The Adepts referred to by "An
English F.T.S." are certainly in a position to clear up some of the
problems in Indian religious history. But there is very little chance
of their opinions being accepted by the general public under present
circumstances, unless they are supported by such evidence as is within
the reach of the outside world. As it is not always possible to procure
such evidence, there is very little use in publishing the information
which is in their possession until the public are willing to recognize
and admit the antiquity and trustworthiness of their traditions, the
extent of their powers, and the vastness of their knowledge. In the
absence of such proof as is above indicated, there is every likelihood
of their opinions being rejected as absurd and untenable; their motives
will no doubt be questioned, and some people may be tempted to deny even
the fact of their existence. It is often asked by Hindus as well as by
English men why these Adepts are so very unwilling to publish some
portion at least of the information they possess regarding the truths of
physical science.
