INTRINSIC BRIGHTNESS
When gold is dug out of the mines it hardly looks different from the clay that clings to it. But when a skilful worker separates the gold from the dross, one can see its intrinsic lustre. · The soul, too is mixed with the dross of Karma. But the Alchemy of Knowledge can separate the soul from Karma and then it will shine forth in all its natural glory.
