Justice

Confucius, the Just One by Nicholas Roerich. 19251. "The quality of good is a great saturation of action by justice and by the heart." [Fiery World III, 317]

 

2. “Devadatta asked, “Where does each action begin?” “From the most necessary,” answered the Blessed One, “for each moment has its own necessity, and this is called the rightness of action.”” [Leaves of Morya’s Garden II, 275]

 

3. "There is no soulless justice, but only shining goalfitness. Indeed, the glorious goalfitness cannot tyrannize, but reveals the gates of beauty. And the call of goalfitness fills the space with the rapture of victory." [New Era Community, 23]

 

4. "…All the Great Teachings say: “For good – good, but for evil – justly.” If it were otherwise, a wave of evil would flood the world." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 2. 110]

 

5. "The only judge is your spirit, wherein is God." [Leaves of Morya’s Garden I, 206]

 

6. “It is impossible to express in a word of law just when the necessity of this or that action becomes evident. Unwritten are the laws of the heart, but only therein does justice dwell, for the heart is the bridge of the worlds. …The sword of knowledge flashes at the command of the heart." [Brotherhood, 121]

 

7. "Consciousness is the measure. …Consciousness is the judge of motive. Karma provides the means, but often they are in repayment of old karmic debts. There are so many aspects to life, and only consciousness can be the judge. Therefore, develop consciousness. If we limit ourselves by dead laws, it would be better to move to a cemetery. …But how precise must be the chisel inscribing justice, and how subtle can be the wiliness of self-justification!" [Agni Yoga, 337]

 

8. "It is impossible in words to convey this quality, which, when straight-knowledge is evidenced, is regarded as the greatest. Beyond earthly laws, the just ones know where the truth is. The law leads to many injustices, but he who is conscious of the Fiery World knows where the truth lies; in spite of the obvious he senses reality." [Fiery World I, 364]

 

9. "Until a person has developed a perfect sense of justice, it is preferable for him to err due to an excess of leniency than to commit the slightest injustice." [Letters From the Masters of the Wisdom]

 

10. "... There is nothing more difficult than understanding justice. Often it is the pursuit of justice that drowns out the voice of the heart. In most cases, people take a rational judgment based on counting the evidence of the present day for true justice. ...As it is said in the "Letters of the Mahatmas": "Under the pretext of Justice, the exact application of the law is often the greatest harm." So let's remember this and when assessing what is happening, we will first of all listen to the whisper of the heart. ... In order not to make a mistake, before we show justice, we will learn to show great compassion and appreciation for every kind word, for every kind thought and action, and everything else will follow." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 3. 100]

 

The Terrible (Angel the Last) by Nicholas Roerich. 1942

11. "Sentimentality and justice are two antipodes." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 3. 009]

 

12. "The fiery heart distinctly understands the inadmissibility of malice. It knows about the creativeness which excludes malice as a worthless expedient. Benignity also senses goal-fitness, that is to say, the higher measure of justice." [Fiery World I, 224]

 

13. "During the hour of human injustice, recall spatial justice. ...If we are certain that we serve evolution, we can rely upon the justice of space." [Hierarchy, 283]

 

14. "We must be filled with confidence in Higher Justice, not in the justice that is personally convenient and understandable to us, but which is weighed on unmistakable karmic scales." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 7. 003]

 

15. "He who sows will reap. Nothing can alter the law of Justice. It can be applied in non-earthly measures, but the sowing will have to be lived down according to the strength of consciousness." [Fiery World II, 348]

 

16. "Karma, or cosmic justice, puts everyone in those conditions in which he must learn something or redeem something." [Letters of Helena Roerich in 9 Volumes - 2. 132]

 

17. "People invent many so-called justices. They know justice as personal, family, clan, and race. They hide behind official, school, and professional justice. One cannot enumerate all the many views of justice! But human justice is left out. People judge from many points of view, but the main one – universal justice – is never recognized.

... Everyone, every day, pronounces judgments. People take on burdens of responsibility by shooting arrows of falsehood into space, for they judge conventionally, and often ignorantly. Also, people are often opinionated, and even spiteful, when they send their poisonous arrows of judgment. There are many physical poisons, but many more psychic ones.

...It is necessary to get used to human justice. You need to check yourself – has a biased judgment crept in? In everyday life, you need to check yourself. Do not think that justice applies to any state institutions – everyone is a judge.

The Thinker said, “Learn true justice, for every day you pronounce judgments.” [Supermundane, 610]

 

You Must not See This Flame by Svetoslav Roerich. 196818. "... But one may imagine what two hostile neighbors must outlive in order to think about mutual benefit. The oppression of one has been the rejoicing of the other. It means that they both must suffer. ... The manifestation of justice is very difficult, if the motives are not taken into consideration. " [Fiery World II, 36]

 

19. "Justice is primarily observation." [Fiery World I, 496]

 

20. "Courageous seekers of Agni Yoga face the inevitable pains caused by conflagration of the centers, and also suffer a painful sensitivity to all injustice." [Agni Yoga, 169]

 

21. "It is necessary to be fortified in a firm resolve that injustice will not be admitted. If such a decision is firm, a new accumulation of strength will result. It is not easy to safeguard oneself against injustice; it can make its appearance in any of the details of everyday life. There should not be any small injustices; each of them already violates the basis of evolution." [Brotherhood, 543]

 

22. "An angry person is like a bull. But the one who strikes a blow for justice is like a luminous spirit. When will people comprehend the wondrousness of becoming like the Highest Beings?" [Agni Yoga, 215]
