Aphorism - 212
212Poets make much of death and external afflictions; but the only tragedies are the souls failures and the only epic mans triumphant ascent towards godhead.
Usually man is not afflicted with the only thing truly tragic, the failure to find ones soul and to live according to its law.1
In truth, the only thing that is truly tragic is not to become conscious of ones soul, the psychic being, and not to be entirely guided by it in ones life.
To die before having found ones soul and lived according to its law, that is the true failure.
And the true epic, the true glory is to find the Divine in oneself and to live according to His law.
3 December 1969
