798. The universal rule regarding the life after death, that it is allotted to each according to his motives in bodily life

It is known that the created universe is but a complex of means toward the goal of goals, Which is the Lord, because He is Heaven. Intermediate goals range in their own series and levels, one after another, from the lowest to the higher, then on to the highest. The arrangement of these means, and series of means, is order.
