>come from within. Till then no hocus pocus of incantations, or mummery of

>direct the use of such means as have been empirically found by the
>experience of ages to conduce to the required object. And this was and has
>been no secret for thousands of years. Fasting, meditation, chastity of
>thought, word, and deed; silence for certain periods of time to enable
>nature herself to speak to him who comes to her for information; government
>of the animal passions and impulses; utter unselfishness of intention, the
>use of certain incense and fumigations for physiological purposes, have 
>been
>published as the means since the days of Plato and Iamblichus in the West,
>and since the far earlier times of our Indian Rishis. How these must be
>complied with to suit each individual temperament is of course a matter for
>his own experiment and the watchful care of his tutor or Guru. Such is in
>fact part of his course of discipline, and his Guru or initiator can but
>assist him with his experience and will power but can do no more until the
>last and Supreme initiation. I am also of opinion that few candidates
>imagine the degree of inconvenience -- nay suffering and harm to himself --
>the said initiator submits to for the sake of his pupil. The peculiar
>physical, moral, and intellectual conditions of neophytes and Adepts alike
>vary much, as anyone will easily understand; thus, in each case, the
>instructor has to adapt his conditions to those of the pupil, and the 
>strain
>is terrible for to achieve success we have to bring ourselves into a full
