THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Arjuna says: “ For the mind is verily restless, O Krishna; it is impetuous, strong and difficult to bend, I deem it as hard to curb as the wind.” To which Krishna answers: “ Without doubt, O mighty- armed, the mind is hard to curb and restless, but it may be curbed by constant practice and by indifference.” * The Kundalini whilst it is yet coiled up in the Mdladhara is said to be in the MahakAsa, or in three dimensional space; when it enters the Sushumna it enters the Chittakdsa or mental Space, in which supersens…

Yet I bethink me of that holy man, (Pagan albeit) my stirrup's wisdom-share : " Learn this from Thothmes the Egyptian. " Use only in thine uttermost despair ! " He whispered me a Word. " Beware !

…to and fro. Strange fascinations whirl and wind about my spirit lying coils ; Thy charm enticeth, for the spoils of victory, all an evil mind. Thy perfume doth confound my thought, new longings echo, and I crave Doubtful liaisons with the grave and loves of Parthia for sport. I think perhaps no longer yet, but dream and lust for stranger things Than ever sucked the lips of kings, or fed the tears of Mahomet. Quaint carven vampire bats, unseen in curious hollows of the trees, Or deadlier serpents coiled at ease round carcasses of birds unclean ;…

…pirit of the Sun, and so on, are to be answered by experience. Intellectual satisfaction is worthless. I have to bring you to a state of mind completely superior to the mechanism of the normal mind. A good deal of your letter is rather difficult to answer. You always seem to want to put the cart before the horse. Don't you see that , if I were trying to get you to do something or other , I should simply return to you the kind of answer which I thought would satisfy you , and make you happy? And this would be very easy to do because you have got…

… dose of cocaine, and enable you to overcome the cumulative forces of inertia, or when the effort of concentration is so severe that the mind insists on relieving itself by distracting your thoughts from the object of your calculations, a little heroin would calm their clamour sufficiently long to enable you to get the thing done. Now, it’s utterly wrong to force yourself to work from a sense of duty. The more thoroughly you succeed in analysing your mind, the more surely you become able to recognise the moment when a supreme effort is likely t…

…cess. — It may occur that owing to the tremendous power of the Samadhi, overcoming ail other memories as it should and does do, that the mind of the devotee may be obsessed, so that he déclaré his particular Deity to be sole God and Lord. This error has been the foundation of ail dogmatic religions, and so the cause of more misery than ail other errors combined. The Philosophus is peculiarly liable to this because from the nature of the Method he cannot remain sceptical; he must for the time believe in his particular Deity. But let him (1) cons…

…AIS 19 For his despair ineffable. Her name He called ; she was not, and the piercing flame Of love struck through him, till his tortured mind Drove his young limbs, the wolf that hunts the hind, Far through the forest. Lastly sleep, like death, With strong compulsion of his labouring breath Came on him dreamless. When he woke, the day Stooped toward the splendour of the western bay, And he remembered. Like a wild birds cry The song within him flamed, a melody Dreadful and beautiful. The sad sea heard And echoed over earth its bitter word. SONG…

Then she gave consent, And I smote once. RupHa. Ha! Ha! What came then? Criospa. I tore out her heart, And held its flame aloft. The blackening blood Gushed on my arms—and then— RupHA. Ho! Ho! Criospa. With red lips reeking from the sweet foul feast, I sang in tuneless agony the spell ; Rolled athwart space the black words: then some force

When I am on a piece of work, I grudge the time for eating; and when it's done, I need the absolute relaxation of leisured luxury. Then what of the Work itself? If the Idea be truly new and important, God help it! The whole class of men affected jump on it with one accord, if haply they may crush it in the germ. Read a little of the History of Medicine…

…ong the initiate. Now what I am anxious for everybody to understand is simply this. There’s hardly anybody who under- stands the way his mind works; no two minds are alike, as Horace or some old ass said; and, anyhow, the process of thinking is hardly ever what we imagine. So, instead of recognising the girl as the owner of the eyes which had gripped me so strangely an hour earlier, the fact of the recognition simply put me off the recognition—I don’t know if I’m making myself clear. I mean that the plain fact refused to come to the surface. My…

Rather like one's feeling about the automatic functions of physiology, perhaps: an acceptance so complete that, although the mind contains the idea, it is not stirred thereby into consciousness. These speculations are, perhaps, idle, amI so distracting, for you in your present path. Was it worth while to make this analogy? I think so, vague and unscientific as it must have seemed to you, as reminding you of the way in which unli…

Alone and naked I watched through The appalling hours of noon; I parched; I blistered: all the ghastly crew Of mind’s sick horror mocked me; arched Tike flaming vault of hell and pressed Its passionate murder in my breast. Seven times I strove to slay me: filled My mouth with sand to choke my breath. In vain! No loftier purpose willed The iron miracle of death. So, blind and strangled, I survive. So, with my skin a single scar, I hail the night, the night alive With Hathor for the evening star. O beauty! See me broken,…

Whose mind is strenuous and reflects ; whose deeds are circumspect and pure, His thoughts aye fixed on Law, the fame of that con-centred shall endure. By Earnestness, by centred thought, by self restraint, by suffering long, Let the wise man an island build against the fatal current strong. Fools follow after vanity, those men of evil wisdom’s sect ; But the wise man doth earnestness, a precious talisman, protect.
