What is the discovery of the law?

Justice and mercy are not incompatible.

Human justice and divine justice have little in common besides the principle.

Divine justice is based on absolute knowledge and takes into consideration all the circumstances.

For instance, when you leave the earth, no court sits in judgment―

No sentence is passed.

The only judgment you must submit to is the inevitable result of the law, which brought you into being and which declares that every act and thought of your earth life sets in motion waves―or impulses, either good and harmonious with their divine origin―or bad and inharmonious.

Since you have a soul, which is a part of that great Creative Spirit, and which must ultimately come into perfect accord with that Creative Force―or Spirit, it follows that the waves of dissonance must be accorded.

If you create, either in your earth―or afterlife, sufficient waves of good, they will neutralise the bad.

A true and worthy life on earth places you in a better position for further effort than a life, which has created discordant waves.

It is the discovery of this law, which is your only judgment―

God’s justice sees each tiny effort and aspiration, and these influences are great.

Since you must submit to the inevitable result of this law, and you will ultimately reach perfection, why make an effort on earth to do anything that will interfere with your fancy if you will be eternally happy sometime anyway?

Why not be as happy as possible on earth in your own way?

In the infancy of life, which is your earth experience, each individual perceives within himself the instinct of his immortality.

Regardless of civilisation―or other outward circumstance, each is conscious of an aspiration for something better.

It is an infantile grasping, for a ray of light, but it is an indication of another life.

If on earth that individual follows this infallible guide, he grows into splendid maturity, and he puts into motion splendid waves of harmony, and when reaching this life, his eyes are opened―his intelligence perceives the reasons, and the laws, which govern his development.

With this clear vision, he perceives also the tremendous task before him of creating enough good influence to overcome the bad.

This is your judgment.

It is not a punishment, but an accepted consequence of your past.
