Well, I’ve woke myself writing this. The point that really struck me was this: what would happen if by severe training I forced my “astral body "—damn it! isn’t there a term for it free from L. . . . -pro- stitution?

In this verse the Student is exhorted to indifference to everything but his own progress. It does not mean the in- difference of the Man to the things around him, as it has often been so unworthily and wickedly interpreted. The in- difference spoken of is a kind of inner indifference.

As a mountaineer (I have seen very many of the greatest mountains of the earth) I must admit that “ : . . phantom fair Was Monte Rosa, hanging there, A thousand shadowy-pencilled valleys And dewy dells in a golden air” is a very decent word-picture of the great mountain.
