If someone does you injustice, in the eyes of God it is correct. But the world will say that he did wrong.
This nature is just. Its justice is not false. It is so precise that not even a single mosquito can touch you, and if it does, then know that there must be a cause behind it, otherwise not a single vibration will touch you. You are completely free. No one can cause any obstructions for you.
