Acts of justice and fairness are usually exercised when the spirit proceeds with serenity, impartiality, and concern for the Truth. The world is in great need of justice as well as men and women with courage and honor.
Therefore, being fair, worthy and honorable must be the most serious aspiration of the human spirit. It must be understood, however, that no one can be just without being tolerant and moderate, without understanding life in its complexity, in its spiritual character and realistic content.
A clear and true understanding of life enables a human being to accelerate the development and refinement of his spiritual qualities, to reduce the number of reincarnations in the harsh environment of this school-world where ignorance has created the materialism into which humanity sinks and, with it, moral degradation that has infiltrated all levels of society.
This understanding gives the individual a practical sense of renunciation of earthly things and values, based on the certainty that his stay on Earth is transitory, and that material wealth is of temporary use, with which he can achieve only a few limited goals.
In reality, material wealth does not belong to the individual, but to the world that lends it to its inhabitants to manage and make good use of it, an ephemeral reward for their efforts and accomplishments.
