The Mystic happier than his fellows. 
“ Theurgists fall not so as to be ranked among the 
herd that are in subjection to Fate.”  Lyd. De men-
sis.  Taylor. 
3.  Once union with God is attained, the whole 
of life (or perhaps religion) becomes pleasant. 
4.  May perhaps refer to the “ horror of great 
darkness ” which comes, say the Mystics, to an As-
pirant on the Threshold of Illumination.  (We must 
beg students to observe that Major Lutiy seems to 
have written these notes in two moods, one in 
which he admits his own personal knowledge of, 
and identification with, mysticism ;  the other in 
which (as here) he writes as a mere scholar.) 
5.  Obscure throughout, and the two last stan-
zas seem quite inconsequential.  They may have 
been transferred from another Ghazal by some 
presumptuous scribe.  A. L.  Yet if so where is the 
Takhallus ?  Ed. 
6.  Identical with a phrase in Dhammapada, the 
Buddhist “ Book of Proverbs.”
