| Man irresistibly
carries on his ascent to higher consciousness levels.
This progress can't always be seen because of the contrasting
shapes it takes. We make the most of the development
of our intellectual abilities, our accumulation of knowledge
and our experience, spiritually as well as materially
speaking. Man carries on building societies based on
leisure and pleasure in a wide variety of forms.
It is getting more and more difficult not to yield to
the temptation of spending your time enjoying the increasingly
appealing pleasures we create every day. And why shouldn't
we give way to it ? Because pleasure is by nature insatiable
and it is far and away what most solidly chains us to
this world's illusion. Thus it is a solid obstacle on
our spiritual path. Man can sell his soul for pleasure.
He can murder, steal, rape, and commit appalling things.
At a not so remote time, most of men considered as normal
to reduce defeated enemies to slavery. Today they are
made prisoners, and tomorrow the idea of enemy will
finally disappear.
Nowadays, we breed huge quantities of animals so as
to eat them. Tomorrow, we will globally respect life.
Making suffer conscious animals in order to eat them
will be unimaginable. Most of men will become vegetarian
because of their respect for life in any shape. We will
understand that we mustn't use our superiority over
the other forms of life on our planet as a power, but
as a responsibility that makes Man the guardian of all
forms of life.
Man's duty is to help lower shapes of life in their
own development process. To understand that is to fathom
God's thought who wanted power to be always used for
the good of others and not for selfish reasons at the
others' expense.
