The main object of the Theosophical Society is the formation of a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood. The same is the object of every real esoteric organization. It seems though that this object remains in the sphere of utopia as Blavatsky herself mentioned in the The Key to Theosophy. Bright as a star this object remains as one of the deepest human longings – the key to harmonious relationships – a blessing humanity has aspired for so long. Theosophical teachings enlighten us by showing that as the Cyclopes and the Laistrygones* we won’t find it if we begin the search from our personal nature only (according to our Alexandrian poet**). Universal Brotherhood can be a reality in the world only when it is a reality within us.

As it is accepted by almost all esoteric teachings, each expressing it in its own way, at every moment a thousand monkeys are frenetically dancing within our mind, each one striving to seize the rein of our thoughts, words and actions.

Until we manage to harmonize all the different aspects of our personality, until we are able to decapitate the many heads of the monster of our desires and passions, it is impossible to bring tranquility to the thousands monkeys within us.

The esoteric philosophy is beside us, in front of us and within us. We can realize it now, at this very moment. It is up to each of us to realize it. Thus the path for a profound Universal Brotherhood will be open for us. It lies in the harmony that comes from within, in the deep esoteric realization that each one of us is a piece of the great mosaic, that each one of us is part of a greater and unknown design. This path leads to the realization that every piece is essential in the design of beauty and plenitude for each other piece to be expressed in its fullness. This harmonic combination and interaction is the very essence of Universal Brotherhood. From the realization of this essential unity within diversity Universal Brotherhood awakens within us. Its rich seeds begin to spread, bringing the so much wanted spring and causing this dark winter of humanity to come to an end.

The journey begins within us extending to our family, our brothers and sisters, within our Theosophical Society and, like endless growing circles, it will create a paradise on earth.
