    Theosophy In Daily Life

    Many people think that religion means a preparation for death or


    the states of the future. Religion really means a preparation for
    and a knowledge of life - a living of our life as it should be
    lived. That which prepares for death is life, and ever living.
    Formal religions do not even answer the question, why is death -
    nor any of the other burning questions in daily life. Why do we
    have suffering and sorrow? Why are we here? What was the
    origin of man?
    Why so many different conditions among mankind; why are
    some born to sorrow, and others to joy; why some in lowly
    places, some in high; why some with great faculties and others
    with very few and poor ones? Justice demands an answer which
    is not furnished by religion, with its so-called "mysteries" - for if
    man is the creature of a creator he cannot help himself and is
    absolutely irresponsible. Any being, if perfect, would maintain
    justice; yet there are injustices among men. The caprice or whim
    of a creator does not explain the difficulty. Any being, however
    great or high, must of necessity be limited, finite, and imperfect
    - something outside us, something which does not contain the
    universe but is contained by it.
    We have to go behind any idea of a Being, to the source of all
    being - to a basis common to the highest and to the lowest being.
    That basis and source is not to be found by looking outward at
    all, but is the very power to perceive, wherever there is life.
    Spirit, Life, Consciousness are the same in every being -
    undivided, however many and varied the perceptions. Evolution
    is not a compelling force from without, but the impelling force
    of Spirit from within, urging on to better and better expression
    through spiritual evolution. All advancement is from within.
    All the knowledge that we gain, all the experience that we
    obtain, is obtained and held within.
    Each one, then, is the Seer; all the rest are seen. So, the
    knowledge that we have to obtain is not information from
    without, not the thoughts of other men, but an understanding of
    our own essential nature, which represents every element in the
    great universe, from the basis of all life to every outward
    expression, and every possibility of further expression - just as
    each drop of water contains in itself everything existing in the
    great ocean from which it came. Nor does Law exist outside of
    us. Law is always inherent in Spirit; it is the action which brings
    re-action in every individual case, and to the collective mass of
    humanity. We are here under the law of Karma and we go
    through the cycle of reincarnation under justice. There is no
    such thing as injustice in the universe.
    You will find more on these topics in the over-1000 articles and
    books at the Theosophy Trust website (theosophytrust.org)
    written by H.P Blavatsky, W.Q. Judge, and Robert Crosbie, and
    in the Lead Articles from HERMES Magazine by Raghavan
    Iyer.
