Now a days we find everywhere boards written saying, this area is under CCTV surveillance, means you are under observation, someone is watching you and if you found doing wrong activities on CCTV you will be punished. As we all know CCTV stands for Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance. They are use for crime prevention, traffic monitoring, supervision of industrial processes but mostly they are use to reduce and prevent the crimes.
When I was a kid I heard a nice story of a Guru, who wanted to test his disciples at the end of their Vedic studies. He gave everyone a fruit and asked them to eat but kept a condition, condition was that they have to eat the fruit where no one will watch them. Everyone went off for earthing a place where no one will see them, some went to the caves, some hide themselves in home, someone went inside the water of river and so and so forth. Everyone returned back after eating the fruit excluding one extra ordinary student who couldn't eat the fruit and came back to his guru saying, "I didn't find the single place where no one is observing me". Guru asked why didn't you find any place. He told wherever I went I realized that the Parmatma(supersoul) is observing me. Guru was really very pleased with his answer and rewarded him for passing the test. There is no place in the world where God's eyes are no there, His one of the name is 'Jagatchakshu', one whose eyes are everywhere.
Lord calls Himself in Bhagavad Gita 13th chapter as 'Updrista' an overseer of everything. It's also said in Gita verse 13.14 that, "Everywhere are His hands and legs, His eyes and faces, and He hears everything". He is observing everything and everyone. As a Parmatma He is witnessing all our activities just like one bird observes another bird's activities(svetasvatar upanisad). Bible says, "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." One may escape from ordinary CCTV of this world but there is no possibility of escaping from Supreme Lord's CCTV(Cause of all Causes' tv), not only He sees our acts but also our thoughts.
Person does the crime when he is ensured enough that no one is watching him, When CCTV is there person automatically controls his bad tendencies, similarly When one realizes this cosmic CCTV of God which is infallible one will never commit crime, but the problem is that very few knows about this CCTV of God, so it's our job to convince and make people aware of God's CCTV so they will reform their thoughts and deeds, that will naturally reduce the crime.
