Aphorisms as seed-thoughts

Subsequent to our discussion on seed-thoughts, another great example of seed-thouht I think is an aphorism. The complete agni-yoga series of books by Roerichs are aphorisms of Ethical living (and give Ray 1 flavour of fiery will to the yoga of synthesis). Similarly the temple aphorisms of Francia A. La Due give a Ray 5 flavour of occult science to the works of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. We quote those aphorims (as seed-thoughts) from temple teachings of Master H. (with his image):

"Days come and days go, but if thou watchest thou shalt see:

THE LOAD thou hast laid on the heart of a friend will God transfer to thine own heart; heavy as it presses on the heart of thy friend, heavier will it press on thine own heart in the days to come.

THE STONE thou hast cast from the path of the blind will smite the adder lying in wait for thee.

THE WEIGHT thou hast clamped on the feet of another will drag thine own feet into Hadean desolation.

THE SHELTER thou hast given the wayfarer will protect thee from the fiercest of life’s storms.

THE JEWEL thou hast stolen from the strong-box of another will burn and torture the breast wherein it is hid.

THE BREAD thou hast given the hungry holds the substance of many loaves for thee.

THE LIE whereby thou hast gained an end will eat out thine own vitals.

THE TEARS thou drawest from others’ eyes will mark deep furrows down thine own face.

THE SHOE-LATCH thou hast fastened for the halt and lame will bind the hands of thine enemies.

THE FIRE thou dost feed to scorch another will consume thee in its flames.

THE LAW of right can ne’er be thwarted long.

THAT WHICH thou hast sown, that shalt thou gather, whether it be in joy or sorrow, pain or peace.

THOU MAYEST plan the hour of planting — the hour of gathering must needs be struck by the hand of God.

I have said."

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

Album The Yoga of Synthesis Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 15

Today we continue to contemplate on the remaining lines from Page 5 of the Symbol Dawn of Savitri. "Here too the vision and prophetic gleam Lit into miracles common meaningless shapes; Then the divine afflatus, spent, withdrew, Unwanted, fading from the mortal’s range. A sacred yearning lingered in its trace, The worship of a Presence and a Power Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, The prescience of a marvellous birth to come." 'Here' stands for our ordinary human world where the vision and prophetic brief light of Goddess lit the ordinary shapes miraculously into divine meaning for few moments. But then the divine creative impulse or inspiration was spent and feeling unwanted withdrew and faded from the range of mortal men. Once gone it left behind a sacred yearning in the hearts of those later realized what had happened. The presence and Power of Divine Goddess was too perfect to be worshipped to be held steady by death-bound hearts of ordinary mortals. ...
