New group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Theosophy1 is for those who 
study teaching of Annie Besant and Mr. Leadbeater. Obviously it is 
not for diehard Blavatskians so they may not join it. However they 
may join my other group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AnandGholap

May Reverend Leadbeater bless you.

than in this; it makes him absolutely one-pointed. Of course I do not 
mean that it causes him to neglect any duty that he used to do; on 
the contrary, the never-ceasing watch to fulfil every duty is its 
first prescription. But it gives him a keynote of life which is 
always sounding in his ears, which he never forgets for an instant-- 
the key-note of helpfulness. Why? Because he learns what is the plan 
of the LOGOS, and tries to co-operate in it. 
> 379. This 
involves many lines of action. To be able to help effectively he must 
make himself fit to help; hence he must undertake the most careful 
self-training, the elimination of evil qualities from himself, the 
development merit of good ones. Also he must maintain a constant 
watchfulness for opportunities to help.

> 380. One 
special method of helping the world lies ready to the hand of members 
of our Society-- that of spreading Theosophic truth. We have no right 
and no desire to force our ideas on any one, but it is our duty and 
our privilege to give people the opportunity of knowing the real 
explanation of the problems of life. If when the water of life is 
offered, a man will not drink, that is his own affair; but at least 
we should see that none perishes through ignorance of the existence 
of that water . 
> 
> 381. We 
have then this duty of spreading the truth, and nothing should be 
allowed to interfere with it. This is the work that as a Society we 
have to do, and we must remember that the duty is binding upon each 
of us. Our minds must be filled with it, we must be constantly 
thinking and planning for it, seizing every opportunity that offers. 
It is not for us to excuse ourselves because some other member seems 
to be doing nothing; that is his business, and we are in no way 
concerned in it; but if we ourselves neglect to do our very best, we 
are failing in our duty. It was not to illumine our own path that 
this glorious light came to us, but that we also in our turn might be 
light-bearers to our suffering brothers. "
