The author has brought Theosophy back where it belongs, to our own life and experience . This is a pragmatic approach and analysis of Theosophy- unfettered by occult , spiritual, clairvoyant and other projections. This book shows us that Theosophy in its pristine form is very ancient and indicates the opposite of every kind of materialism, both scientific and religious. Theosophy or the Divine Wisdom belongs to the everyday world nurtured by our altruistic desires. Thought , Love or Will applied to our daily experience reveals its divine value, leading us to find the infinite in the finite. The Eastern concept of Satyam, sivam and sundaram (truth, goodness and beauty) are fittingly interwoven into the triad of thought , will, and action. This book will help the reader understand more clearly the true nature of Theosophy. This book is an imprint of the Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, and is imported from India.
