For, all things and no-things are absurd save “I,” who am Soul and Body, Good and Evil, Sorrow and Joy, Change and Equilibrium; who in the temple of Adonai, am beyond all these, and by the fire sid…

…is nothing so pure in this world as wisdom; he that is perfected in Yoga finds it in the Atman in due season.* KARMA YOGA. Union through Work. Very closely allied to Gnana Yoga is Karma Yoga, Yoga through work, which may seem only a means towards the former. But this is not so, for not only must the aspirant commune with the Atman through the knowledge or wisdom he attains, but also through the work which aids him to attain it. A good example of Karma Yoga is quoted from Chuang- Tzu by Flagg in his work on Yoga. It is as follows: Prince Hui’s c…

…TAINMENT BY YOGA. AccorpinG to the Shiva Sanhita there are two doctrines found in the Vedas: the doctrines of “Karma Kanda” (sacrificial works, etc.) and of “ Jnana Kanda” (science and knowledge). “Karma Kanda” is twofold—good and evil, and according to how we live “there are many enjoyments in heaven,” and “in hell there are many sufferings.” Having once realized the truth of “Karma Kanda” the Yogi renounces the works of virtue and vice, and engages in ‘“‘ Jnana Kanda ”—knowledge. In the Shiva Sanhita we read: * In the proper season, various c…

They should not speak much or work much, and they should avoid all places, persons and food which repel them.; The first signs of success will be better health and temperament, and a clearer voice.
