The Golden Staircase

Painting by Nicolas Castell


Painting by Joseph Parker

"A clean life, an open mind, A pure heart, an eager intellect,

An unveiled spiritual perception, A brotherliness for all,

A readiness to give and receive advice and instruction,

A loyal sense of duty to the Teacher, A willing obedience to the behests of TRUTH,

Once we have placed our confidence in, And believe that Teacher to be in possession of it;

A courageous endurance of personal injustice, A brave declaration of principles,

A valiant defence of those who are unjustly attacked, And a constant eye to the ideal of human progression, And perfection which the secret science depicts—

These are the golden stairs Up the steps of which the learner may climb

To the Temple of Divine Wisdom."

By H. P. Blavatsky

Fairy Town

Thị Trấn Cổ Tích.

"Nơi vách đá vỗn dĩ có cây trường sinh
Luôn có một dòng sông mơ mộng uốn khúc trong thị trấn cổ tích
Rẽ sang hai lối lý tưởng và hiện thực rồi lại hòa vào nhau dưới chân núi
Bọt nước bắn lên từ dòng chảy vô tận, cuốn theo thời gian hòa vào dòng nước
Để mọi thứ từ ngày xưa đều đi đến cái kết hạnh phúc bền lâu."
