An important principle of the Torah, as well as one of the great virtues of the tzaddikim who walk before God, is that \"I have set the Lord before me at all times\" (Psalms 16:8). For man's demeanor and conduct when he is alone in his house are unlike those he would exhibit in the presence of a great king; likewise, one's manner and conversation within the circle of his own family are not the same as when he is in the presence of a king. How much more exemplary will his conduct be when he considers that the Supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, stands over him and observes his actions; as it is written (Jeremiah 23:24), \"Can a man hide in secret places that I shall not see him? says the Lord. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?\" Reflecting upon this, he will be imbued with a feeling of reverence and humility, and always have a sense of shame before God.",
