Master’s view of the ‘adept’
13.
Contd. from the last
letter
An adept ( Djual Khool) bumping into an obstacle, causing a
bloody nose : From a letter by K.H.
“At moments of rest then, his faculties are at rest also.
When I sit at my meals, or when I am dressing , reading or otherwise occupied I
am not thinking even of those near me; and Djual Khool may easily break his
nose to blood, by running in the dark against a beam, as he did the other
night---(just because instead of throwing a “film” he had foolishly paralysed
all his outer senses while talking to and with a distant friend)—and I remained
placidly ignorant of the fact. I was not
thinking of him and hence my ignorance.
From the aforesaid you may easily infer that an adept is an
ordinary mortal at all moments of his daily life but those—when the inner man
is acting.”
From letter no. 8 from The Occult World Series received
Allahabad via Mad. B. : Feb 1881.
On Humanity’
“We might justly maintain that it is ‘the business of ‘magick’
to humanize our natures with compassion for the whole mankind as all ;living
beings, instead of concentrating and limiting our affections to one
predilected race….
“Until final emancipation reabsorbs the Ego, it must be
conscious of the purest sympathies called out by the esthetic effects of high
art, its tenderest cords respond to the call of the nobler and the holier human
attachments. ….All (personal feelings… will give away to become to be blended
into one universal feeling….”Love, an immense love for humanity---as a “Whole”!
For it is “Humanity” which is the great Orphan, the only disinherited one upon
this earth, my friend. …its suffering and agony never ceases….. And who can
blame it—as your materialist philosophers do—if, in this everlasting isolation
and neglect it has evolved gods unto whom “it ever cries for help but is not
heard!”
Thus—
“Since there is hope for man only in man
I would not let one cry whom I could save!...”
