Question: Is man's conscience more important than the outer law?
Sri Chinmoy: From the strict spiritual point of view, conscience is always infinitely more important than the outer law or man-made law because conscience represents the Light from above. And this Light was already operating long before the outer life came into existence.
From:Sri Chinmoy,Justice-light and satisfaction-delight, Agni Press, 1976
