"We may be either the suffering slaves of nature or the happy masters of her laws." Happiness is your natural birthright. Suffering arises from ignorance alone. Within every human being lie latent powers through which pain may be transmuted into joy. L. W. Rogers affirms that within each of us resides an inexhaustible source of power and wisdom, awaiting awakening. Through the deliberate cultivation of three essential qualities-ardent desire, iron will, and alert intelligence-together with regular meditation, spiritual growth is hastened and life is consciously directed. Why do we suffer? How may we escape recurring cycles of pain, poverty, and disappointment? Rogers answers these perennial questions by outlining practical methods for strengthening the will, developing concentration, and attaining spiritual illumination. This is no promise of sudden transformation, but a dependable path toward true inner evolution. Whether one seeks release from suffering, aspires to serve humanity more effectively, or desires to awaken dormant spiritual faculties, this classic of Theosophical literature provides a firm foundation. Now available in a large print edition for easy, comfortable reading.
