" The powers of the Adept are indeed many and wonderful, but they all
follow in
natural sequence from faculties which we ourselves possess. It is
only that They
have these faculties in a very much greater degree. I think that the
outstanding
characteristic of the Adept, as compared with ourselves, is that He
looks upon
everything from an absolutely different point of view; for there is
in Him
nothing whatever of the thought of self which is so prominent in the
majority of
men. The Adept has eliminated the lower self, and is living not for
self but for
all, and yet, in a way that only He can really understand, that all
is truly
Himself also. He has reached that stage in which there is no flaw in
His
character, nothing of a thought or feeling for a personal, separated
self, and
His only motive is that of helping forward evolution, of working in
harmony with
the Logos who directs it.
43. Perhaps the
next most prominent characteristic is His all-round development. We
are all of
us imperfect; none has attained the highest level in any line, and
even the
great scientist or the great saint has usually reached high
excellence in one
thing only, and there remain other sides of his nature not yet
unfolded. All of
us possess some germ of all the different characteristics, but always
they are
but partially awakened, and one much more than another. An Adept,
however, is an
all-round Man, a Man whose devotion and love and sympathy and
compassion are
perfect, while at the same time His intellect is something far
grander than we
can as yet realize, and His spirituality is wonderful and divine. He
stands out
above and beyond all men whom we know, because of the fact that He is
fully
developed."
