The Voice Of The Silence

by H.P.Blavatsky

Translating from memory some of the ancient maxims from the Book of the Golden Precepts - itself drawn from the same archaic source as the Stanzas of Dzyan on which The Secret Doctrine is based - the author clarifies the essential difference between the two paths of spiritual attainment. The one pursued by those seeking truth for their own enlightenment; the other followed by those of every age and land whose sole aspiration for self-knowledge is prompted by compassionate concern for the well-being of all mankind.
