THE KEY OF KNOWLEDGE.
"I heard a knock-a hard, hard, hard blowOn my door and cried I: 'Who is it? Ho!' I wondering waited entranced, and lo! How soft and sweet Love whispered low, 'Tis thou that knockest, do you not know?"
Ancient evolutionists declare that the true secret of evolution lies in the inherent inclination for the manifestation of perfection which is already within every being, and that this prefection is barred and the infinite tide behind is struggling to express itself. In the child the man is concealed and suppressed. The moment the door is opened, outrushes the suppressed man. So in man there is the potential God, kept in by the bars and locks of ignorance. When the 'Key of Knowledge' is applied to the locks, the bars and bolts fly back, and Adam stands revealed in the full glory of "I AM," the God, the SAT-CHIT-ANANDA.
