The Endowers of man with his conscious, immortal ego, are the “ Solar Angels ” — whether so regarded metaphorically or literally. The mysteries of the Conscious {{Style S-Small capitals|ego}} or human Soul are great. The esoteric name of these “ Solar Angels ” is, literally, the “ Lords ” ''( Nath ) ''of “ persevering ceaseless devotion ” ''( pranidhâna )''. Therefore they of the ''fifth ''principle ''( Manas ) ''seem to be connected with, or to have originated the system of the Yogis who make of ''pranidhâna ''their ''fifth ''observance (see ''Yoga Shastra'', II., 32.) It has already been explained why the trans-Himalayan Occultists regard them as evidently identical with those who in India are termed ''Kumâras'', ''Agnishwattas'', and the ''Barhishads.'' | The Endowers of man with his conscious, immortal ego, are the “ Solar Angels ” — whether so regarded metaphorically or literally.

How precise and true is Plato’s expression, how profound and philosophical his remark on the (human) soul or ego, when he defined it as “ a compound of the ''same ''and the ''other.''” And yet how little this hint has been understood, since the world took it to mean that the soul was the breath of God, of Jehovah. It is “ the ''same ''and the ''other'',” as the great Initiate-Philosopher said ; for the ego (the “ Higher Self ” when merged with and in the Divine Monad) is Man, and yet the ''same ''as the “ {{Style S-Small capitals|other}},” the Angel in him incarnated, as the same with the universal {{Style S-Small capitals|Mahat}}. The great classics and philosophers felt this truth, when saying that “ there must be something within us which produces our thoughts. Something very subtle ; it is a breath ; it is fire ; it is ether ; | How precise and true is Plato’s expression, how profound and philosophical his remark on the (human) soul or {{Style S-Small capitals|ego}}, when he defined it as “ a compound of the ''same ''and the ''other.''” And yet how little this hint has been understood, since the world took it to mean that the soul was the breath of God, of Jehovah.
