A satire on the boasted wisdom, fortitude, magnanimity, and temperance of man, in the form of a dialogue between Ulysses in the island of Circe, and Gryllus, whom she had changed into a swine, and who now prefers his swinish condition to a return to the human form; Ulysses asks Circe for permission to restore his companions to the human shape. Circe will grant the request if the men themselves desire it. Gryllus, one of them, is brought forward to answer in behalf of the entire company. He refuses, and gives his reasons. He says that by making him and his companions beasts, Circe has done them a great favour. Beasts have more fortitude than men; they fight in fair, open combat, without trick or artifice; they are no cowards, they never cry for mercy. Beasts are courageous and daring, even the females; while the courage of men is artificial, and women are timid. Beasts are more temperate and chaste then man; they indulge their appetites only in a natural way, and at the proper season. Beasts do not value silver or gold. They have no adventitious desire. Their senses are more accurate. Beasts are satisfied with one kind of food, and this procured without difficulty; they have nature for their teacher, and could teach men many useful lessons. Men are incontinent: they indulge unnatural and excessive appetites; and are never satisfied.

Manas-mind, its vehicle, kāma-desire, and their interplay with other minds through karma-action are hard concepts to grasp without an appreciation that they are a single dynamic trinity, and not three ontologically distinct ideas. In his Science of the Emotions, Bhagavān Dās undertakes a bold and incisive study of the continuum of Desire-Thought-Action, where he demonstrates elegantly and convincingly that “emotions” and “feelings,” mostly mixed and lumped together by the ignoramus, are none other than the workings of this occult triplet. Mastership of the mind’s pendular māyāvic movements, swinging back and forth from the Centre of Being, is prerequisite to success in whatever domain it chooses to focus upon. Dr. Dās identifies the essential nature of Desire, elaborates upon the duality of primordial e-motions and their endless permutations, and proceeds unravelling the aetiology of attitudes and their behavioural implications. His Science sheds light on man’s lower propensities which, if left unchecked, will go on demeaning character and disgracing kith and kin. He instructs, amuses, and enlightens the reader through a series of pithy essays. He even lays bare the distinguishing qualities between confusingly similar emotions, from Devotion and Worship, to Smile and Laughter. The Science of the Emotions remains the definitive text for those seeking knowledge of self and Self.

On laughter and sobs, smiles and tears. Laughter is the physical manifestation of a sudden and excessive recognition of one’s own superiority. What the orgasm of Laughter is to pleasure, that of Sobs is to pain. As Laughter is the abrupt expansion of body and mind, so Sobbing is the sudden and spasmodic contraction of the same. The ego-feeling takes shape as self-Complacence in Laughter, and as self-Pity in Sobbing. Laughter is egoistic, always, but the young have a right, almost a duty, to be egoistic, otherwise they would not grow, and growing is always at the expense of someone else. Human beings smile for joy and smile sadly; they weep in gladness and they weep in pain. Loud laughter and talk should be shunned. There are more grounds for sorrow than for laughter in our present world. The great teachers laugh seldom but smile often, in tenderness and sadness; sad to see another’s pain, tender to relieve it. The violent physical laugh is the laugh of the coarse sense of moreness of the egocentric man, while the quiet, tender smile is the smile of the subtle sense of moreness of the unselfish man. Mockery is the fume of little hearts, noble manners are the blossoms of the noble heart. Golden silence is the only antidote to self-assertion. Bhagavan Das’ annotations on Henri Bergson’s analysis of Laughter. There is nothing benevolent in laughter, its purpose is to return evil for evil and to intimidate by humiliating. Because laughter is self-assertive, conceited, presumptuous, and impertinent, even when it is merely playful, its fruit turns to ashes in the mouth of the philosopher who, being aware of the underlying egotism, is appalled by its pettiness and paltriness. It doesn’t take long for the puffed up self-esteem to break out in laughter. Let us pray to be spared from low buffoonery and mocking laughs. Vex not thou the poet’s mind with thy shallow wit.

Blood is the vehicle for Kama, Prana, and Linga-sharira. Its essence is Kama, permeated by Prana, which is the vehicle of Linga-sharira. Its red cells are drops of electric fluid, carrying Fohatic energy to Shtula-sharira. Its white cells ooze out of Linga-sharira, which is curled in the spleen: they are the Sweat-born of the Chhaya. Enriched by the life-giving Prana, white cells vitalise and energise every part of the body with Kama. When Kama leaves, the blood clots. But when lightning strikes, the blood doesn’t clot. Blood is the seventh and lowest principle of our body. The Sun is the first and highest. Animal blood is an individualised but fleeting state of the One Life. In ancient rites of initiation, “Atonement” meant “Baptism of Blood.” At the last moment of the Supreme Initiation, either the Hierophant or the “newly born,” the worthier of the two had to “die,” since two Adepts of equal power must not live. In its highest aspect, blood is sunlight-yellow; in its lowest, blood is red, the colour of Black Magic. The spilt blood of gods vivifies man and all that lives. Soul, life, and blood are synonymous in every language. By offering his blood to the Supreme God, mortal man can become immortal. Cain’s fratricide was blood-shedding, not life-taking. Atlanteans were the first anthropomorphists who worshipped form and matter. Cain and Abel are the sacrificed and sacrificing couple, both immolating themselves (as permutations of Adam and Eve, or the double-sexed Jehovah), and shedding their blood “of separation and union.” They are the “divine Hermaphrodite” of the Third Root-Race who, after the loss of spiritual potency, transformed humanity into wholly physical men. Life-giving water is the blood of the Earth. There is a fountain of life in the bowels of the Earth and in the North Pole. It is the blood of the Earth, an electro-magnetic current that circulates through its arteries and veins: it is stored in the “navel” of the Earth, which is located in the very centre of the North Pole. The Centre of Being is the blood of the World. From the central point in the circle of life (Animal Mundi), the Universal Archæus (Liquor Vitæ) diffuses itself over the whole body of the microcosm where it appears as blood, the Great Arcanum of Life. Fohat is the blood of the Sun. Throughout our solar system, of which the Sun is the heart, there is a regular circulation of vital fluid, the same as that of the human blood that throbs in the heart of every man, but whose Life Essence the lower mind dimly perceives.

The twin sciences of psychology and metaphysics have fared worse than any other science, and have been so separated in Europe as to have become in their ignorance mortal enemies. Modern psychology is a misnomer, even though it is claimed that it has “reached conclusions of great generality and truth, regarding all that can be known to man.” The modern psychologist, dealing only with the superficial brain-consciousness, is far more materialistic than the all-denying materialism itself. Brain-consciousness, or “personality,” is the consciousness inhering in the lower portion of the mortal manas-mind, which is correlated with the physical brain. It is a mere instrument for harvesting experience on behalf of the immortal Buddhi-Manas or Monad, and imparting to it the aroma of consciously-acquired experience.
