Our very well-being, physically and spiritually, depends in no small part upon our moral character relating to right and wrong. Only by making those choices we know to be right, based on reason and intuition, do we realize our humanity. In and of itself, there is nothing finer.
There lies in this, however, an inherent danger: In such a state of personal comfort we tend to become complacent. The plight of our fellowman is obscured by thoughts of our own self-interest. It is for this very reason that we must rise above our complacency to be ever-conscious of the needs of others.
Not everyone, to be sure, falls prey to this state of self-interest. Those who freely render help and understanding to others would be the first to affirm that, individually, we can make a difference in the lives of others. How much greater, though, would be our reach and how much more life-changing to those suffering and in need were we to come together and adhere to Mme. H.P. Blavatsky’s dictum as stated in Vol.3, p.262, of her “Secret Doctrine”: “The first and fundamental principle of moral strength and power is association and solidarity of thought and purpose.”
