London Lectures of 1907

PART I
89/96

All of you must be aware that there are some kinds of music which have the remarkable effect upon you, of lifting you higher than you can rise by your own unassisted effort.

Even the songs of illiterate Christian bodies do have some effect upon them, in raising them to a higher level, although they possess little of the true quality of the mantra.

In Theosophy you find all these things dealt with scientifically--a mass of knowledge, but all growing out of the original statement that man can know God.
Now it is clear that in all that, there is nothing which a man of any faith cannot accept, cannot study.

I do not mean that he will accept everything that a Theosophist would say; but I mean that the knowledge is knowledge of a kind which he will be wise to study, and to appropriate so far as it recommends itself to his reason and his intuition.

And that is all the man need do--study.
