| 131:6.2 " The Lord of [[Heaven]] is [[supreme]]. Those who commit [[sin]] will not ascend on high, but those who walk in the [[paths]] of [[righteousness]] shall find a place in heaven. We are [[assured]] of the life hereafter if we know [[truth]]. The [[soul]] of man may [[ascend]] to the highest heaven, there to [[develop]] its true [[spiritual]] [[nature]], to [[attain]] [[perfection]]. The estate of heaven delivers man from the [[bondage]] of [[sin]] and introduces him to the final beatitudes; the [[righteous]] man has already [[experienced]] an end of sin and all its associated miseries. [[Self]] is man's invincible foe, and self is [[manifested]] as man's four greatest [[passions]]: [[anger]], [[pride]], [[deceit]], and [[greed]]. Man's greatest [[victory]] is the conquest of himself. When man looks to [[God]] for [[forgiveness]], and when he makes [[bold]] to enjoy such [[liberty]], he is thereby delivered from [[fear]]. Man should [[journey]] through life treating his fellow [[creatures]] as he would like to be treated. " | | 131:6.2 " The Lord of [[Heaven]] is [[supreme]].
