PURSUE THE PRINCIPLE AND NOT PERSONALITY

PURSUE THE PRINCIPLE AND NOT PERSONALITY

It is the principle that counts, not the personality. The personality merely illustrates the principle in so far as is humanly possible. The ideal is ever approached and never reached in flesh and form. But deep within where the boundaries blur, where flesh leads to spirit, form to formlessness and scattered thoughts, now concentrated and brought to focus, integrate and coalesce unto superconsciousness, there the physical melts and transmutes into the supraphysical, and personality dissolves to become pure principle. The mundane material becomes the abstract immaterial, the Spirit which is existence-consciousness-bliss absolute. It is this abstract ideal that is the goal, not the intermediary stages of quasi-reality. This principle is to be sought in essence and not in compromised corruption that attempts to fit the infinite into the commonplace finite order of earthly living. Personalities are ever embodying the principle imperfectly and cannot satisfy the sincere seeking soul. The principle alone fulfils. Seek, therefore, the principle and run not after ruinous personalities or organisations that profit from spirituality. 🕉
