Ancient Wisdom And The Law Of Sacrifice

Ancient Wisdom and the Law of Sacrifice is a book written by Annie Besant, a prominent Theosophist and social reformer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this book, Besant explores the concept of sacrifice as it is understood in various ancient wisdom traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. She argues that sacrifice is not simply a matter of giving up something valuable, but rather a spiritual practice that involves aligning oneself with the divine will and offering oneself in service to others. Besant draws on a wide range of sources, including religious texts, philosophical treatises, and her own personal experiences, to illuminate the meaning and significance of sacrifice in different cultural contexts. Ultimately, she argues that the practice of sacrifice is essential for spiritual growth and enlightenment, and that it can help individuals to overcome their egoism and connect with the divine. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of a fundamental aspect of human spirituality, and it offers insights that are relevant to readers of all religious and philosophical backgrounds.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ancient Wisdom: An Outline of Theosophical Teachings, by Annie Besant.
