[A Textbook of Theosophy by C.W. Leadbeater]@TWC D-Link bookA Textbook of Theosophy CHAPTER II 6/12
But the inner Truth is always the same, and the source from which it comes is the same, even though the external phases may appear to be different and even contradictory.
It is foolish for men to wrangle over the question of the superiority of one teacher or one form of teaching to another, for the teacher is always one sent by the Great Brotherhood of Adepts, and in all its important points, in its ethical and moral principles, the teaching has always been the same. There is in the world a body or Truth which lies at the back of all these religions, and represents the facts of nature as far as they are at present known to man.
In the outer world, because of their ignorance of this, people are always disputing and arguing about whether there is a God; whether man survives death; whether definite progress is possible for him, and what is his relation to the universe.
These questions are ever present in the mind of man as soon as intelligence is awakened.
They are not unanswerable, as is frequently supposed; the answers to them are within the reach of anyone who will make proper efforts to find them.
