ETHICS
581. The two poles of duality are never completely equivalent. It cannot be declared that the dark, as half of the unity, is worth the same as the other half represented by the light, because unity can only be realized from the position of the light side of duality. Unity cannot be restored from the dark. Indeed, the unity of dark and light can only be restored from the light.
582. There is no need for moral rules for that person who possesses a kind of inner light, and for whom responsibility is based upon the principle coinciding with the totality of existence, since something either serves as a means for absolution, and then it has to be done, or impedes absolution, in which case it has to be avoided. These morals, undoubtedly, are pragmatic; however, they are Self-realisation-oriented pragmatic morals.
583. For a superior type of man a moral commandment is only a sign, a warning. Nevertheless, the more inferior a man is, the more imperative and compelling the commandment must be, even at the cost of physical enforcement in the last resort. To a superior type of man there are no prohibitions or demands, only signs.
584. To an inferior type of man every moral rule is a commandment; and the more inferior the man is, the more severe the commandment must be.
585. The higher hierarchical levels are injured, the more far-reaching the consequences will be. Therefore, from the traditional point of view, doing harm to a child is not as grave an injury as harming a human being at the zenith of his life.
586. Sin is a consequence.
587. What is prohibited to some people might as well be compulsory to others in certain circumstances.
