Quick Condemnation Of All That Is Not Ours, Of Views With Which We Disagree, Of Ideas That Do Not Attract Us, Is The Sign Of A Narrow Mind, Of An Uncultivated Intelligence. Bigotry Is Always Ignorant, And The Wise Boy, Who Will Become The Wise Man, Tries To Understand And To See The Truth In Ideas With Which He Does Not Agree.

Theosophy Tries To Bridge The Gulf Between Buddhism And Christianity By Pointing To The Fundamental Spiritual Truths On Which Both Religions Are Built, And By Winning People To Regard The Buddha And The Christ As Fellow-laborers, And Not As Rivals.

Belief In Karma Ought To Make The Life Pure, Strong, Serene And Glad. Only Our Own Deeds Can Hinder Us; Only Our Own Will Can Fetter Us. Once Let Men Recognize This Truth, And The Hour Of Their Liberation Has Struck. Nature Cannot Enslave The Soul That By Wisdom Has Gained Power And Uses Both In Love.

The Idea That Buddhism Denies What Is Called In The West Individual Immortality Is A Mistake, So Far As The Buddhist Scriptures Are Concerned.

No Circumstances Can Ever Make Or Mar The Unfolding Of The Spiritual Life. Spirituality Does Not Depend Upon The Environment; It Depends Upon One's Attitude Towards Life.
