Secondly, at every step of evolution one's conception of good and bad, of right and wrong, changes. You might ask me, "How does it change? Does one see more wrong or does one see less wrong as one evolves?" One might naturally think that by virtue of one's evolution one might see more wrongs. But that is not the case: the more one evolves the less wrong one sees. Then it is not always the action, it is the motive behind it. Sometimes an action, apparently right, may be made wrong by the motive behind it. Sometimes an action, apparently wrong, may be right on account of the motive at the back. The ignorant is ready to form an opinion of another person's action, but for the wise it is most difficult to form an opinion of the action of another.
