In the natural course of events the Sannydsa precedes the Yoga, for it consists in casting off from oneself home, posses- sions, family and all that engenders and stimulates desire; whilst the Yoga consists in withdrawing the organs of sense from the objects of sense, and by concentrating them on the Inner Self, Higher Self, Augoeides, Atman, or Adonai, shake itself free from the illusions of Maya—the world of plurality, and secure union with this Inner Self or Atman. 63

…nd asserts its sway, does it come gradually, little by little under the rule of the Atman, until ultimately the Atman, Augoeides, Higher Self or Adonai fills the Space which was once occupied solely by the body and mind of the aspirant. Therefore through the death of the body as it were is the resurrection of the Higher Self accomplished, and the pinnacles of that Temple, whose foundations are laid deep in the black earth, are lost among the starry Palaces of God. In the “ Hatha-~Yoga Pradipika” we read that “there can be no Raja Yoga without H…

To the latter, Lionel had often fallen a victim. He was born bright and happy; the Houses had done well by him. His mother gradually turned him into a self-concentrated, self-conscious, frightened and deceitful youth.

This is explained in Brihadaranyaka, 1. 4. 1. as follows: “In the beginning the Atman alone in the form ofa man * was this universe. He gazed around; he saw nothing there but himself. Thereupon he cried out at the beginning: ‘It is I? Thence originated the name I. Therefore to-day, when anyone is summoned, he answers first ‘It is 1’; and then only he names the other name which he bears.”+ This Consciousness of “I” is the second veil which man meets on his upward journey, and, …

His lack of physical courage was counter- balanced by his intellectual daring; he meant to collar the Angel, and to re-enter the Paradise of that first victim of womanhood, Adam of the bent shoulders, Adam of the foolish resignation to the self-preserving decree of the frightened divinities. His errors of tactics were caused by the fact that he hoped to test the apple without the help of Woman. Often enough, Lionel Tabard unwittingly repe…

Salvation rests on Work and not on Faith, not in reforming the so-called fallen, but in conquering one- self. “If one man conquer in battle a thousand times a thousand men: and another conquer but himself;—he is the greatest of conquerors.”* This is the whole of Buddhism, as it is of any and all systems of self-control. * Dhammapada, v, 103. 140

HALF-HOURS WITH FAMOUS MAHATMAS came. He urged me to speak; so I spoke. He then revealed his divine self in an exceptionally able manner; I refrained from revealing mine. His divine self reminded one rather of a ‘Navvy’s Saturday Night, by Battersea Burns.’” He further urged me to go and see the Mahatma himself on the following Sunday; and this I did. I arrived at 60, South Audley Street at seven o’clock. There were already about twenty sheepish-looking tigers present, and when the Mahatma entered the room, I sat down next to him; for, knowing,…
