The Fourth Lesson: The Vedanta System.1199
We regard Maya, or Prakriti, as the great Creative Principle emanated
from The Absolute. And Avidya or Ignorance, we hold, is confined to the
phenomenal world, and has no place or existence in The Absolute, but is
itself the product of Maya. We must refer you to our “Gnani Yoga” for the
details of our conception, although the above will give you, briefly, an idea
of the points of our agreement with, and the points of our difference from,
the Vedanta Philosophy. Our own system is Eclectic in its nature, and has
points of agreement with, and points of difference from, each of the other
principal systems of the Hindu Philosophy, and, besides, advances many
independent conceptions and interpretations not found in the said systems,
and which are part of the great body of Eclectic Philosophical Thought in
India which has refused to identify itself with any of the schools or systems.
Special Message IV.
In our message of last month, we gave you the first three of the Axioms of
Truth, those symbols whereby we seek to enter into an understanding of the
nature of Truth. In the message of this month, we continue the presentation
of the axioms—the symbols. We invite you to consider the three following
Axioms of Truth:
iv. We may consider truth by means of the symbol of Creative Activity.
Not only has truth the Creative Energy, but it is also the Creative Energy
Itself. Other than truth there can be no Creative Energy. All that is, ever
has been, or ever can be Created, must have been manifested, expressed or
emanated by the Creative Energy of truth. Truth is the Cause, Source and
Reason for all Creation. There is nothing outside of, or apart from, Truth that
can Create; and, therefore, can be nothing created by anything outside or
apart from truth. All else is Error. Untruth.
v. We may consider truth by means of the symbol of Intelligence. Not
alone is truth Omniscient or All-Wise, but it is also Omniscience or All-
Wisdom Itself. Outside, or apart from truth, there is not, never has been,
and never can be, any Wisdom. All the evidences of Wisdom that we see
