JOHN ST. JOHN
This is of course (nearly enough) another way of
expressing the Hindu Meditation whose method is to
kill all thoughts as they arise in the mind.
The
difference is that I am aiming at a target, while they
are preventing arrows from striking
one.
In my
aspiration to know Adonai, I resemble their Yogis
who concentrate on their “ personal Lord "; but at
the same time it must be remembered that I am not
going to be content with what would content them.
In other words, I am going to de ne " the Knowledge
and Conversation of my holy Guardian Angel " as equal
to Neroda-Samapatti, the trance of Nibbana.
I hope I shall be able to live up to this!
Have been practising Asana, etc.
I forgot one thing in
the last entry: I had been reproaching Adonai that for
six days I had evoked Him in vain.
.
.
. I got the reply,
“ The Seventh Day shall be the Sabbath of the Lord
thy God.”
So mote it be!
T/æ Seven/ll Day.
I began this great day with Eight breath—cycles; was
stopped by the indigestion trouble in its other form.
(P.S.—Evidently the introduction of the Cascara into
my sensitive aura made its action instantaneous.)
My
breathing passages were none too clear, either ; I have
evidently taken a chill.
Now, O my Lord Adonai, thou Self-Glittering One,
wilt Thou not manifest unto Thy chosen one?
