In The Theosophic Life the author describes limiting and useful attitudes to life. We are encouraged to serve our neighbour in love, to use the wisdom we've been assigned, to really act in everyday life according to the doctrine that we study. The author also emphasises the responsibility that comes with knowledge. She says:
"We serve the race in serving our nearest neighbour, and we may glorify every pettiest act of service by seeing behind the recipient the great ideal: In serving you I serve the race, and you are the race's hand."
