But the text seems to mean more than this and to have in view the "vesture of the colour of the sun" attributed by the Upanishads to the spiritual man; that vesture which a disciple has thus described: "The Lord shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body"; perhaps "body of radiance" would better translate the Greek.

it is he who passes safely over the waters of death and rebirth, and is not pierced by the thorns in the path. Therefore it is said that he who would tread the path of power must look for a home in the air, and afterwards in the ether. Of the upward-life, this is written in the Katha Upanishad: “A hundred and one are the heart’s channels; of these one passes to the crown. Going up this, he comes to the immortal.” This is the power of ascension spoken of in the Sutra. 40. By mastery of the binding-life comes radiance. In the Upanishads, it is said that this binding-life unites the upward-life to the downward-life, and these lives have their analogies in the “vital breaths” in the body. The thought in the text seems to be, that, when the personality is brought thoroughly under control of the spiritual man, through the life-currents which bind them together, the personality is endowed with a new force, a strong personal magnetism, one might call it, such as is often an appanage of genius. ITY TO HIM FOR IT IS HE WHO PASSES SAFELY OVER THE WATERS OF DEATH AND REBIRTH AND IS NOT PIERCED BY THE THORNS IN THE PATH THEREFORE IT IS SAID THAT HE WHO WOULD TREAD THE PATH OF POWER MUST LOOK FOR A HOME IN THE AIR AND AFTERWARDS IN THE ETHER OF THIS UPWARD LIFE THIS IS WRITTEN IN THE KATA OF PANSHAAD A HUNDRED AND ONE ARE THE HEART'S CHANNELS OF THESE ONE PASSES TO THE CROWN GOING UP THIS HE COMES TO THE IMMORTAL THIS IS THE POWER OF ASCENSION SPOKEN OF IN THE SUTRA SUTRA FORTY BY MASTERY OF THE BINDING LIFE COMES RADIANCE IN THE APANICHADES IT IS SAID THAT THIS BINDING LIFE UNITES THE UPWARD LIFE TO THE DOWNWARD LIFE AND THESE LIVES HAVE THEIR ANALOGIES IN THE VITAL BREATHS IN THE BODY THE THOUGHT IN THE TEXT SEEMS TO BE THAT WHEN THE PERSONALITY IS BROUGHT THOROUGHLY UNDER CONTROL OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN THROUGH THE LIFE CURRENTS WHICH BIND THEM TOGETHER THE PERSONALITY IS ENDOWED WITH A NEW FORCE A STRONG PERSONAL MAGNETISM ONE MIGHT CALL IT SUCH AS IS OFTEN AN APPENDAGE OF GENIUS
