"A man is not great merely because he thinks lofty thoughts , because his ideas equal in sublimity the loftiest that the human race knows, nor because he is a preacher of beautiful phrases. A man is great only in proportion as these, through his own deliberate will, manifest themselves in his daily life. Such a man becomes a light, lighting not merely his own pathway on the endless pilgrimage of eternity, but shining afar as a star giving light unto his fellows, providing an ever-flowing inspiration into their hearts"-G. De Purucker-Theosophist, 1874-1942

How great is man? (Quotation by G. De Purucker)
"A man is not great merely because he thinks lofty thoughts , because his ideas equal in sublimity the loftiest that the human race knows, nor because he is a preacher of beautiful phrases. A man is great only in proportion as these, through his own deliberate will, manifest themselves in his daily life. Such a man becomes a light, lighting not merely his own pathway on the endless pilgrimage of eternity, but shining afar as a star giving light unto his fellows, providing an ever-flowing inspiration into their hearts"-G. De Purucker-Theosophist, 1874-1942
