Thus any thought, speech or action that disturbs peace is wrong, evil and a sin. If it brings about peace it is right, good and a virtue. Life being like a dome, its nature is also dome-like. Disturbance of the slightest part of life disturbs the whole and returns as a curse upon the person who caused it. Any peace produced on the surface comforts the whole, and thence returns as peace to the producer. This is the philosophy of the reward of good deeds and the punishment of bad deeds given by the higher powers.
