tears"

Gary:

Let me respond in SQUARE BRACKETS [BELOW]

 You quote:  LIGHT ON THE PATH  p. 1

"Before the eyes [impersonal, universal vision acquired trough the
deliberate, constant and consistent practice of TRUTH and VIRTUE in
everything we think, feel, say or do] 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 either them or us.  We may not take advantage of
anyone or any circumstance. "

"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, p. 1]

It occurs to me that the distinction between the Spiritual and Psychic
planes from the physical is being illustrated here.
