In that sense it is that I say to you--All those beings among whom you struggle on are fragments of the Divine. And so deceptive is the illusion in which you live, that it is hard to guess where you will first detect the sweet voice in the hearts of others. 2But know that it is certainly within yourself. Look for it there, and once having heard it, you will more readily recognise it around you. 3Note on Rule 10.--From an absolutely impersonal point of view, otherwise your sight is colored. Therefore impersonality must first be understood. 4Intelligence is impartial: no man is your enemy: no man is your friend. All alike are your teachers. Your enemy becomes a mystery that must be solved, even though it take ages: for man must be understood. Your friend becomes a part of yourself, an extension of yourself, a riddle hard to read. Only one thing is more difficult to know--your own heart. Not until the bonds of personality are loosed, can that profound mystery of self begin to be seen. Not till you stand aside from it will it in any way reveal itself to your understanding. Then, and not till then, can you grasp and guide it. Then, and not till then, can you use all its powers, and devote them to a worthy service. 5Note on Rule 13.--It is impossible to help others till you have obtained some certainty of your own. When you have learned the first 21 rules and have entered the Hall of Learning with your powers developed and sense unchained, then you will find there is a fount within you from which speech will arise. 6After the 13th rule I can add no words to what is already written. 7These notes are written only for those to whom I give my peace; those who can read what I have written with the inner as well as the outer sense. ‹Previous chapterLight on the Path; with Through the Gates of Gold 10Next chapterLight on the Path; with Through the Gates of Gold 14›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
