stanza 5, slokas 1-5

Stanza V
1. The Primordial Seven, the First Seven Breaths of the Dragon of Wisdom, produce in their turn from their Holy Circumgyrating Breaths the Fiery Whirlwind.
2. They make of Him the Messenger of their will. The Dzyu becomes Fohat, the swift son of the Divine sons whose sons are the Lipika, runs circular errands. Fohat is the steed and the thought is the rider. He passes like lightning through the fiery clouds; takes three, and five, and seven strides through the seven regions above, and the seven below. He lifts his voice, and calls the innumerable sparks, and joins them.
3. He is their guiding spirit and leader. When he commences work, he separate the sparks of the Lower Kingdom that float and thrill with joy in their radiant dwellings, and form therewith the germs of wheels. He places them in the six directions of space, and one in the middle – the central wheel.
4. Fohat traces spiral lines to unite the sixth to the seventh – the crown; an army of the Sons of Light stands at each angle, and the Lipika in the middle wheel. They say: This is good , the first Divine world is ready, the first is now the second. Then the “Divine Arupa” reflects Itself in Chhaya Loka, the first garment of the Anupadaka.
5. Fohat takes five strides and builds a winged wheel at each corner of the square, for the four holy ones and their armies.

 

 

 

“Mr. A. Keightley:  Question 14. Have the four Maharajahs and the four elements a special terrestrial application, as well as a kosmic one?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Except in karma, nothing at all. The four Maharajahs produce karmic effects, certainly, because there Lipika Maharajah is a title they have, simply.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  What is the meaning of the four elements, then?

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  In what respect?

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  As related to those four Maharajahs.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  I don’t know what you are talking about. I didn’t see the last question. I don’t understand what you mean.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  We had better ask another time.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  I told you to take out the 15th.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  That is all there is, then.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  I think that my fate or my karma is to live all my life surrounded by points of interrogation. Sometimes I have the nightmare, and it seems to me I am surrounded by points of negation.

 
Mr. _____:  Points of admiration, I hope, as well.

 
Mr. A. Keightley:  Well, you should not convert yourself into such a perpetual conundrum.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  I am a very simple-minded old woman. I come here and offer to teach you what I can. You accept, very well; I cannot teach you more than I can, you know.

 
Miss Kenealy:  You say so much we want to know.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  You all are discreet. It is this immediately in the house {sic}, I am sorry Dr. Williams is not here. He puts questions beautifully.

 
Miss Kenealy:  I think you are rather hard on us all.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  In the first place, you ask sometimes questions that trespass on forbidden ground. What is the use of my telling you one thing, and then shutting the door in your face? It will only be vexation of spirit, and it won’t teach you much. And I cannot say certain things. I Tell all that is permitted to give. It may be very foolish, very exclusive, very selfish. You may think what you like; I have not made the rules, I never made the laws. I have not so received it, nor shall I so impart. What I promised not to reveal I cannot, it is impossible.

 
Miss Kenealy:  You know so much that what is very simple to you is often very hard to us.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  You see, you always continue to ask things that really I cannot give fully. So what is the use of saying it by bits?

 
Mr. Kingsland:  We have a dim perception there is something behind, so we keep pegging away.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  You cannot complain, because you have the explanation of many things.

 
Mr. Kingsland:  I am speaking now generally, for the company.

 
Here the proceedings terminated.”

 
H. P. Blavatsky
