The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX cunning Kundry, but of his own nature, the sacrifice may be accomplished. So, as previously explained, it is important not to keep on worrying about one’s progress; otherwise all the concentra- tion is lost, and a mood of irritability rises, work is given up, and the student becomes angry with his Teacher. His Mind- Soul becomes as a mad elephant that rages in the jungle. He may even obtain the Vision of the Demon Crowley. But by persistence in the appointed Path, by avoiding dis- appointment through not permitting the fiend Hope to set its suckers on your Soul, by quietly continuing the appointed discourse in spite of Mara and his hosts, the wheel comes full circle, the hour strikes, the talipot palm blossoms, and all is fun and feasting, like Alice when she got to the Eighth Square. It is my daily prayer that I may be spared to write a com- plete commentary on the extremely mystical works of the Rev. C. L. Dodgson. Please note the two lines of dots for the last paragraph of this verse. It is that final scene of Parsifal, which words are unfitted to express. 71. Henceforth thy way is clear right through Virya gate, the fifth one of the Seven Portals. Thou art now on the way that leadeth to the Dhyana haven, the sixth, the Bodhi Portal. 72. The Dhyana gate is like an alabaster vase, white and transparent; within there burns a steady golden fire, the flame of Pragnyé that radiates from Atmé. Thou art that vase. 118
