The Court of Conscience

There is a higher court than the courts of justice - the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts. Persian moralist and mystic Shaikh Saadi wisely asserts that there exists a higher court than the human institutions of justice, namely, the court of conscience. He suggests that true justice is not merely a matter of legal judgments or the enforcement of laws but a sincere evaluation of one's actions in accordance with one's moral compass.

The court of conscience supersedes all other courts, as it is the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong, guiding individuals to make ethical decisions and holding them accountable. It's always the voice of conscience that guides and regulates humans. 'Har shakhs agar apne zameer ki sune/ In adalaton ki jahan mein darkaar na rahe - if every individual listens to the voice of his/her conscience/ The courts in the world shall become redundant.

Our life is a chariot, conscience its charioteer. A conscientious person keeps evolving all the time because conscience and human evolution are like Siamese twins. An evolved human needs no external guidance to steer the ship of his life. He has a conscience as his greatest steward. To be a human is to be conscientious. Nature has endowed all of us with conscience. Let conscience remain forever awake, alive and active. Mankind will collectively evolve, and all crimes, pettiness, bloodshed and differences will vanish in a jiffy.
