…ome: the noise of the storm heard by the wicked priest in his early evocations, and the difficulty which he found in expressing his real thought in the presence of Eliphas Levi. One may also comment upon the apparition of the sinister man taking pleasure in the public grief, and uttering an indeed infernal word in the midst of the consternation of the crowd, an apparition only noticed by the ecstatic of La Salette, the too celebrated Mlle. de La Merliére, who has the air after all of a worthy individual, but very excitable, and perhaps capable …

…y. This love is not a sloppy feeling of maudlin sentimental kindness. The majority of people of the Christian Science, Theosophical, New Thought type, think that a lot of flabby thoughts, sending out streams of love in the Six Quarters, and so on, will help them. It won’t. Love is a pure flame, as swift and deadly as the lightning. This is the kind of love that the Student needs. (Subsection II.) The “key” here spoken of has been thor- oughly explained in Thien Tao in Konx Om Pax, but there is a peculiar method, apart from this plane, and easil…

Thus yet more Atrabilious and Sluggard was this Liver of thy Father, so that I fell into a Gloom night unto Weeping. Then she beholding me with Amazement cried upon me hus: Art thou not glad in Heart, o my Master? At this I gave a Sigh even as one night unto Death. And She: if this be so, then is no need anymore for me to give myself to Magick. Thereat, perceiving yet again the Just Universal of Our L…

256 SCIENCE AND BUDDHISM pendent thought, of keen ecstasy of love of knowledge, of practical training, that the Buddhasanana Samagama? appeals; it is time that Buddhism reformed itself from within; though its truths be held untarnished (and even this is not everywhere the case), its methods, its organisation, are sadly in need of repair; research must be done, men must be perfected, error must be fought. And if,in the West a great Buddhist society is built up of men of intellect, of the men in whose hands the future lies, there is then an awake…

…y one who explains his system thoroughly is Buddha, and Buddha is the only one that is not dogmatic. We may also suppose that the others thought it inadvisable to explain too clearly to their followers ; St. Paul evidently took this line. Our best document will therefore be the system of Buddha ; 1 but it is so complex that no immediate summary will serve ; and in the case of the others, if we have not the accounts of the Masters, we have those of their immediate followers. 1 We have the documents of Hinduism, and of two Chinese systems.

But of course if we were to take the words “The threshold of the Path” “The foremost gate” “The stream” as equivalent to Srotapatti, the passage would gain in intel…
