Pekka Ervast 
The Inner God and Happiness [EPUB ebook] 

Pekka Ervast held seven lectures between September and October 1922, and based on these lectures he compiled a book called God and Happiness, here published as an English translation as The Inner God and Happiness. The content of the book was current when it was first published 50 years after the birth of the Theosophical movement, and it still is so today: People still ask what is the purpose of life and seek happiness.

Ervast shows how the existence of God can be examined through philosophical reflection, and how it is our human responsibility to seek truth. Following open-minded research one may get an experience that God loves one and all humans and other creatures unconditionally. He shows us that after having done away with external dividing characteristics we as a humanity are all brothers together, and we should take care of each other. Life wants us to be happy, but our conceptions of happiness are erroneous.
