Today, on Words of Wisdom, we invite you to join us for excerpts from “The Key to Theosophy.”

WHAT IS PRACTICAL THEOSOPHY? DUTY

“First of all, because our philosophy teaches us that the object of doing our duties to all men and to ourselves the last, is not the attainment of personal happiness, but of the happiness of others; the fulfilment of right for the sake of right, not for what it may bring us. Happiness, or rather contentment, may indeed follow the performance of duty, but is not and must not be the motive for it.”

“Duty is that which is due to humanity, to our fellow-men, neighbors, family, and especially that which we owe to all those who are poorer and more helpless than we are ourselves.” “Modern ethics are beautiful to read about and hear discussed; but what are words unless converted into actions?”

“Finally: if you ask me how we understand Theosophical duty practically and in view of Karma, I may answer you that our duty is to drink without a murmur to the last drop, whatever contents the cup of life may have in store for us, to pluck the roses of life only for the fragrance they may shed on others, and to be ourselves content but with the thorns, if that fragrance cannot be enjoyed without depriving someone else of it.”

The Enquirer inquired: “What do you consider as due to humanity at large?” The Theosophist retorted: “Full recognition of equal rights and privileges for all, and without distinction of race, color, social position, or birth.”
