The Mystic Life
“The Path is the Path of Renunciation. . . . The Renunciation must be the renunciation of the domination of the lower self and the disciplining and training of its desires and appetites.”
“There is a Path which leads into the deep mysteries of God. There is a Path which leads into the world of Life Eternal. And its door is not of necessity the one called the death of the physical body. Yet it is in one sense death, but a death only of those things which we no longer need. It is on this Path that our life attains its ultimate end. It is here that we see the doors of the mighty Temple of Divine Life swing open. It is here that we hear the Voice of the Silence say to us: ‘Put off thy shoes (the outer material coverings or material conceptions) from off thy feet (our understanding), for the ground on which thou standest, is holy ground.”
