“Instructions to the Leader” is a book of a special kind. It is directly connected with the Teaching of Living Ethics, although it is not included in the list of the Teaching’s books. As Elena Ivanovna Roerich reports, it contains passages that are found in other books, “but there are some that have been published nowhere.”
The specific feature of the texts in “Instructions to the Leader” is that they are addressed first of all to people who are called to become leaders and rulers of mankind.
