But in the concealed collocation of letters on that page is found the figure 3.141593, which is the correct value of tt to six places of decimals.

One of the advantages of spiritual development is the confirmation of one's results which one obtains from similarly disposed people whom one meets.

Very fortunate, on the other hand, was He to hâve found a Guru who instructed Him in the proper principles of the technique of Yoga, and He, having suffirent sense to recognize the universal application of those principles, was able to some extent to repair His original defects. But even to this day, despite the fact this His original inclination is much stronger towards Magick than towards mysticism, he is much less competent in Magick.1 A trace of this can …
