SOME EFFECTS OF THEOSOPHY 69

and therefore the oneness of life is an unchanging
law. We may in our ignorance and blindness
work for that which separates, make our own
separations and divisions; but in so far as we
work for any separation or for ourselves against
the whole, which is in itself a separating force,
so far shall we break ourselves on the wheel
which is the inevitable, unbreakable law of God.
I spoke of this in my article on action and reac-
tion. In God's world there cannot be division. We
work with His Law or we work against it. It
cannot break,—so we inevitably must, sooner or
later. To sum this up in a word, we work
against God's law if we work for ourselves, and
we work with God's law or plan of evolution if
we realise that we are all one and work as part
of a whole for the good of the whole.

In everyday life it is comparatively easy to
note those who have caught a glint of the
necessity of non-separation. Take a statesman.
How can he work selfishly and be a good
statesman? He must put himself aside and
work for the nation, if he is to aspire to the
name of statesman. Carry this a little further,
let us not stop at the working for a nation,
but for the good of all nations. The League
of Nations is the greatest ideal to unite nations
that has ever been set forth to the world
