Man-made laws

303: “The final postulate which I seek to emphasize is that the keeping of these three laws will lead necessarily to an urgent desire to keep the law of the land in which a particular soul has incarnated.  That these man-made laws are inadequate I well know, and it is needless to point this out.  They may be, and are, temporary and insufficient to the need.  They may fail in their scope and prove inadequate, but they do, in a measure, safeguard the little feeble ones, and will be regarded therefore as binding upon those who are seeking to help the race.  These laws are subject to change as the effect of the three great laws makes itself felt, but until they are wisely altered (and this takes time) they act as a brake on license and on selfishness.”

GEOFFREY HODSON: Theosophy for the Lawyer

• “Human law, in its impersonality, impartiality and strict justice, like mathematics, is a most direct expression on earth of the Divine in the Cosmos. For the highest possible definition of God is as the Principle of immutable Law under which all things great and small, macrocosmic and microcosmic, are conceived, made manifest, densified to the deepest degree, polished, perfected and finally withdrawn. In the Macrocosm all is law and law is all. This is the highest, noblest of God and ideal of Divinity. God is immutable Law.”
• “Human law mirrors divine law. The man of law is an agent of that law. The touch of heaven rests upon the miscalled dry-as-dust procedure of the administration of the law.”
