H. P. Blavatsky - The Voice of the Silence (Buddhism audiobook).
'Tis from the bud of Renunciation of the Self, that springeth the sweet fruit of final Liberation.
The WISE ONES tarry not in pleasure-grounds
of senses.
The WISE ONES heed not the sweet-tongued
voices of illusion
Let not the fierce Sun dry one tear of pain
before thyself hast wiped it from the sufferer’s eye.
But let each burning human tear drop on thy heart
and there remain, nor ever brush it off, until the pain
that caused it is removed.
These tears, O thou of heart most merciful, these
are the streams that irrigate the fields of charity
immortal.
’Tis on such soil that grows the midnight
blossom of Buddha ( 33 ) more difficult to find,
more rare to view than is the flower of the Vogay
tree.
It is the seed of freedom from rebirth.
It
isolates the Arhat both from strife and lust, it leads
him through the fields of Being unto the peace and
bliss known only in the land of Silence and NonBeing
Search for the Paths. But, O Lanoo, be of clean
heart before thou startest on thy journey. Before thou
takest thy first step learn to discern the real from the
false, the ever-fleeting from the everlasting. Learn
above all to separate Head-learning from SoulWisdom, the “Eye” from the “Heart” doctrine.
False learning is rejected by the Wise, and scattered
to the Winds by the good Law. Its wheel revolves
for all, the humble and the proud. The “Doctrine
of the Eye” (9 ) is for the crowd, the “Doctrine of
the Heart,” for the elect. The first repeat in pride:
“Behold, I know,” the last, they who in humbleness
have garnered, low confess, “thus have I heard” (10 ).
“Great Sifter” is the name of the “Heart Doctrine,”
O disciple.
The wheel of the good Law moves swiftly on. It
grinds by night and day. The worthless husks it drives
from out the golden grain, the refuse from the flour.
The hand of Karma guides the wheel; the revolutions
mark the beatings of the Karmic heart.
If thou art told that to become Arhan thou hast to
cease to love all beings—tell them they lie.
If thou art told that to gain liberation thou hast
to hate thy mother and disregard thy son; to disavow
thy father and call him “householder” (11 ); for man
and beast all pity to renounce —tell them their
tongue is false.
Thus teach the Tîrthikas, the unbelievers.†
The Dharma of the “Eye” is the embodiment of
the external, and the non-existing.
The Dharma of the “Heart” is the embodiment of
Bodhi,† the Permanent and Everlasting.
Have patience, Candidate, as one who fears no
failure, courts no success. Fix thy Soul’s gaze upon
the star whose ray thou art (17 ), the flaming star that
shines within the lightless depths of ever-being, the
boundless fields of the Unknown.
To live to benefit mankind is the first step. To
practise the six glorious virtues (23 ) is the second.
To don Nirmânakâya’s humble robe is to forego
eternal bliss for Self, to help on man’s salvation. To
reach Nirvâna’s bliss, but to renounce it, is the
supreme, the final step—the highest on Renunciation’s Path.
Know, O Disciple, this is the Secret Path, selected
by the Buddhas of Perfection, who sacrificed The
SELF to weaker Selves.
Yet, if the “Doctrine of the Heart” is too highwinged for thee. If thou need’st help thyself and
fearest to offer help to others,—then, thou of timid
heart, be warned in time: remain content with the
“Eye Doctrine” of the Law. Hope still. For if
THE TWO PATHS. 33
the “Secret Path” is unattainable this “day,” it is
within thy reach “to-morrow.” (24 ). Learn that no
efforts, not the smallest—whether in right or wrong
direction—can vanish from the world of causes. E’en
wasted smoke remains not traceless. “A harsh word
uttered in past lives, is not destroyed but ever comes
again.”* The pepper plant will not give birth to
roses, nor the sweet jessamine’s silver star to thorn
or thistle turn.
