TRIBE-RULERS

A symbol of the mental qualities which regulate and direct the lower nature.

“The progress which is in the Spenta‑mainyu Gatha the tribe‑rulers should carry on.” – Shayast La‑Shayast, Ch. XIII.

The development of soul occasioned through the Mental‑body is due to the rule of the mental qualities which control and co‑ordinate the desires and passions, and direct the emotions. “Which class of faculties is entitled to rule? I answer, that the moral and intellectual powers are superior in kind to the animal propensities, and that every well‑constituted mind feels that, in cases of conflict, they are entitled to restrain the inferior desires. This is the sense in which I speak of the supremacy of the moral sentiments and intellect.” – G. Combe, Moral Philosophy, p. 19.
