Theos-Talk Archives (October 2003 Message tt00269)

My dears 
I donīt wish to offend anyone but i felt that this message was also addressed to me...due to my short last comments. 
I have a humble opinion on that.
Every human being is a son of god. 
Theosophy has taught us about that in different manners. 
But compassion can be done in many different ways too. 
Sometimes one must suffer to learn a lesson - be it a criticism, a censure, 
HPB said " theosophist should gain the wisdom to help others effectually, not blindly." 
Those who donīt wish to be helped cannot be helped. 
Gautama Buddha used to say that the path for illumination is the self improvement first, it means that we cannot help anyone if we donīt help ourselves first. 
I think that the true theosophist is not an alienated person. 
When, for example, Jesus Christ, according to gospel, said to turn the other side of the face He didnīt mean to act like a fool and accept every injury or slander. 
I think that not even a true theosophist needs to accept every word or person for granted, principally when lying. 
We do not grow in spirituality letting others prejudicing us.
It is not compassion.

Hi,

I would like to share this quote with you...

"Self-sacrifice is the highest standard of Theosophy.
It is not by studying Occultism for selfish ends, for
the gratification of ones personal ambition, pride, or
vanity, that one can ever reach the true goal -- that
of helping suffering humanity. Compassion is the Law
of Laws -- eternal harmony. To feel "Compassion"
without an adequate practical result is not Altruism.
The first of the Theosophical duties is to do one's
duty by all men. For every flower of love and charity
you plant in your neighbor's garden, a loathsome weed
will disappear from your own. There is no happiness
for one who is ever thinking of self and forgetting
all other selves. The duty -- let alone happiness --
of every Theosophist is certainly to help others to
carry their burden. A Theosophist should gain the
wisdom to help others effectually, not blindly. The
human heart has not yet fully uttered itself. If
unable to toil for humanity, work for the few who need
your help. The principle of Brotherhood is one of the
eternal truths that govern the world's progress. Step
out of sunlight into shade to make more room for
others." H.P.B

It's easy to turn your back for those that disturbes,
for those that does not say sweet words, or are
unpleasant. It's easy to criticize or to make fun of
things without having understanding. It's difficult to
cultivate compassion, understanding and patiente, such
qualities are for the real theosophists. Unfortunatly
all the time we have the opportunity to see how rare
they are.
