But like all things it has been followed by a reaction, and men have run to the other extreme: that nothing matters except conduct, and action alone is to be considered.

But your action is the result of your thought of yesterday, and follows your yesterday as its expression in the outer world; your thought of to-day is your action of to-morrow, and your future depends on its accuracy and its truth, on its consonance with reality.

Hence it is all-important in the modern world to give back to thought its right place as above action, as its inspirer and its guide.

For the human spirit by its expression as intellect judges, decides, directs, controls.

Its activity is the outcome of its thinking; and if without caring for thought you plunge into action, you have the constant experiments, feeble and fruitless, which so largely characterise our modern life.
Pass, then, from that first assertion of the importance of right thinking, to see what message Theosophy has for the world of religious thought.
