Answer: That is not a rule. The rule is that the one who succeeds through wrong will only succeed through wrong; by doing right he will fall. The one who succeeds by right will always succeed by doing right; if he does wrong he will fall. Furthermore for him who ascends, all-right and wrong-becomes as steps to ascend and for him who descends, all-good or evil-becomes a step to descend. Yet what is consoling is that this takes one to the ideal: there must be an ideal before one in order to ascend; then even one's error will help.
