When you understand life, life becomes bearable; and never till you understand it will it cease to be a burden grievous to be borne; but when you understand it, everything changes.

When you realise its meaning, its value, you can put up with the difficulties.

And our work with regard to those around us is to bring that knowledge, and by that knowledge to lift them to a place of peace.

That is the work which demands to be done, and which your Lodges have the duty of doing.

For there ought not to be one scheme for human helping, in any place where a Lodge of the Theosophical Society is established, where in that Lodge workers may not be found ready and eager to give labor to the helping of their brothers amongst whom they live.
