The Theosophical Society is a worldwide body whose primary objective
is Universal Brotherhood based on the realization that life, and all
its diverse forms, human and non-human, is indivisibly one. The
Society imposes no belief on its members, who are united by a common
search for Truth and desire to learn the meaning and purpose of
existence by engaging themselves in study, reflection, purity of life
and loving service. |
