Rakkauden seppeleen kukat tulevat ikuisuudesta ja palaavat sinne. Rakkaus on korkein voima, jota ihmisen korkein osa voi koskettaa. Kukat puhkeavat tien varrelle, ja linnut laulavat pään yläpuolella lennellen puusta toiseen. Purot solisevat kallioiden lomissa ja järviä ilmestyy kuiviin paikkoihin. Tämä kaikki tekee maallisen vaelluksen siedettäväksi, ja toisinaan jopa niin miellyttäväksi, että nautinnon ilo poistaa kokonaan lakkaamattoman liikkumisen vaivan. Rakkaus on puhdistettava ja sen kuoren on hajottava. Sitten rakkaus ilmenee loistavassa todellisuudessaan, suurena voimana, ylevänä tosiasiana ja elämän kuolemattomana kukkana.Mabel Collins kertoo kirjassaan ihmisen vaelluksesta elämästä toiseen kohti täydellisyyttä.

The Idyll of the White Lotus and The Story of Sensa

The Idyll of the White Lotus and The Story of Sensa

Mabel Collins; Tallapragada Subba Rao

The Idyll of the White Lotus is a story told in all ages, and among every people. It is the tragedy of the soul. Attracted by desire, it stoops to sin; brought to itself by suffering, it turns for help to the redeeming spirit within and in the final sacrifice achieves its apotheosis and sheds a blessing on mankind. It is a story of initiation written in tender and beautiful language, and bears on its face the stamp of verdicity in simplicity and dignity. Behold I stood alone, one among many, an isolated individual in the midst of a united crowd. And I was alone, because, among all the men my brethren who knew, I alone was the man who both knew and taught. I taught the believers at the gate, and was driven to do this by the power that dwelleth in the sanctuary. I had no escape, for in that deep darkness of the most sacred shrine, I beheld the light of the inner life, and was driven to reveal it, and by it was I upheld and made strong. For indeed, although I died, it took ten priests of the temple to accomplish my death, and even then they but ignorantly thought themselves powerful. Mabel Collins was a writer of popular occult novels, a fashion writer and an anti-vivisection campaigner. She was a theosophist and author of over 46 books. This edition includes the essay "On The Idyll of the White Lotus" by Tallapragada Subba Rao, and the explanatory monograph The Story of Sensa by Mabel Collins.

The Idyll of the White Lotus: With Commentary by T. Subba Row

The Idyll of the White Lotus: With Commentary by T. Subba Row

The Idyll of the White Lotus is a mystical and symbolic novel by theosophist Mabel Collins (M.C.). The story may be symbolic on many levels, the most common interpretation being an analogy of the human soul and its development. T. Subba Row, whose commentary is includede in an appendix, also suggests that it is likely based on a true story. According to him, the story "truly depicts the Egyptian faith and the Egyptian priesthood, when their religion had already begun to lose its purity and had] degenerated . . . being] unscrupulously used for selfish and immoral purposes." Sensa (the hero of the story) is represented to be the last great hierophant of Egypt. Thus, for those interested in a theosophical view of ancient Egypt, this novel will also hold additional interest. The story is, however, primarily meant as a teaching tool for the would-be mystic. - From the Preface: "The ensuing pages contain a story which has been told in all ages and among every people. It is the tragedy of the Soul. Attracted by Desire, the ruling element in the lower nature of Man, it stoops to sin; brought to itself by suffering, it turns for help to the redeeming Spirit within; and in the final sacrifice achieves its apotheosis and sheds a blessing on mankind."
