Robert Crosbie (1849-1919) was a Canadian theosophist, initiate and philosopher, founder of the United Lodge of Theosophists (ULT).Among his most important works, we remember The Friendly Philosopher. Letters and Talks on Theosophy and the Theosophical Life; Answers to Questions on The Ocean of Theosophy; Notes on The Bhagavad-Gita, with William Quan Judge.The Crosbies article The Language of the Soul, which we propose to our readers today, was published posthumously in the Theosophy Magazine in December 1919.According to Crosbie, All men desire Spiritual knowledge, yet the great bulk will not abate one jot or tittle of their mental and physical absorption in present and worldly things to obtain the spiritual knowledge they say they ardently long for. They will have to move on through suffering and pain till they really desire to know the truth about themselves. If any man thinks he can get that knowledge by merely desiring to possess it, or by desiring to possess it for himself alone, he is not in the position that would permit of his knowing it. The Language of the Soul can be acquired only when the being realizes that his duty is not to himself, but to the highest interests of his fellowmen; not to save his own soul but to lead as many of his neighbors as he possibly can in the direction of the Truth, desiring nothing for himself.
