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.

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.

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. "
