society. Although to

begin with they felt

the guidance to be

unusually strict, yet

they soon saw in it

the incorruptible

justice with which

everything was

carried out. This was

finally expressed in a

genuine trust which

they unreservedly

placed in their

leadership, the need

for which they

perceived to be right.

Without guidance

there is no progress

in the entire

Creation. A long

chain of guides and

helpers, beginning

with the spiritual

Primordial Creation

right down to the

material Subsequent Creation, is unceasingly active in

the Will of God. Where there is development there also

must be leaders to guide and direct it. The earth is no

exception. Great human leaders, such as Moses, the

Prophets, Buddha, Lao-Tse, Zoroaster and Mohammed

are a few examples of this.

I

t is one of the great evils of past eras that there was a

growing lack of persons genuinely gifted with leader-

ship who, above all, possessed a comprehensive

knowledge of the Laws of Creation. Very often those

who were to be led themselves took the place of the

missing or unsuccessful leaders, or they were given

substantial right to participate in the leadership, which

resulted in considerable wrong developments.

Seen in this way, the desire for genuine leadership is

understandable; whose first duty is always to fulfil the

Will of God, Which He has anchored in His Laws of

Creation. But the fulfilment lies in interweaving these

Laws into everyday life on earth, and acting in accor-

dance with them.

The concept of equality had also changed. Equality

exists when the unconscious spirit-germs leave

Paradise. In this state they are all equal as regards the

gift of their still slumbering talents. Equal again are all

human spirits who return fully conscious to Paradise,

which implies equal spiritual maturity.

But between these lies the inequality of all the human

spirits on their journey from Paradise into the World of

ISTOCKMatter, and back to Paradise. The inequality is founded in

When one door of happiness closes, another

opens; but often we look so long at the closed

door that we do not see the one which has

been opened for us.
