Work for Others

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.

The good and the beautiful

Dear friends,

 

Like B.P.Wadia wrote,

 

"We have to learn to see the good and the lovely side of beings and things. Nothing can be perfect in this world and we have to build our own complete perfection out of a variety of perfections mixed up with gross imperfections.
