„Вселенная родилась из акта любви.“

„Есть много любителей чтения. Но не чтение созидает разум; созидает его лишь собственное мышление. Чтение помогает лишь настолько, насколько оно доставляет материал для мышления. Человек может много читать, но умственный его рост будет в соответствии с возникающими за этим чтением собственными мыслями.
Вся ценность для него вычитанных мыслей зависит от того употребления, которое он сделает из них.“

„Воистину человек есть создание желаний своих; каково его желание, такова его мысль; какова его мысль, таково его действие; подобно тому, как он действует, так он и достигает. Так воистину желающий идет своими деяниями к предмету, в который погружен его ум.“

„Потребители мяса ответственны за всю ту боль и страдания, что проистекают из мясоедения и обусловлены самим фактом употребления живых существ в пищу. Не только ужасы скотобойни, но и предшествующие им пытки транспортировки, голод, жажда, нескончаемые муки страха, которые эти несчастные создания обречены сносить ради того, чтобы утолить гастрономические прихоти человека… вся эта боль ложится тяжким бременем на род человеческий, замедляя, тормозя его прогресс и развитие…“

Анни Безант

„То, что на обычном человеческом языке называется любовью, эта страсть, пробуждающаяся от соприкосновения двух личностей, не есть только средство, благодаря которому поколения приходят на землю. Она создает также жизнь и в мире потустороннем. Она является способом перехода с земли на небо, от вещей материальных к вещам духовным.“

Анни Безант

„Человеческая любовь кончается вместе со здешней человеческой жизнью; поэтому необходимо узнать и испытать ее вполне, ибо уроки, которым она учит, составляют часть опыта человеческого странствия. Любовь, удовлетворение, чувство единения, приходящие по ту сторону человеческой жизни, невыразимо сладостнее и сильнее, чем какое-либо человеческое чувство; но они достигаются благодаря человеческим переживаниям. Для человека нет другого пути.“

The Life And Teachings Of Muhammad: Two Lectures by Annie Besant http://hpb.narod.ru/LifeTeachingsOfMuhammadAB.html

“Man, according to the Theosophical teaching, is a sevenfold being, or, in the usual phrase a septenary constitution. Putting it yet in another way, man's nature has seven aspects, may be studied from seven different points of view, is composed of Seven Principles.”

“In this way the Soul deliberately labours for growth; deliberately it works at itself, purifying always the lower nature with unceasing effort and with untiring demand; for ever it is comparing itself not with those who are below it but with Those who are above it, ever it is raising its eyes towards Those who have achieved, and not looking downwards towards those who are still only climbing upwards towards the Outer Court.”

“No one can eat the flesh of a slaughtered animal without having used the hand of a man as slaughterer. Suppose that we had to kill for ourselves the creatures whose bodies we would fain have upon our table, is there one woman in a hundred who would go to the slaughterhouse to slay the bullock, the calf, the sheep or the pig?… Dare we call ourselves refined if we purchase our refinement by the brutalization of others, and demand that some should be brutal in order that we may eat the results of their brutality? We are not free from the brutalizing results of that trade simply because we take no direct part in it.”

The Case for India: The Presidential Address http://books.google.co.in/books?id=qpoxAQAAMAAJ, p. 33

“The object of this book is to suggest certain lines of thought as to the deep truths underlying Christianity, truths generally overlooked, and only too often denied. The generous wish to share with all what is precious, to spread broadcast priceless truths, to shut out none from the illumination of true knowledge, has resulted in a zeal without discretion that has vulgarised Christianity, and has presented its teachings in a form that often repels the heart and alienates the intellect. The command to “preach the gospel to very creature” – though admittedly by doubtful authenticity – has been interpreted as forbidding the teaching of Gnosis to a few, and has apparently erased the less popular saying of the same Great Teacher “Give not that is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.””

“Looking at them, it does not seem as though even progress in intellect, slow as that also is, made the pace very much more rapid. When we look at those whose intellect is scarcely developed, they seem after each day of life to sink to sleep almost on the place they occupied the day before; and when we glance over those who are more highly evolved so far as intellect is concerned, they too are travelling very very slowly, and seem to make small progress in each day of life.”

“We find amongst animals, as amongst men, power of feeling pleasure, power of feeling pain; we see them moved by love and by hate; we see them feeling terror and attraction; we recognize in them powers of sensation closely akin to our own, and while we transcend them immensely in intellect, yet, in mere passional characteristics our natures and the animals' are closely allied. We know that when they feel terror, that terror means suffering. We know that when a wound is inflicted, that wound means pain to them. We know that threats bring to them suffering; they have a feeling of shrinking, of fear, of absence of friendly relations, and at once we begin to see that in our relations to the animal kingdom a duty arises which all thoughtful and compassionate minds should recognize - the duty that because we are stronger in mind than the animals, we are or ought to be their guardians and helpers, not their tyrants and oppressors, and we have no right to cause them suffering and terror merely for the gratification of the palate, merely for an added luxury to our own lives.”

A speech given at Manchester UK (18 October 1897) https://ivu.org/history/besant/text.html

“I define the Soul as that which individualises the Universal Spirit, which focuses the Universal Light into a single point; which is, as it were, a receptacle into which is poured the Spirit; so that that which in Itself is universal, poured into this receptacle appears as separate, identical in its essence always but separated now in its manifestation; the purpose of this separation being that an individual may develop and grow; that there may be an individualised life potent on every plane in the Universe; that it may know on the physical and on the psychical planes as it knows on the spiritual, and have no break in consciousness of any kind; that it may make for itself the vehicles that it needs for acquiring consciousness beyond its own plane, and then may gradually purify them one by one until they no longer act as blinds or as hindrances, but as pure and translucent media through which all knowledge on every plane may come.”

“Mysticism is the realisation of God, of the Universal Self. It is attained either as a realisation of God outside the Mystic, or within himself. In the first case, it is usually reached from within a religion, by exceptionally intense love and devotion, accompanied by purity of life, for only "the pure in heart shall see God."”

“And thus daily, and month by month, and year by year, he will work at his mind, training it in these consecutive habits of thought, and he will learn to choose that of which he thinks; he will no longer allow thoughts to come and go; he will no longer permit a thought to grip him and hold him; he will no longer let a thought come into the mind and fix itself there and decline to be evicted; he will be master within his own house… he will say: “No; no such anxiety shall remain within my mind; no such thought shall have shelter within my mind; within this mind nothing stays that is not there by my choice and my invitation, and that which comes uninvited shall be turned outside the limits of my mind.”

“At last, after many lives of striving, many lives of working, growing purer and nobler and wiser, life after life, the Soul makes a distinct and clear speaking forth of a will that now has grown strong; and when that will announces itself as a clear and definite purpose, no longer the whisper that aspires, but the word that commands, then that resolute will strikes at the gateway which leads to the Outer Court of the Temple, and strikes with a knocking which none may deny— for it has in it the strength of the Soul that is determined to achieve, and that has learned enough to understand the vastness of the task that it undertakes.”

“If people want to eat meat, they should kill the animals for themselves… Nor should they say that if they did not do it the slaughter would still go on… Every person who eats meat takes a share in that degradation of his fellow-men; on him and on her personally lies the share, and personally lies the responsibility.”
