 to handle; and when the Self, thus come to self-consciousness, and, with it, to a knowledge of his imprisonment, shall set his desire on the divine and real world, and raise his consciousness thereto, the spiritual vesture shall be built up for him there, with its expression of his inherent powers. Nor will migration thither be difficult for the Self, since the divine is no strange or foreign land for him, but the house of his home, where he dwells from everlasting. 3. The apparent, immediate cause is not the true cause of the creative nature-powers; but, like the husbandman in his field, it takes obstacles away. The husbandman tills his field, breaking up the clods of earth into fine mould, penetrable to air and rain; he sows his seed, carefully covering it, for fear of birds and the wind; he waters the seed-laden earth, turning the little rills from the irrigation tank now this way and that, removing obstacles from the channels, until the even How of water vitalizes the whole field.  TO SPEAK TO WALK TO HANDLE AND WHEN THE SELF THUS COME TO SELF CONSCIOUSNESS AND WITH IT TO A KNOWLEDGE OF HIS IMPRISONMENT SHALL SET HIS DESIRE ON THE DIVINE AND REAL WORLD AND RAISE HIS CONSCIOUSNESS THERE TOO THE SPIRITUAL VESTURE SHALL BE BUILT UP FOR HIM THERE WITH ITS EXPRESSION OF HIS INHERENT POWERS NOR WILL MIGRATION THITHER BE DIFFICULT FOR THE SELF SINCE THE DIVINE IS NO STRANGE OR FOREIGN LAND FOR HIM BUT THE HOUSE OF HIS HOME WHERE HE DWELLS FROM EVERLASTING SUETRY THREE THE APPARENT IMMEDIATE CAUSE IS NOT THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE CREATIVE NATURE POWERS BUT LIKE THE HUSBANDMAN IN HIS FIELD IT TAKES OBSTACLES AWAY THE HUSBANDMAN TILLS HIS FIELD BREAKING UP THE CLODS OF EARTH INTO FINE MOULD PENETRABLE TO AIR AND RAIN HE SOWS HIS SEED CAREFULLY COVERING IT FOR FEAR OF BIRDS AND THE WIND HE WATERS THE SEED LADEN EARTH TURNING THE LITTLE RILLS FROM THE IRRIGATION TANK NOW THIS WAY AND THAT REMOVING OBSTACLES FROM THE CHANNELS UNTIL THE EVEN HOW OF WATER VITALIZES THE WHOLE FIELD
