The Brotherhood OF Humanity has its
sure foundation on the spiritual plane.
The intellect is the separative principle
In man, that is conscious of itself and
sees all else as outside itself and alien.
The very word brotherhood connates
identity of blood and inequality of de-
velopnIent, and il, therefore, repre-
sents exactly the link between all ere
atures in the un1verse-identity of es-
sential life and differences In the stages
reached in the manifestation of that
life. We are one in our origin. one In
the method Of cur evolution, one in our
goal, and the differences in our age
and stature but give opportunity for
the growth of the tenderest ties. Men
Gre shut out from their brothers hearts
by differences of race, of class, of coun-
try: the man who is wise by love rises
above all these petty differences, and
sees all drawing their life from the one
source. all as part of one family
brotherhood Is, whether men ignore IL
or dcny it. Mans ignorance does not
crush those who oppose them and
break everything not in harmony with
them. Therefore, can no nation endure
that outrages brotherhood. We have
not to make brotherhood; IL exists. We
have to attune our lives into harmony
with II il We desire that We and our
works shall not perish, for IL is a spir-
itual unity; II Is life and not a form,
more real than any outward organiza-
u4n through which II may express 1t
self.
The Theosophical Society Is founded
on the principle Of brotherhood.
