SACRED TEXT

A symbol of the true message of the Higher Self engraven on the spiritual tables of the heart, and to be understood by the personality when it is open to receive it.

“Those who study the Doctrine are set free from fear—whether of things in heaven or things on earth, for they are grafted on the Tree of Life and are taught daily thereby. As regards things in heaven, the meaning is that the fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom, has been absorbed by the love of God, which is wisdom in realisation, and the Divine Doctrine cannot be studied without imparting love for the Divine. To walk in the path of the Doctrine is therefore to follow the path of love; it is said otherwise to lead into the way of truth, so that we learn how the soul may return to its Master. It is not the work of a certain day, nor of a certain hour but one of the day and the night. We shall understand why it is added that he who neglects or forsakes the study of the doctrine is not less guilty than if he separated himself from the Tree of Life, for he is leading the life of separation” (from Zohar). – A. E. Waite, Secret Doctrine in Israel, p. 25.
