THEOSOPHY AND THE PLANET

Friends, 


What can we do to build a better world? 


An article on this topic opens with some lines by Robert Crosbie:  


"Where shall we find the true foundation for a changed civilization 
that all men and women can see and stand on? It is not philosophies 
nor religions nor political panaceas that are needed; but Knowledge, 
and a wider scope of vision than the vicissitudes of one short 
physical life. The knowledge that is greater than all the forms of 
religion ever invented is the knowledge of the very nature of man 
himself, for himself and in himself."  

And the article, published in 2004 in the magazine "The Theosophical 
Movement" (Mumbai, India) goes on to describe things which now 
happen not only in India, but worldwide: 

"There are certain psychological diseases from which we in India are 
suffering today. Parochialism, creedalism, communalism and social 
conflicts are causing disturbances throughout the country, though 
their particular expressions differ in different areas. The remedy 
lies only in a proper observance of the Law of Brotherhood."

What about the karma?  The TTM text says: 

"Whether man likes it or not, the impersonal Law of Karma restores 
broken harmony and in the process pain and sorrow are produced. No 
kingdom in Nature, save the human, can practise the Law of 
Brotherhood, for man alone is self-conscious and has the power to 
choose. He can devise ways and means to participate in the 
evolutionary process and thus become an intelligent co-operator with 
Nature, working with the Law and not against it—labouring to restore 
broken harmony everywhere and desisting from breaking harmony 
anywhere. This he can do by a proper observance of the Law of 
Brotherhood."
