			The phrase "Universal Brotherhood" appeared as the first Object of the [[Theosophical Society]] in 1881, as follows:

	<blockquote>First — To form the nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, the obvious philanthropic value of which must be beyond dispute, while the esoteric significance of a union formed on that plan, is conceived by the Founders, for reasons derived from a study of Oriental Philosophy, to be of great importance.<ref>Ransom, J.

			In August, 1890, Blavatsky stated:

			<blockquote>Everyone entering the society is supposed to sympathize with the theory of essential brotherhood; a kinship which exists on the plane of the higher self, not on that of the racial, social, and mental dissimilarities and antipathies. These elements of discord pertain to the physical man and are the result of unequal development under the law of evolution.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''Collected Writings'' vol. XII (Wheaton, IL: Theosophical Publishing House, 1988), 302.</ref></blockquote>

	The [[Mahatmas]] in their [[The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (book)\|letters]] to [[A. P. Sinnett]] stated in several occasions that the [[Theosophical Society]] was meant to promote the Universal Brotherhood. For example, [[Koot Hoomi\|Mahatma K. H.]] said "it has been constantly our wish to spread on the Western Continent among the foremost educated classes 'Branches' of the T.S. as the harbingers of a Universal Brotherhood".<ref>Vicente Hao Chin, Jr., ''The Mahatma Letters to A.P.

	Especially at the beginning of his correspondence, [[A. P.

	It is important to notice the word "universal" along with "brotherhood". ~~[[Koot Hoomi\|Mahatma~~ K. H.]] defined it as "an association of 'affinities' of strong magnetic yet dissimilar forces and polarities centred around one dominant idea".<ref>Vicente Hao Chin, Jr., ''The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett in chronological sequence'' No. 10 (Quezon City: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 27.</ref> The aim of the [[Theosophical Society]] is not merely to bring together people of a certain race, creed, caste, etc., but to gather different kinds of people around a central aim, without distinctions.		It is important to notice the word "universal" along with "brotherhood". Master K.H. defined it as "an association of 'affinities' of strong magnetic yet dissimilar forces and polarities centred around one dominant idea".<ref>Vicente Hao Chin, Jr., ''The Mahatma Letters to A.P.

			This attitude is also important as a spiritual practice. In [[Mahatma Letter No. 131#Page 1 transcription, image, and notes\|another letter]], the Master writes to Mr. Sinnett:

			<blockquote>Beware then, of an uncharitable spirit, for it will rise up like a hungry wolf in your path, and devour the better qualities of your nature that have been springing into life. Broaden instead of narrowing your sympathies; try to identify yourself with your fellows, rather than to contract your circle of affinity.<ref>Vicente Hao Chin, Jr., ''The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett in chronological sequence'' No. 131 (Quezon City: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 435.</ref></blockquote>
