Quote for Sun., June 10


Physical vs. Mental "sin"


   As said in a private letter of H.P.B., 
"To yield to personal physical weaknesses 
and passions is a lesser crime in Occultism 
than to yield to mental and intellectual 
weaknesses. To prostitute one's body is 
to desecrate only an old rag, an evanescent 
principle. To prostitute one's thought, 
even the lower Manas, connected with and 
emanating from the Higher Manas or Ego, 
is to pollute that which is immortal."  
(as quoted in The Path, March, 1890)
