the great courses and final evolutions of our spiritual 
capacities and the essential rules of life. 
No vital question can be solved without religion,

and important questions of life. 
ORIGIN OF RELIGION | 
What is the origin of religion? 
The origin of religion lies in conscience, the ever- 
living Voice of God. 
God as our Creator, as our Lord and our eternal 
Father, is the Leader and Teacher of our inward- 
ness.

For this reason our responsibility to God is al- 
ways the first responsibility. It precedes all other 
responsibilities, a fact which is proved by the instant 
consciousness and feeling of having performed a 
good deed or of having committed an evil deed. 
Conscience is the continuous and everlasting con- 
tact of the soul with God. God guides and teaches 
through conscience and he who is attentive to the 
dictates of conscience and who follows these dic- 
tates unhesitatingly is on the path to holy life, while 
the one who is neglectful in the execution of these 
dictates is bound to fall beneath his human dignity 
and suffer shame and punishment.
