Back to classic theosophy quotes

Nothing of that which is conductive to help man, collectively or individually, to live - not "happily" - but less unhappily in this world, ought to be indifferent to the Theosophist-Occultist. It is no concern of his whether his help benefits a man in his worldly or spiritual progress; his first duty is to be ever ready to help if he can, without stopping to philosophize.

H.P. Blavatsky Coll. Wr. XI, p. 465
