"Believers and sceptics become blind believers and unreasonable 
sceptics when they fall prey to fanaticism. Our task here is to 
study, to examine, to judge; to investigate relentlessly but 
honestly; to believe nothing unless the proof is found, but also not 
to reject anything when that proof is obtained. Not by the way of 
phenomena but by that of philosophy; not swayed by the personality 
but by adhering to principles; not by blind faith but by illumined 
reasoning; not by argumentation but by meditation; not by foolish 
credulity but by intelligent cooperation; not proceeding from the 
teacher to the teachings but examining the consistency, the logic, 
the inherent truth, the reasonableness and the completeness of the 
teachings themselves. Throw the light of all available knowledge on 
the teachings; throw the light of these teachings on all available 
knowledge; by mutual comparison and keen criticism judge the 
teachings of H. P. Blavatsky."
