THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
Speaking to the Theosophical Society on ‘ The Purpose of Life ’ last evening, Miss C. Dalziel said that nearly everyone asked the why and wherefore of his existence at some period of his life. The theory that every mart was a new soul coming to earth for the first time did not offer any light on the problems of different environments, varying moral qualities, and Opportunities confronting each one of us, but the doctrine of reincarnation appealed immediately to the thinking man as the key to our existence here with all its complexities. The speaker said the various nations of the world had each a keynote. Persia had purity, Greece had beauty, India had dharma (duty), and so on, each contributing to the complete development of man. Since India was the root stock from all Aryan races came, she was the spiritual mother of us all and formed, the complementary nation to Britain.
