As mentioned previously, spiritual evolution is one of the laws of the universe. Evolution in spiritual terms, is eternal and differs from the biological evolution of Darwin. The duration of a human life is but one moment in eternal spiritual evolution, which is closely connected to the universal law of reincarnation. It is through numerous multiple reincarnations that the spirit ascends to an environment of higher spirituality on a higher level of evolution.
Therefore the dogma of "salvation" is not only absurd but also an incentive to self-indulgence. The work, the struggles that human beings have to go through, the efforts that must be taken to achieve spiritual evolution and material progress are not understood by the sectarists, who rather rely on "grace" and in the favours and divine protection of a deity.
Under the principle of salvation, parasites and scoundrels may be granted immunity from the consequences of committing earthly sins and the representatives of the deity can also absolve delinquents and grant them passports to heaven.
The deepest human misunderstandings that so many tragedies, so many evils, so many misfortunes have brought into the world, without excluding hatred, war and even misery and hunger, have their close or remote origins, in the sum of false ideas that innumerable sects hsve instilled in people.
Unconscious victim of these evils, humanity has been driven into pain in an almost endless sequence of lost reincarnations.
One thing, however, is certain: spiritual evolution must be accomplished, at all costs. This is an imposition of the natural, immutable laws that govern the Universe. And these laws are indifferent to the foolish pretense of those who think they can deceive or nullify them.
