All external conditions are the outcome of inter-nal conditions.
This is as true in regard to a people as it is true in regard to a man, a society, an animal, a plant, or a rock. The Law of Karma is an universal law which acts within communities, Yea, even so within solar systems, as it acts in regard to individuals. Man is whatever he makes himself by his thoughts. A people on the whole may be looked upon as a compound individual, made up of a great many personalities, and yet being one entity to which the same law applies. Individuals, as well as communities, grow spirit-ually in proportion as they rise up to a higher ideal.
