Theosophy comes like a current of pure air off the uncontaminated seas through the foul streets of a great city in summer. Theosophy is a breath of pure Spiritual teaching blown square across the fetid atmosphere that we call religion, philosophy and science. We all seek something, else we had not come inquiring to Theosophy; we cannot possibly have the imagination and the longing unless that which we desire and that for which we long, exists. In the teachings of Theosophy is to be found what a captain of a ship finds in the chart room; there is to be found the topography and the lines of action, of study, of reflection, of meditation, which shall lead into the position indicated by Krishna when he says: "I will now tell thee what is the object of wisdom from which a man enjoys immortality." Because we think we are mortal, the best enjoyments we can get are mortal enjoyments. The best enjoyments we can get are earthly enjoyments because we think we are of the earth earthy.

We are Spiritual, however ignorant, however corrupt, however depraved we may be. To cure that corruption, to remedy that depravity, to once more see God as omnipresent; to once more see the Supreme Spirit in all things is the final step in the path of Spiritual evolution. All Nature exists for no other purpose than for the sake of the Soul's experience and emancipation, and that all shall to some degree be helped to see, is the purpose of the teachings of Theosophy.

Only in the human form is it possible for life to attain its final goal, which is to realize the all-pervading and infinite Divinity.

- Meher Baba

Every honest student, no matter how far he has gone, realizes that the philosophy holds, in the darkness receding before his foot-steps, yet innumerable mysteries. On the other hand, any student, however little "advanced" recalls well when some long-unconquerable mystery suddenly solved itself as by a flash of light. True, it may not have been a very deep mystery; rather in fact, it may have been a mystery to others why the puzzled student was so delayed in his comprehension. But the perception was a step, and deeply important as illustrative of possibilities, to say the least. Now none of these problems get solved by simply puzzling over them in the schoolboy way. In fact, few of them get solved at all by a mere process of study. Often it is a combination of study -- from a particular basis -- with a general, deep flux of the nature and of the mental forces, brought about by sincere self-forgetfulness and the flow of will along worthy lines; all of which produce a reorientation of view permitting the man to glimpse the vistas of a valley hitherto unseen because, however keenly he had been looking, he had been looking in the wrong direction.
