902. As we know, there are very great differences in what each human being can have the heart to do to its neighbour or its surroundings. Some can have the heart to take revenge, cause injury or kill other beings, or in other ways be an inconvenience or a nuisance to their surroundings, whereas others cannot have the heart to cause even the slightest degree of inconvenience to any human being or animal, they cannot bear that they should be exposed to suffering in any area whatsoever, but would rather be fully inspired to alleviate other beings' pain, sorrows and troubles in every situation, and in fact they cannot even have the heart to pick flowers because they see it as a kind of injury to the plant's organism to do so. It ought to be a generally accepted fact that there must be an ability behind these terrestrial human beings' vastly differing attitudes towards their fellow beings and the other forms of life in their surroundings. And among that which is impossible to refute is the fact that these varying attitudes, each according to its nature, can be classified on a continuous scale rising from a lower to a greater representation of the inability to have the heart to inflict upon other beings any trouble or pain. Our entire assessment of the degree of perfection of our fellow beings is based on this very scale. The more the beings represent those degrees that are expressions of revenge, persecution, murder and the injury of other beings, the more primitive or inhuman we consider them to be, whereas the opposite is the case with beings that represent stages at the other end of the scale. The more the beings represent the stages or steps on the scale where they can have the heart to exhibit only humaneness but do not have the heart to cause other beings sorrow and worries, consequently preferring to take on the sufferings themselves, the more we see and describe them as advanced. Is it not these very steps on the scale that form the basis of mankind's entire cultural advancement? Is it not these steps that are set up as ideals in the most advanced religions? Is it not these steps that are manifested by Christ, Buddha and the other highest leaders of human beings, whose high position is confirmed by their millennia-long authority? And is it not the manifestation of these very steps that offers immunity from "hell fire"?
      As the world redeemers or the great founders of the most advanced religions, who themselves represent these humane or loving steps, live only in order to point out to their less perfect fellow beings that these steps are their "salvation" from "hell fire", that is to say their release from sorrow and suffering, these beings are consequently playing a part in confirming that all these steps are expressions of a process of growth that terrestrial human beings are in the midst of. If this were not the case the instruction and precepts of the world redeemers or prophets would be quite meaningless and therefore totally abnormal. And only fools would dare to contradict these beings' words, which have stood undisputed for thousands of years, and have on the contrary become scientific fact to the advanced researcher.
