274.-275.

274 – Thou thinkest the ascetic in his cave or on hismountaintop a stone and a do-nothing. What dost thou know? He may be filling the world with the mighty currents of his will and changing it by the pressure of his soul-state.

275 – That which the liberated sees in his soul on its mountain- tops, heroes and prophets spring up in the material world to proclaim and accomplish.

276 – The Theosophists are wrong in their circumstances but right in the essential. If the French Revolution took place, it was because a soul on the Indian snows dreamed of God as freedom, brotherhood and equality.

This is simply to show us that the power of the spirit is far greater than all material powers. But both are indispensable for the realisation.
