Pythagoras: “Once I wrote the Treatise on Ethics… There I, in particular, said and now repeat it again: without the ethics — knowledge is dangerous! “Yes, many believe that there are no grounds for behavior based on ethics… This is so because it seems that in the same way people rejoice, suffer, and then die: both those who indulge in vices, and those who live in care for others and in love for everything… “But it seems so only on the surface, in the momentary bustle… “Verily, there are grounds for an ethical life! “… Among different nations, there are different rules of behavior. Those rules, laws, and traditions are invented by people. They could be better or worse… They are obligatory for those people who live in the community where those rules were invented. That man or a few people who govern that state order to observe those rules… “But there is something different! “The Laws of the higher purity, love, and harmony are not invented by people! They are laid in the nature of the Evolution by the Creator of the whole Creation! This may be not obvious for people because of the ‘black clouds’ of their prejudices. But love, harmony, and purity are the direction of the movement to the Creator! The movement backwards creates disharmony, diseases and afflictions… We are free to choose where to go… “Love is the quality of the Whole*! Love holds everything together inside It! Everything in It lives in Unity! And it is the Great Law for the life of all beings! “That is why, love and kindness are boons! Through the acts of love and kindness — we move towards harmony and Unity! “On the contrary, evil is a violation of harmony. Evil is harm caused to the Whole, when everything is divided into ‘yours’ and ‘mine’. In that division, ‘mine’ tends to dominate, and this creates opportunities for the evil… “Evil begets evil, good begets good… “But only a sage can distinguish between good and evil! “Let love become a stronghold of ethics in everyone! A solid and simple stronghold for obtaining the Unity with the Whole and for the Mergence with It!”
