When he does this, his voice is hurled back by the power he has approached, and echoes down to the deep recesses of human ignorance.
In some confused and blurred manner the news that there is knowledge and a beneficent power which teaches is carried to as many men as will listen to it.
No disciple can cross the threshold without communicating this news, and placing it on record in some fashion or other.
He stands horror-struck at the imperfect and unprepared manner in which he has done this; and then comes the desire to do it well, and with the desire thus to help others comes the power.
For it is a pure desire, this which comes upon him; he can gain no credit, no glory, no personal reward by fulfilling it.
And therefore he obtains the power to fulfil it.
