“Theosophy is a scientific religion and a religious science…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 23rd January 2015 “Theosophy is that ocean of knowledge which spreads from shore to shore of the evolution of sentient beings; unfathomable in its deepest parts, it gives the greatest minds their fullest scope, yet, shallow enough at its shores, it will not overwhelm the understanding of a child. It is wisdom about God for those who believe that he is all … Continue reading “Theosophy is a scientific religion and a religious science…”

“All our troubles in life arise from ourselves…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 18th January 2015 “The very best I can say to you is that, as you know, all our troubles in life arise from ourselves, no matter how much they may seem to come from the outside; we are all parts of the one great whole, and if you try to centre your mind upon that fact, and to remember that those things … Continue reading “All our troubles in life arise from ourselves…”

“Those who have trained themselves can use the astral form at will…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 15th January 2015 “In the ordinary man who has not been trained in practical occultism or who has not the faculty by birth, the astral body cannot go more than a few feet from the physical one. It is a part of that physical, it sustains it and is incorporated in it just as the fibres of the mango are all through … Continue reading “Those who have trained themselves can use the astral form at will…”

“The Adepts may be called rugged oaks that have no disguise…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 11th January 2015 “But the Sages we speak of, and their disciples, carry with them the indelible mark and speak the well-known words that show they are beings developed under laws, and not merely persons who, having undergone a childish ordeal, are possessed of a diploma. The Adepts may be called rugged oaks that have no disguise, while the undeveloped man dabbling … Continue reading “The Adepts may be called rugged oaks that have no disguise…”

“The true practice of Yoga…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 27th February 2014 “The only method of Yoga that I would give a snap for is that found in Patanjali’s Yoga and the Bhagavad Gita. True Yoga is not autohypnotization. The true practice of yoga begins by purifying the heart; its perfection is not attainable until the personal idea is completely uprooted.  Obviously this takes more than one incarnation. You have … Continue reading “The true practice of Yoga…”

“There is a bright side to life…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 23rd February 2014 “When one stops to think, to weigh, and to consider what is one’s duty, or which of many duties should be performed first, it is indeed perplexing and difficult to know what to do. But if you will do just what lies before you without thinking about all the other things, and without troubling your mind about all … Continue reading “There is a bright side to life…”

“Filling the mind with a mass of half-dead images…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 13th February 2014 “Reading of a certain sort is simply the alcohol habit removed to another plane, and just as some unfortunates live to drink instead of drinking that they may live, so other unfortunates live to read instead of reading that they may learn how to live. Gautama Buddha went so far as to forbid his disciples to read novels … Continue reading “Filling the mind with a mass of half-dead images…”

“To compel the earnest student to dig out many profound truths…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 4th February 2014 “Speaking to those who know and believe that HPB was all the time in communication with the Masters in their retreats somewhere on the globe, I can say that a serious series of consultations was held among them as to what should go into “The Secret Doctrine,” and that it was plainly said that the book was to … Continue reading “To compel the earnest student to dig out many profound truths…”

“Each and every event will bear for you a deep significance…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Saturday 28th December 2013 “If you desire to labor for the good of the world, it will be unwise for you to strive to include it all at once in your efforts. If you can help elevate or teach but one soul – that is a good beginning, and more than is given to many. “Fear nothing that is in Nature and … Continue reading “Each and every event will bear for you a deep significance…”

“Capital punishment is both useless and injurious…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 27th September 2013 “Capital punishment is both useless and injurious. It is as great an injustice to the world of beings left unexecuted as to the one so violently sent out of life. They used to kill men in England for stealing a ten-penny nail or a loaf of bread, but thieves and thieving did not lessen. Murders have not decreased. … Continue reading “Capital punishment is both useless and injurious…”
