Wrong and
unjust are those who think so; who attribute to indifference for other
people's welfare a policy necessitated, on the contrary, by a far-seeing
universal philanthropy; who accuse the custodians of lofty physical and
spiritual though long rejected truths, of holding them high above the
people's heads. In truth, the inability to reach them lies entirely
with the seekers. Indeed, the chief reason among many others for such a
reticence, at any rate, with regard to secrets pertaining to physical
sciences--is to be sought elsewhere.* It rests entirely on the
impossibility of imparting that the nature of which is at the present
stage of the world's development, beyond the comprehension of the
would-be learners, however intellectual and however scientifically
trained may be the latter. This tremendous difficulty is now explained
to the few, who, besides having read "Esoteric Buddhism," have studied
and understood the several occult axioms approached in it. It is safe
to say that it will not be even vaguely realized by the general reader,
but will offer the pretext for sheer abuse.
