EVERY ACTION THAT HELPS A BEING MANIFEST IT'S DIVINE NATURE MORE AND MORE IS GOOD, EVERY ACTION THAT RETARDS IT IS EVIL

"Sympathy and help to the poor"; "Man is God, he is Nârâyana"; "In Atman there is no distinction of male or female, of Brahmin or Kshatriya, and the like"; "All is Narayana from the Creator down to a clump of grass." The worm is less manifested, the Creator more manifested. Every action that helps a being manifest its divine nature more and more is good, every action that retards it is evil.
