An Outline
of Theosophy
By
Charles
Webster Leadbeater
The
Three Great Truths
In one of our earliest Theosophical books it was
written that there are three truths which are absolute and cannot be lost, but
yet may remain silent for lack of speech. They are as great as life itself, and
yet as simple as the simplest mind of man. I can hardly do better than
paraphrase these for the greatest of my general principles.
I will then give some corollaries which follow
naturally from them, and then, thirdly, some of the more prominent of the
advantageous results which
necessarily attend this definite knowledge. Having
thus outlined the scheme in tabular form, I will take it up point by point, and
endeavour to offer such elementary explanations as come within the scope of
this little introductory book.
1. God exists, and He is good. He is the great
life-giver who dwells within us and without us, is undying and eternally
beneficent. He is not heard,
nor seen, nor touched, yet is perceived by the man who
desires perception.
2. Man is immortal, and his future is one whose glory
and splendour have no limit.
3. A Divine law of absolute justice rules the world,
so that each man is in truth his own judge, the dispenser of glory or gloom to
himself, the decreer
of his life, his reward, his punishment.
To each of these great truths are attached certain
others, subsidiary and explanatory.
From the first of them it follows:-
1. That, in spite of appearance, all things are
definitely and intelligently moving together for good; that all circumstances,
however untoward they may seem, are in reality exactly what are needed; that
everything around us tends, not to hinder us, but to help us, if it is only
understood.
2.That since the whole scheme thus tends to man’s
benefit, clearly it is his duty to learn to understand it.
3That when he thus understands it, it is also his duty
intelligently to co-operate in this scheme.
From the second great truth it follows:-
1.That the true man is a soul, and that this body is
only an appanage.
2.That he must therefore, regard everything from the
standpoint of the soul, and that in every case when an internal struggle takes
place he must realise his identity with the higher and not with the lower.
3.That what we commonly call his life is only one day
in his true and larger life.
4.That death is a matter of far less importance than
is usually supposed, since it is by no means the end of life, but merely the
passage from one stage of it to another.
5.That man has an immense evolution behind him, the
study of which is most fascinating, interesting and instructive.
6.That he has also a splendid evolution before him,
the study of which will be even more fascinating and instructive.
7.That there is an absolute certainty of final
attainment for every human soul, no matter how far he may have seemed to have
strayed from the path of evolution.
From the third great truth it follows:-
1.That every thought, word, or action produces its
definite result – not a reward or a punishment imposed from without, but a
result inherent in the action itself, definitely connected with it in the
relation of cause and effect, these being really but two inseparable parts of
one whole.
2.That it is both the duty and interest of man to
study this divine law closely, so that he will be able to adapt himself to it
and to use it, as we use other great laws of nature.
3.That it is necessary for man to attain perfect
control over himself, so that he may guide his life intelligently in accordance
with this law.
