Ideals of Theosophy 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But we must add a little more yet to our definition, thoroughly to understand what an Ideal means. A wrong idea may be a fixed idea – a fixed idea which is not in harmony with facts and with the nature Of things. Such a fixed idea makes the maniac, but not the Hero or the Saint. SO we must prefix an adjective to the word idea. It must be a right idea, a true idea, one which is in harmony with facts and at one with truth.
