The political parties have unanimously rejected the one-man constitutional changes. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
In the Bhagavad Gita, there is no long discussion, nothing elaborate. The main reason for this is that everything stated in the Gita is meant to be tested in the life of every man; it is intended to be verified in practice. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Stand not too near the rich man lest he destroy thee - and not too far away lest he forget thee. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The Tories, every election, must have a bogy man. If you haven't got a programme, a bogy man will do. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
What is the essence of theosophy? It is the fact that man, being himself divine, can know the divinity whose life he shares. As an inevitable corollary to this supreme truth comes the fact of the brotherhood of man. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The worlds in which man is evolving as he treads the circle of births and deaths are three: the physical world, the astral or intermediate world, the mental or heavenly world. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The idea of reverence for God is transmitted from parent to child, it is educated into an abnormal development, and thus almost indefinitely strengthened, but yet it does appear to me that the bent to worship is an integral part of man's nature. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The divine life is the spirit in everything that exists, from the atom to the archangel; the grain of dust could not be were God absent from it; the loftiest seraph is but a spark from the eternal fire, which is God. Sharers in one life all form one brotherhood. The immanence of God, the solidarity of man, such are the basic truths of theosophy. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Science regards man as an aggregation of atoms temporarily united by a mysterious force called the life-principle. To the materialist, the only difference between a living and a dead body is that in the one case that force is active, in the other latent. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Man is ever searching for the source whence he has come, searching for the life which is upwelling within him, immortal, nay, eternal and divine; and every religion is the answer from the Universal Spirit to the seeking spirits of men that came forth from Him. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Men are at every stage of evolution, from the most barbarous to the most developed; men are found of lofty intelligence, but also of the most unevolved mentality; in one place there is a highly developed and complex civilisation, in another a crude and simple polity. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
'Easter' is a movable event, calculated by the relative positions of sun and moon, an impossible way of fixing year by year the anniversary of a historical event, but a very natural and indeed inevitable way of calculating a solar festival. These changing dates do not point to the history of a man, but to the hero of a solar myth. Nov 26, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
