When we deal with ourselves in line with the principles of the religion, this is how we have to do it. If all of us in the world used reason as our guide, in both our internal and external affairs, we all would evaluate, understand, and avoid anything that posed dangers to ourselves individually or to the common good. We wouldn’t persist in destroying ourselves and others by flirting recklessly with those dangers. As for that which would be of benefit to ourselves and the common good, we’d try to think up ways to produce those benefits. The whole world would prosper and flourish and we’d all be happy and at peace. When we take the principles of the religion as our guide, they lead us in the direction of peace through correct practice in line with the principle of cause and effect, which is a universal principle leading to the prosperity of the world.
