“Enq: And yet its enemies are very numerous, and every day Theosophy acquires new opponents.
Theo: And this is precisely that which proves its intrinsic excellence and value.
People hate only things they fear, and no one goes out of his way to overthrow that which neither threatens nor rises beyond mediocrity.
Enq: Do you hope to impart this enthusiasm, one day, to the masses?
Theo: Why not? since history tells us that the masses adopted Buddhism with enthusiasm, while, as said before, the practical effect upon them of this philosophy of ethics is still shown by the smallness of the percentage of crime amongst Buddhist populations as compared with every other religion.
The chief point is, to uproot that most fertile source of all crime and immorality – the belief that it is possible for them to escape the consequences of their own actions.
Once teach them that greatest of all laws, Karma and Reincarnation, and besides feeling in themselves the true dignity of human nature, they will turn from evil and eschew it as they would a physical danger.”
