The law of recompense is not only one to compel man to right thought, feeling, and conduct. On a higher plane, there is the Overself. Were there no rewards for goodness and no punishment for wickedness, either here on earth or somewhere in a death-world, it would still be a part of man's highest happiness to express the compassion that is, through the Overself, his purest attribute.
