Theosophy in action was described by Helena Blavatsky in the
following quote. May all contributors to Theosophy World keep
these ideals in mind as we use those "living messengers" --
words.
"The essence of Theosophy is the perfect harmonizing of the
divine with the human in man, the adjustment of his god-like
qualities and aspirations, and their sway over the terrestrial or
animal passions in him. Kindness, absence of every ill feeling
or selfishness, charity, good-will to all beings, and perfect
justice to others as to one's self, are its chief features. He
who teaches Theosophy preaches the gospel of good-will; and the
converse of this is true also, -- he who preaches the gospel of
good-will, teaches Theosophy." [BCW 9, 245]
