Wisdom of the Heart, The

In Theosophy, the author declares, are solutions to all problems that vex the sober thinking mind. Theosophy provides a humane approach to the right treatment of the downtrodden and outcast of humanity and it offers real remedies for poverty, vice, and crime. It shows the fallacy of war for which the only cures are regeneration and the application of universal ideals. It proclaims that unbrotherliness is the insanity of our ages, that ethics are rooted in the universe, that we are responsible for our thoughts and actions and reap what we sow: that death has a beauty we can learn to understand, and that life after life brings needed renewal and opportunity to growth which can result in the realization of our highest hopes.
