In proceeding to the contemplation of the mysteries of knowledge, we shall adhere to the celebrated and venerable rule of tradition, commencing from the origin of the universe, setting forth those points of physical contemplation which are necessary to be premised, and removing whatever can be an obstacle on the way; so that the ear may be prepared for the reception of the tradition of the Gnosis, the ground being cleared of weeds and fitted for the planting of the vineyard; for there is a conflict before the conflict, and mysteries before the mysteries.-S. Clement of Alexandria.Let the specimen suffice to those who have ears. For it is not required to unfold the mystery, but only to indicate what is sufficient.-Ibid.He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.-S. Matthew.
Autorenporträt
Annie Besant was a prominent British social activist, feminist, and writer who became interested in spiritual and philosophical matters during her lifetime. One of her most notable works was "An Introduction to Yoga," which was written before 1908. In this book, Besant provided a comprehensive overview of the practice and philosophy of yoga, drawing on her own experiences and research. She discussed the various types of yoga, their principles, techniques, and benefits, and emphasized the importance of yoga as a tool for personal and spiritual growth. Besant's work was groundbreaking in its accessibility and comprehensiveness, as it was one of the first English-language books on the subject. Her writing helped to popularize yoga in the West and contributed to its growing interest and understanding. Moreover, Besant's "An Introduction to Yoga" remains a significant work in the field, and her contribution to the spread of yoga and Eastern philosophy in the West continues to be appreciated by many.
