The Theosophical Order of Service was formed to give members of the Theosophical Society a platform in which to do service to humanity, as the three ideals of Theosophy are Study, Meditation and Service.

​

The TOS is an organisation separate from TS, but has a direct bearing on the work of the Society and many members actively participate in the humanitarian work of the TOS. The objects of the TOS may be given as follows:

1. ​To minimise the sum of misery in the world;

2. To forget self in working for others;

3. To eliminate selfishness, greed, and the law of the market and substitute selflessness, love and charity and the law of mutual aid as the rule of the world;

4. To live to the highest that is within each of us.
