1. Theosophytrust.org Library Contains Articles & Books for Spiritual Nourishment The work of Theosophy Trust involves spreading the Teachings of the Sanatana Dharma– or theosophia– via an online library (at https://theosophytrust.org) of the writings of H.P. Blavatsky, Raghavan Iyer, W.Q. Judge and Robert Crosbie, the recognized and accredited Teachers of the Theosophical Movement in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Those writings address the very real needs of human beings searching for spiritual sustenance and real spiritual meaning through enacting the highest ideals of Humanity in daily life. As self-governed individuals incarnate their ideals, they become inseparable from what they represent and from what they cherish. Thus they become able to tap the spiritual will- energy of other human beings, to touch their deepest hearts, awaken their minds and arouse their latent courage. An extraordinary dialectic takes place in human encounter as soon as it is seen from the standpoint of the forward looking and all- embracing, that which is transcendental and rooted in the plane of Akasha. Uncircumscribed by the logic of linearity and limitation, this dialectic is marked by a cool detachment and an unswerving toughness. This all-inclusive resourcefulness in the service of ideals is a characteristic of the Atman focussed through Buddhic intuition, sympathy and compassion in the

Once this true basis of ideals is touched, it becomes a potent force in the realm of action, lending immense meaning and richness, dignity and significance, to each and every day and to each responsibility, however modest. The master key to the release of the spiritual will is the recognition that one's immediate duty is supremely important. To it must be brought all one's energies. Because so many human beings have never really learnt to be whole-hearted or single-minded, they find that they have to act through vestures which are fragmented. This may be experienced as a lack of moral continuity, an inability to concentrate, a liability to forgetfulness, or an appearance of luck or any one of a number of ups and downs. All these, however, reflect only a fundamental misunderstanding of the external and internal state of the soul. Wherever ideals are seen as distant abstractions outside oneself, the energy and motion that belong to a great spiritual conception will be absent. Yet every human soul carries a vast capital acquired in other lives and a tremendous capacity to transcend all fear. Were this not true, there would be no reasonable prospect for the human condition. What is redemptive about the human scene is that again and again, even amidst cowardice, passivity and inertia, there appear unexpected flashes of fearlessness that cleanse everything

Individuals whose entire lives revolve around potent ideas and high ideals can bring total commitment, boundless zeal, complete fearlessness into their every action. Through the performance of their immediate duties, they act upon and touch the spiritual will in others. This fusion of sacrifice (yajna) on behalf of ideals with the performance of dharma is the hallmark of the highest spiritual confidence.
