The error of the personal will is inevitable, since each will must be free to choose, to try and fail, and so to find the path. THE ERROR OF THE PERSONAL WILL IS INEVITABLE SINCE EACH WILL MUST BE FREE TO CHOOSE TO TRY AND FAIL AND SO TO FIND THE PATH
reading meant, for ancient India, something more than it does with us. It meant, first, the recital of sacred texts, which, in their very sounds, had mystical potencies; and it meant a recital of texts which were divinely emanated, and held in themselves the living, potent essence of the divine. For us, spiritual reading means a communing with the recorded teachings of the Masters of wisdom, whereby we read ourselves into the Master’s mind, just as through his music one can enter into the mind and soul of the master musician. It has been well said that all true art is contagion of feeling; so that through the true reading of true books we do indeed read ourselves into the spirit of the Masters, share in the atmosphere of their wisdom and power, and come at last into their very presence. 45. Soul-vision is perfected through perfect obedience to the Master. The sorrow and darkness of life come of the erring personal will which sets itself against the will of the Soul, the one great Life.
