A Series of Lessons on the Inner Teachings of the Philosophies and Religions of India1290
Fatalism, and Belief in the “Show World” in which all is but scenery moved
by—and puppets on strings pulled by—”The Master of The Show.” Instead
you should be able to see the Universe as an ever-evolving manifestation of
the One Life, under the control of the One Will, and under the direction of
the One Mind—and animated by the One Spirit; moving on to greater and
greater heights and expression, in accordance with the Divine Plan. What
that Purpose of that Plan is neither Omar nor ourselves know—and both
must content ourselves with the answer: “He Knows—He knows!”
Special Message VIII.
For this month, we invite you to listen to the following strains borne
from afar, coming from the harps of Spiritual Truth sounded by the trained
fingers of the Hindu Sages:
“The Truth embraces all real consciousness, and in embracing all it unites the doer
and the deed and the witness of the deed; the actor and the act and the witness of
the act; the thinker and the thought and the thing thought of; the living and the life
and the witnesses and incidents of the life. As the lamp of the theatre embraces in
its rays the audience, the actors, the theatre, and the stage, each and all alike, in one
sweep of its light; and as it continues to shed its light when all have departed from
the stage and the seats; so is Truth as related to the universe.”
“The Seer of thy sight thou shalt not see; the Hearer of thy hearing thou shalt not
hear; the Thinker of thy thoughts thou shalt not think; the Knower of thy knowledge
thou shalt not know; nay, not until thou hast transcended these mortal things, and
risen to a knowledge that Thou art That.”
“Thou art thy Real Self, in Truth, All-pervading, All—everything else is mortal,
illusion, naught, untruth.”
“Truth is the unseen Seer; the unheard Hearer; the unthought Thinker; the unknown
Knower. Besides Truth there is no other Seer; no other Hearer; no other Thinker; no
other Knower. Truth is That, thy Real Self, ever immortal, ever in being, omnipresent,
omnipotent, omniscient—all besides is mortal and unreal.”
