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

“There are not many spirits but solely one spirit…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Friday 5th July 2013 “Spirit is universal, indivisible, and common to all. In other words, there are not many spirits, one for each man, but solely one spirit which shines upon all men alike, finding as many souls – roughly speaking – as there are beings in the world.
