…antly evident in the comment to verse 97 that Blavatsky had not the re- motest idea as to what a Bodhisattva was and is. But it is quite true that you have to shed light in the manner indi- cated if you are going to live the life of a Magus. 82. Know that the stream of superhuman knowledge and the Deva-Wisdom thou hast won, must, from thyself, the channel of Alaya, be poured forth into another bed. Still further develops the same doctrine. You have ac- quired the supreme creative force. You are the Word, and it must be spoken (verse 83). There …

…e first there may be shock and conflict, for the old thought persists by force of its habit: it is for you to create by repeated act the true right habit of this consciousness of the Life which abideth in Light. And this is easy, if your will be strong: for the true Life is so much more vivid and quintessential than the false that (as I rudely estimate) one hour of the former makes an impression on the memory equal to one year of the latter. One single experience, in duration it may be but a few seconds of terrestrial time, is sufficient to des…

The PRIEST offers the Lance to the PriEsTEss, who kisses it; he then touches her between the breasts and upon the body. He then flings out his arms upward, as comprehending the whole shrine.

…Nirvana-Dharma is entered not by all the Buddhas.” Here, however, we come to the question of the final renun- ciation. It is undoubtedly true that one may push spiritual experience to the point of complete attainment without ever undertaking the work of a Dhamma-Buddha, though it seems hard to believe that at no period during that progress will it have become clear that the Complete Path is down- wards as well as upwards. 97. Yea; on the Arya Path thou art no more Srotapatti, thou art a Bodhisattva. The stream is cross’d. ’Tis true thou hast a …

…e described in Verse 40. 8. Then only, not till then, shall he forsake the region of ASAT, the false, to come unto the realm of SAT, the true. By “SAT, the true,” is meant a thing previous to the ‘REAL’ referred to above. SAT itself is an illusion. Some schools of philosophy have a higher ASAT, Not-Being, which is beyond SAT, and consequently is to Shivadarshana as SAT isto Atmadarshana. Nirvana is beyond both these. 9. Before the Soul can see, the Harmony within must be attained, and fleshly eyes be rendered blind to all illusion. By the “Harm…

…awakes Him. He, in His turn, vitalizes the original Daughter, thus com- pleting the cycle. Now on the human plane this All-Father is the true generative force, the real Ego, of which all types of conscious Ego in a man are but Ejidola, and this true creative force is the Virya of which we are now speaking. 50. Thy Soul-gaze centre on the One Pure Light, the Light that is free from affection, and use thy golden key. This Virya is the one pure light spoken of in this verse. It is called “free from affection.” It creates without desire, simply bec…

…for this statement. (A Srotapatti becomes an Arahat in seven more incarnations. “Siddhis’”—magic powers.) 57. Tell him, O Aspirant, that true devotion may bring him back the knowledge, that knowledge which was his in former births. The deva-sight and deva-hearing are not obtained in one short birth. The promise in this verse is less difficult to believe. By true devotion is meant a devotion which does not depend upon its object. The highest kind of love asks for no return. It is however misleading to say that “deva-sight and deva- hearing are n…

…Blavatsky had taken the sword to a Gordian knot. By saying that Compassion is no attribute she is merely asserting what is evidently not true, and she therefore de- fines it in a peculiar way, and I am afraid that she does so in a somewhat misleading manner. It would be improper here to disclose what is presumably the true meaning of this verse. One can only commend it to the earnest considera- 129

…utomatic, being the work of that inmost Will which is alive within you. Seek not then to determine consciously this decision, for herein true instinct is not liable to err. But now I end, without further words: for in our Holy Books are written many details of the actual practices of Love. And those are the best and truest which are most subtly written in symbol and image, especially in Tragedy and Comedy, for the whole nature of these things is in this kind, Life itself being but the fruit of the flower of Love. It is then of Life that I must …

Aye, build it strong, lest the fierce rush of battling waves, that mount and beat its shore from out the great World Maya’s Ocean, swallow up the pilgrim and the isle—yea, even when the victory’s achieved.

…) most profitable to concentrate the Will to Love upon the sacred centres of nervous force: for they, like all things, are apt images or true reflexions of their semblables in finer spheres: so that, their gross natures being dissi- pated by the dissolving acid of the Meditation, their finer souls appear (so to speak) naked, and display their force and glory in the consciousness of the aspirant. Yea, verily, let your Will to Love burn eagerly toward this creation in yourselves of the true Life that rolls its waves across the shoreless sea of Ti…

Therefore I write to you with energy that you should not do thus to the hindrance of your true prog- ress, because all these enjoyments are dependent upon dual- ity, so that their true name is Sorrow of Illusion, like that of the normal life of man, which you have set out to transcend. Be it according to your Will, but learn this, that (as it is written) they only are happy who have desired the unattain- able.

…ligion of the Old Zon, but we have left it be- hind us because although it seemed to be based on Nature (and Nature’s symbols are always true), yet we have out- grown this idea which is only apparently true in Nature. Since this great Ritual of Sacrifice and Death was conceived and perpetuated, we, through the observation of our men of science, have come to know that it is not the Sun which rises and sets, but the earth on which we live which revolves so that its shadow cuts us off from the sunlight during what we call night. The Sun does not d…
