…is only true in so far as it is self-contradictory. The Arhat has no self to be blissful. It is much simpler to consider it on the lines given in my commentary to the last verse. 41. To live to benefit mankind is the first step. To prac- tise the six glorious virtues is the second. 42. To don Nirmanakéya’s humble robe is to forego eter- nal bliss for Self, to help on man’s salvation. To reach Nir- vana’s bliss but to renounce it, is the supreme, the final step —the highest on Renunciation’s Path. All this about Gautama Buddha having renounced N…

In this verse is given a hint of the underlying philosophi- cal theory of the Cosmos. See Liber CXI for a full and proper account of this. 81. Where is thy individuality, Lanoo, where the Lanoo himself? It is the spark lost in the fire, the drop within the ocean, the ever-present ray become the ALL and the eternal radiance.

However, he is forced by her (after a stormy scene) to make a very inadequate acknowledg- ment, and we are given to understand that he only does this because the show can be so easily given away, the ‘worm’ not knowing ten words of the language from which he is supposed to be translating. Isn’t this complex enough for anybody? Ah, no! Dr. Coomaraswamy is merely flapping his wings idly. He can stage much stronger dramas. So you see the ‘worm’ and his wife in New York—of all places!
