Remember the monster that Sir Frederick Treves picked up from an East End peep-show, and had petted by princesses? (What a cunning trick!) Revolting, all the same, to read his account of it. He-the monster, not Treves!-seems to have been a most charming individual-ah! That's the word we want. Every individual has some qualities that endear him to some other.

(At her request I gave M. a minimum dose of X.) Asana and Meditation with mantra since 8.40. The blackness seems breaking. For a moment I got a vague glimpse of one’s spine (or rather one’s Sushumna) as a galaxy of stars, thus suggesting the stars as the ganglia of the Universe. Το continue. Not very satisfactory.

I’ll see you through it somehow ! But don’t talk foolishness about marriage ! We are happy because when I come to see you I come to see you. If we were living together you would soon get to know me as the brute who grumbles at the cooking and wants to shut himself up and work—[mimicking her voice] “ And I wouldn’t mind so much if it were work, but all he does is to si…

One day, in a great popular assembly, he went down into the road with a piece of bread in his hand which he broke and distributed, saying: ‘‘ Bread of God, do thou make bread for all!” I know another of them who cried: “I will no longer adore the god of the devil!
