it through love. So she conquered Julius Caesar throughlove and built friendship, so that there was no danger forEgypt. Love antidotes power. That is the way to conquerpower. Power can only be conquered through love.That is exactly what Jesus demonstrated. That isexactly what Buddha demonstrated. So we need to thinkhow to get into the functioning of the heart. That is moreimportant than gathering lots of mental fund. Readingthis book, reading that book, collecting concepts andkeeping them in the head, is like the loads of the donkey.Many human heads carry donkey loads. A donkey cancarry a hundred books of our Bibliotheca (Library) fromAlice A. Bailey and Madam H. P. Blavatsky, but it doesnot get any wisdom. People only know names of SecretDoctrine, Cosmic Fire, White Magic, Bhagavad Gita,Patanjali Yoga, Old Testament, etc. The key to open thewisdom contained in the books is in the heart, not inthe mind. That is why a pure heart is a step of greatimportance. See how the third step is. It takes us veryfar; very far means very deep into our being. A cleanlife and an open mind are on the exterior part of thebeing. Without that we cannot think of a pure heart.Pure heart is inside. It is the inner side of the being. Weget into the electro-magnetic field of the heart.The third step is the key to the Golden Stairs and theaspirant has to work with it. It leads one into the realmsof the heart. With a clean life and an open mind itshould not be difficult to enter into the temple. Thetemple is the temple of wisdom. The practice needed toenter into the temple is to apply the mind on respiration.When the mind is regularly applied on inhalation andexhalation, the mind for the first time finds that there isan activity happening within him. Generally the mindbelieves in doing and now it finds that something ishappening, even in him, without his conscious doing.Here is the key. Here is an unfoldment to the mind,a revelation. There is an activity verily happening inhim, of which the mind is unaware. Although the manbelieves in doing, now there is an activity happening inhim without his doing.The very word ‘mind’ comes from the word ‘man’.We descend from Manu, Manu Vaivasvata. We aregenerally mind-orientated beings. Mind is but a bureau,but we are not just a bureau. A bureau is a place of work.Mind is the chamber into which we move, think andconduct work. When mind is a bureau, somewhere inus there has to be the home, the sweet home. When oneis lost in the bureau day and night, at least one realisesthat there is a home, where one can rest in joy and inbliss. The respiratory path is the path that leads from thebureau of our mind to the house to rest. It is by the samepath, we once again return to the bureau.Men become workaholic, they forget the home, theyeven stay overnight in the bureau. They work, work70 71
