satisfied with that position—although to us the term may evoke a smile when
we realize that the teaching is built upon the experience and testimony of
the wise of the ages. But, if the teaching is carefully read and considered, it
will prove to be regarded as more and more reasonable as the years pass by
with the individual. Fact after fact will be seen to fit into the general teaching,
and, as older conceptions are discarded from time to time, these teachings
will be found to take their place. It is not easy to escape from a truth, once
it has been presented to you. It has a way of itching your mental ear, once it
has lodged there. For behind that ear is a part of you, hidden though it may
be, by many sheaths, which knows—which Knows! Deny it though you may,
you cannot escape from Truth once its seed has been lodged within your
consciousness, for it will draw sustenance from your subconsciousness, and
will in time sprout and put forth leaf and blossom.
So, after all, it matters little whether or not the student can fully grasp
the teaching at this time. For Time is long, and one has all the time there is
in which to master the lesson. All teachings, at the last, is but a process of
seed-sowing.
