Cosmic hierarchy and the law of evolution

‘The universe is a living, organised and, most importantly, hierarchical whole. All the way from the densest and darkest regions of matter to the divine world, which is pure light, the universe is a hierarchy. If human beings encounter so many difficulties and experience so much suffering, it is because they do not yet have the right attitude towards this hierarchy, which has God at its summit. Only those who are aware of this hierarchy are able to see a light constantly before them, and they receive a boost to their progress along the path of evolution.’
