Theos-Talk Archives (May 2007 Message tt00021)

Thanks for your kind words too.

Many have been introduced to theosophy by the writings of Besant and
Leadbeater. I too have read quite a few of their books.

At some point we have to realize that we need to go beyond what anyone has
written. Once we do that, we can have an open mind, try to start seeing
things as they are (one of the most difficult thing to do) and inquire for
ourselves and have a better understanding of real life. Life is too short
and let us make the best use of it and be helpful to our fellow beings in
any way we can.
