Excerpt from Episodes From an Unwritten History I was sufficiently interested in the leaflet to which I have referred, to attend one of the lectures it advertised, and gained my first view of the man who was to unlock a closed door of my consciousness. The subject of his lecture was The Law of Karma; there was nothing new in it for me, since the law of karma was to my thinking as much a part of the general scheme of things as the law of gravitation itself. The exposition was ade quate, but not eloquent, delivered in excellent English, in a wonderfully pleasant voice. The lecturer as'he progressed gave glimpses of a remarkable and charming personality, of great earnestness, refinement, spirituality, and intel lectual power. I have heard the comments of many persons who attended his lecture, upon whom he seems to have made the same deep impression, not so much by what he said - for to many that seemed nonsense - as by what he was. At the end, my curiosity being gratified, I went away counting it an evening not ill-spent, though far from lively, and dismissed the matter from my mind.
