Welcome, Hinduism
“This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you.”
— Mahabharata 5:1517
The Mahabharata calls this "the sum of duty" — dharma condensed to one line. The Ultimate Law agrees that this single principle is sufficient for ethics. Hinduism’s concept of karma (actions have consequences) maps directly to the framework’s insistence that harm creates a moral debt that must be repaired through justice.
The Ultimate Law
Logic is the supreme rule. No authority, tradition, feeling, or majority overrides a valid logical argument.
The passive Golden Rule: do not do to others what they would not want done to them.
When this rule is broken, the victim’s right to justice — restitution or forgiveness — is sovereign.
No victim, no crime. No contradiction, no law.
