Ridicule Is The Deadliest Weapon Of The

The World Is Not Prepared Yet To Understand The Philosophy Of Occult Sciences - Let Them Assure Themselves First Of All That There Are Beings In An Invisible World, Whether 'spirits' Of The Dead Or Elementals; And That There Are Hidden Powers In Man, Which Are Capable Of Making A God Of Him On Earth.

Nothing Of That Which Is Conducive To Help Man, Collectively Or Individually, To Live Not "happily" But Less Unhappily In This World, Ought To Be Indifferent To The Theosophist-occultist. It Is No Concern Of His Whether His Help Benefits A Man In His Worldly Or Spiritual Progress; His First Duty Is To Be Ever Ready To Help If He Can, Without Stopping To Philosophize.

The Man Might Have Become A Power, But He Preferred To Remain An Ass.

Patience Leads To Power; But Eagerness In Greed Leads To Loss.

Man Is Spiritual Being -- A Soul, In Other Words -- And That This Soul Takes On Different Bodies From Life To Life On Earth To Order At Last To Arrive At Such Perfect Knowledge, Through Repeated Experience, As To Enable One To Assume A Body Fit To Be The Dwelling-place Of A Mahatma Or Perfected Soul. Then, They Say, That Particular Soul Becomes A Spiritual Helper To Mankind.
