The possible truths, hazily perceived in the world of abstraction, like those inferred from observation and experiment in the world of matter, are forced upon the profane multitudes, too busy to think for themselves, under the form of Divine revelation and scientific authority. But the same question stands open from the days of [[Socrates]] and [[w:Pontius Pilate|Pilate]] down to our own age of wholesale negation: is there such a thing as absolute truth in the hands of any one party or man? Reason answers, "there cannot be." There is no room for absolute truth upon any subject whatsoever, in a world as finite and conditioned as man is himself. But there are relative truths, and we have to make the best we can of them. | |||

"There is often greater martyrdom to live for the love of, whether man or an ideal, than to die" is a motto of the [[w:Mahātmā|Mahatmas]]. | |||

There is no religion higher than truth. | |||
Motto of the Theosophical Society. See for instance: [http://www.katinkahesselink.net/blavatsky/articles/v6/y1884_016.htm Blavatsky Collected Writings, Volume 6, p. 168] | |||

Nothing of that which is conducive to help man, collectively or individually, to live — not "happily" — but less unhappily in this world, ought to be indifferent to the Theosophist-Occultist. It is no concern of his whether his help benefits a man in his worldly or spiritual progress; his first duty is to be ever ready to help if he can, without stopping to philosophize. | |||

I speak "with absolute certainty" only so far as my own personal belief is concerned. Those who have not the same warrant for their belief as I have, would be very credulous and foolish to accept it on blind faith. Nor does the writer believe any more than her correspondent and his friends in any "authority" let alone "divine revelation"! | |||
