Gary:
Let me respond in SQUARE BRACKETS [BELOW]
You quote: L O P p. 1
"Before the eyes [impersonal, universal vision acquired trough the practice
of TRUTH and VIRTUE] can see, they must be Incapable of [sentimental,
psychic] tears.
Before the ear [Psychic ear of the Kama-Manasic astral man] can hear, it
must have lost its sensitiveness [to the lower conditions of physical /
psychic living] .
Before the voice [The higher aspect of Kama-Manas has to purify itself of
selfishness and develop an automatic interest and purpose in the universal
action of KARMA and JIVA which surround it in living] can speak in the
presence of the Masters [it must be able to ask something of true value --
just "seeing" the MASTERS [ the core: ATMA-BUDDHI within US, to begin with]
- as a matter of curiosity, carries little strength of purpose or
dedication to the SERVICE of others - our brother MONADS] it must have lost
the power to wound.
Before the soul [Kama-Manas] can stand in the presence of the Masters
[BUDDHI-MANAS and ATMA-BUDHI] its feet [the monads / skandha of the astral
and physical nature of man] must be washed in the blood of the heart [the
vibrating activating path of CHOICES made from moment to moment, by us,
acting as Kama-Manas]." [Light On The Path, p1]
I occurs to me that the distinction between the Spiritual and Psychic planes
from the physical is being illustrated.
