“Therefore in the Hall of Learning, when he is capable of entering there, the disciple will always find his master.”
And in the following note:
“When the disciple is ready to learn, then he is accepted, acknowledged, recognized. It must be so; for he has lit his lamp, and it cannot be hidden.”
The poem in question concludes with the following exalted lines which contain a significant statement of one of the great truths of Occultism:
“I swear to you the architects shall appear without fail,
I swear to you they will understand you and justify you,
The greatest among them shall be he who best knows you, and encloses all and is faithful to all.
He and the rest shall not forget you, they shall perceive that you are not an iota less than they,
You shall be fully glorified in them.”
It is hardly possible to say whether or not the poet means that these architects are in one sense the various, changeful mortal costumes the human monad had here and there, in many races and places, assumed while passing through the wheel of rebirths. When he says that the architects “will understand you and justify you,” we may easily picture the time when the regenerated man, now able to see all his illusionary entrances upon the stage of life under the costume of varied personalities, can understand that all these different incarnations were fully justified by the need for the particular experience found in each new life, and thus he himself is glorified and justified by these architects, who were really himself.
