Theos-Talk Archives (February 2002 Message tt00755)

Dear Ramadoss,

What an excellent opportunity you have to offer the kind of 
assistance which is substantial, to people who have problems, knowing 
about the principle of self-responsibility as you do. The study of 
theosophy offers us so many useful clues about our daily lives, and 
how to live effectively and successfully. It seems to me that this is 
one of its main strengths. It isn't really necessary to "preach" 
theosophy. If we just live our lives according to its guidelines, the 
positive effect on us and those around us is very powerful.
