‘Emotion, Intellect and Spirituality’
By: Annie Besant
Pilgrims Publishing (2008)
ISBN: 8177695959
We Indians know Annie Besant as one of the major freedom fighters during our freedom struggle against the British. She was also a Theosophist, women's rights activist, secularist, writer and orator. As part of her Theosophy related work she had travelled to India and took part in its freedom movement becoming President of the Indian National Congress in 1917.
This book is a publication of one of her lectures at the Theosophical Society. It gives sight of her thoughts which represent also those of Theosophy. Her thoughts are very learned and she has a deep understanding of human psychology and life. I especially remember the portion of this book where she tells about the importance of a balanced development (intellect Vs emotional) and also her pointers towards our one incarnation to the other.
This is a small-size book. I think the topic is not light and her writing can best enjoyed by being reflected upon in a second read.
