Opis: Ancient Ideals in Modern Life - Besant Annie

Excerpt from Ancient Ideals in Modern Life: Four Lectures Delivered at the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Meeting of the Theosophical Society, at Benares, December, 1900

In the following lectures I have endeavoured to discharge the duty incumbent on the spiritual Teacher - however humble the grade - of holding up the ideal to be aimed at, of reproving the evils of the day, of indicating the path along which the ideal may be approached. The task is one beset with difficulties, but not for that reason may it be avoided; cowards shrink back, appalled by obstacles; heroes overcome them.

At the dawning of the twentieth century, India stands near the parting of the ways; one way leads downwards to death, the other upwards to life. Many of her noblest children are hopeless of her future, and would let her expire peacefully rather than prolong the death-passage by remedies deemed useless. Others, loving her well but ignorantly, would, in the effort to save her, cast aside to the winds all her traditions, and seek by modern western medicines her cure - but really her death.
