gives information to the confused Moses: The father of the man who took the gold once worked for the father of the man whose gold was stolen. He usurped the labor of the man who worked as a farmhand for years and did not give him the gold ingot he was entitled to. The gold, which his son inherited, has now been returned to its rightful owner!... That same man (the man who extorted the workers' money) was killed by one of the workers. The man who killed him was the father of the blind man who had just been killed, killed by mistake by the son of the man who had just been killed...

Nothing in this universe is without a cause and everything has a reason. Again, nothing is a coincidence, everything is as it should be, where it should be and at the moment it should be." Things that seem to us to be pure coincidence spring from the deepest wellspring of destiny," says Friedrich Schiller. There is an incredible system of balance and justice, a marvelous cosmic law. No one gets away with what they say, think or do. Whatever we think and do is exactly what comes back to us. All our thoughts, feelings and actions have inevitable consequences.

I like Einstein's quote very much: "If people knew that what they think, let alone what they do, leaves the frontal lobe of their brain and returns to them through the back lobe, perhaps they would not even think about it..."

I think this process used to be slower in the past. Grandfathers used to do and think, grandchildren used to pay the price. It is not like that now. Time and energy have changed some time ago, and today's price may not even be paid tomorrow. However, we cannot understand how we got from point A to point E, and we are confused about why this happened to me, why I did nothing. Forgetting that we passed through points B, C, D in between, forgetting that we are responsible for getting here...

However, from the moment we know ourselves, we somehow pay for what we do, we close the link of the chain...The chain of life...

On one of his long journeys during the struggle for Indian independence, Gandhi was riding a train when one of his sandals slipped off his foot and fell on the tracks. Gandhi quickly pushes the other one down. His companions curiously ask him why he did it: "One sandal would be of no use to the person who would find it, now he can use both of them together," Gandhi replied.

Months later, they stop by a town during a celebration. The square is crowded and he is separated from his friends. Just then, he is tackled to the ground and kicked by a man behind him who shouts "You have ruined our beloved Bharat".

"Leave him alone!" an angry booming voice wakes Gandhi up.

He opens his eyes and sees a familiar sight; it is the sandals he left on the train tracks. Strong hands reach out to Gandhi and gently lift him up.
