DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 23rd July 2013 “The study of The Secret Doctrine proves unprofitable unless the student sees at his own stage of evolution, in his own life, in the activity of his own complex nature, the unity which is basic from which differentiation springs and on which diversity manifests.
