In the book “COMMUNITY” [1926], Roerich explains the universal principles of true community as a model of an ideal society, based on the Teachings of the Great Sages and on his own experience gathered over many years of leading a spiritual community.
A community is “the only reasonable way of human co-existence,” the shared ascent of students of Light, a collective path and self-improvement. The concept of community is closely tied to the foundations of the common good, which is the deep essence and the goal of the ascent path, along which slowly and gradually evolving humanity moves.
