Theosophy

Theosophy in Greek literally means "God's wisdom".

Theosophy is esotericism, referring to hidden knowledge or wisdom that offers the individual enlightenment and salvation. The theosophist seeks to understand the mysteries and  unite the universe, humanity, and the divine.

The mystery schools, Baha'i, United Nations, and Theosophy are just some of the groups that promote The Great Work.

Theosophy and Baha'i 

Question.--(It was remarked, Theosophy teaches that truth in all the religions is the same): Does the task of unifying all religions have 'Abdu'l-Bahá's sympathy?
"Answer.--Surely."
(Attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, 'Abdu'l-Bahá in London, p. 62)

"O Bahá'u'lláh! May I be a sacrifice for Thee. O Bahá'u'lláh! May my life be offered up for Thee. Thou hast spoken the Word which cannot be refuted. What a wonderful Cause Thou hast founded! It satisfies every assemblage! Each group testifies to its greatness. In the churches it shakes the souls; it excites the Theosophists; it imparts spirituality to the spiritualists; it makes the Unitarians aware of the reality of unity; it makes the socialists contented and grateful and inspires joy and happiness in the peace meetings. There is no refuge for any denomination except in submission to it. It is a miracle! It is the greatest force in the world of existence. This is all through the assistance of the Blessed Beauty. If healing the lame and crippled is a miracle, it can also be produced by a dose of medicine. This is no great achievement." (Mahmúd's Diary, September 4, 1912)
