Dear friends,

I share with you some wise words of Robert Crosbie and John Garrigues on the theme “Obstacles and opportunities.”

*****

“Everybody on the Path goes through similar obstacles; by having them and overcoming them, you become teachers with knowledge of how to help. If you had no obstacles, you would not know how. Thank Karma for “obstacles.”

Dear friends,

By the end of her life, HPB made an intense effort to emphasize the importance of the practical application of Ethics in everyday life.
