These three objectives are the foundation for the work of the Theosophical Society . They can be interpreted on several levels.

The word “fraternity” in the first objective is used regardless of gender . This goal is aimed at offering space for people to come together and share their search for truth , irrespective of any external differences . Practice of this objective is a concrete recognition of common essential nature and origin of mankind. It encourages us to appreciate the external differences as something that enriches our experience , instead of being a source of hatred and wars . HP Blavatsky , co-founder of the Theosophical Society wrote: ” Social discrimination as a result of natural evolution and material environment kept racial hatred and sectarianism and social antipathy that if we attack from the outside, invincible . But since human nature is the same, all people are susceptible to the effects , the center of which is the human heart and appeal to human intuition . And because there is only one Absolute Truth , which is the life and soul of all the people , it is possible reciprocal Association for Research and expansion of this basic truth.”

For “research and dissemination of this basic truth” , the second objective of the Theosophical Society proposes a comparative study of three different approaches that humanity has adopted for the understanding of life : religion , philosophy and science . The Theosophical Society was also the first organization in modern times , who has promoted interfaith activities around the world and in a systematic manner . One of its objectives was to bring the wisdom of the East to the West , when religion , neither Judaism is not Christianity , considered merely as superstition . Thanks to the work of the Theosophical Society , they become words such as karma , yoga and many other well-known to the general public outside academia . It was also the first organization Association , which is guided in its work to bridge the gap between science and spirituality at the time were classified as totally incompatible..

The third objective is encouraging us to explore what was once called the ” hidden side ” of life and people. From the perspective of Theosophy is very important to know the deeper meaning of life , spiritual laws that guide our development , and discover how to awaken spiritual potential , which is an integral part of each of us. This is the only convincing basis for peace on earth . The law of harmony and cooperation can not be achieved through policy and social reforms (though necessary) , but the transformation of the human heart and mind. When HP Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society reviewed the achievements of the first fourteen years , he wrote: ” … the key to all of our above-mentioned successes in recognition of the fact our Higher Self – colorless , cosmopolitan , non-sectarian , sexless , selfless , altruistic – and the implementation of our work on this basis. To free minded human, agnostic, scientist with superficial knowledge , such results would have been prohibitive , and even unimaginable . Peaceful society is utopian , because no amount of arguments based on outside thinking about social morality or fairness, can not turn the hearts of the national rulers of selfish wars and schemes of conquest.”
