THE EQUINOX Better than the sacrifice of any objects is the sacrifice of wisdom, O Paran- tapa. All actions in their entirety, O Partha, culminate in wisdom. As the burning fire reduces fuel to ashes, O Arjuna, so doth the fire of wisdom reduce all actions to ashes. Verily there 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…

THE EQUINOX silently, and at first I thought I must be mistaken, I had (it seemed) heard it so many times before. No other answer came, so I went out into the streets and along my way. Gradually the fuller meaning has dawned on me, and I have returned to make this entry. I need not add much more. I do not put the answer down. It was given in silence and must remain in Silence. Still there seemed to be just one little ripple of joy in the Great Silent Sea as another soul gently sank to its rest, and the silent voices whispered “Welcome brother.”…

We hâve little to alter or to add. Its most important resuit as regards the Oath of the Abyss, is the freedom from ail desire or clinging to anything which it gives, Its second resuit is to aid the adept in the second method, by supplying him with further data for his investigation.3 8.

THE EQUINOX is non-existent. Each man is, as it were, a thought in an universal brain, each thought jarring against the next and prolonging the dream. As each individual thought dies it enters Nibbana and ceases to be, and eventually when all thoughts die the dream passes and Nibbana wakes.* This bad dream seems to be caused by a separateness of Subject and Object which means Sorrow; when sleep vanishes this separateness vanishes with it, things assume their correct proportion and may be equated to a state of bliss or Non- Sorrow. Thus we find …

In some one phrase or other of the Book there is a direct message for every human being. The best way for the layman to approach this Book is to regard it as a letter written directly to himself.

In the case of Bacchus, one commémorâtes firstly his birth of a mortal mother who has yielded her treasure-house to the Father of AU, of the jealousy and rage excited by this incarnation, and of the heavenly protection afforded to the infant. Next should be commemorated the journeying westward upon an ass. Now cornes the great scene of the drama: the gentle, exquisite youth with his…

Here the climax is the music of the goddess, the assistants remaining in silent ecstasy. In the rite of Jupiter the impromptu is the dance, in that of Saturn long periods of silence. It will be noticed that in these Rites poetry and music were large!y employed mostly published pièces by well-known authois and composers. It would be better 1 to Write and compose s…

Let us deal with Francis Thompson. Had he no friend to burn this manuscript? To save him from blackening his own memory in this way? We were content to give him his appointed niche in the temple, that of a delicate, forceful spirit, if rarely capable of cosmic expan- sion.

THE EQUINOX epic of martyrdom; it was an acceptance and an offering; a prayer for his people, and a pardon for his murderer. The day was falling, and the church was beginning to grow dark. The Archbishop, his arms raised to heaven, lighted by a last ray which penetrated the casements of the nave, stood out upon a dark background, where one could scarcely distinguish a pedestal without a statue, on which were written these two words of the Passion of Christ: Ecce Homo! and farther in the background, an apocalyptic painting representing the four …
