“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…”

“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.

“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.

“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…”

“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.

“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…”

“Spread, explain, and illustrate the laws of Karma and Reincarnation…”

“Man is really a thinker and made of thought…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 11th September 2013 “This coming into life over and over again cannot be avoided by the ordinary man because Lower Manas is still bound by Desire, which is the preponderating principle at the present period.

“The great law of life and progress…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 8th July 2013 “Reincarnation being the great law of life and progress, it is interwoven with that of the cycles and karma.

Individuals and nations in definite streams return in regularly recurring periods to the earth, and thus bring back to the globe the … Continue reading “The great law of life and progress…”

“The mystery of the moon…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 30th June 2013 “Modern Theosophy, coming on the field as the uniter of all religions by explaining the symbols and traditions of each, is not exempt from the mystery of the moon. H.P. Blavatsky is our sole originator of a theory regarding the satellite which one could not have invented with the most wonderful imagination. She says her teachers told her, … Continue reading “The mystery of the moon…”
