Abhidharma – ( Sk. ). From Buddhist metaphysics. The light of Abhidharma signifies the
highest consciousness, Buddhi-manas. (LHR I, p 496)
The light of Abhidharma is the combination of the fire of higher spheres with the
radiation of the consciousness. (AY, 498)
Abodes of the Brotherhood – Let the heights of the Caucasus, Altai, and Himalayas be the
abodes of the Beautiful Brotherhood. (BR, 361)
Abramram – When you hear the word Abramram , it will be a reminder about the center of
the Chalice, where is concentrated the straight-knowledge predestined for the future
evolution. (AY, 596)
see also Chalice
Absentation – Amidst deeply engrossing occupations you have more than once felt a sudden
expenditure of energy. Even during the most absorbing labors you might have sensed
an inexplicable absentation. A perceptive disciple values these flights of
consciousness. (BR, 603)
Absent-mindedness – May be due to the tension of the cosmic currents absorbing one’s
psychic energy. (BR, 517)
Absolute – see Parabrahman
Abyss of Vortices – There could have been noticed extraordinary spatial currents of such
tension that they overpowered mental sendings. This manifestation is rare, and the
more should it be noted. Raging spatial currents do not continue for long, therefore it
is very instructive to observe them. They cannot be prolonged, or they would produce
a catastrophe. Equilibrium in itself can resist them, yet each such moment is
dangerous. We call this the abyss of vortices. (BR, 313)
Acceleration – Acceleration, as well as retardation, proceeds in waves. Therefore, when
perceiving a wave of acceleration one must succeed in casting into it as many seeds
as possible. (LMG II, p 128)
Accumulations – The principle of cumulation lies in spirit-creativeness. (INF II, 114)
A sensitive Agni Yogi knows all paths to the realization of Infinity. The spirit-
knowledge reads the Book of Life, and the wisdom of ages is deposited as
accumulations in the Chalice. (INF II, 500)
The magnet of the spirit, this propellent aggregator of the life energies, is nurtured by
the manifestation of the cosmic energy. The accumulations in the Chalice gather
around the seed of the spirit, enveloping it in their colors. The very striving seed of
the spirit responds to the fiery impulsion. Thus, the magnet of the spirit of an Agni

Achievement – Achievement is not renunciation; it is containment and movement. (LMG II,
p 176)
The Golden Path, the combining path, affirms both qualities—achievement and
caution. Otherwise all would be driven to suicide. Achievement is created in full
consciousness and responsibility. (BR, 155)
Action – If an action is small, it needs the help of various handmade objects. But when the
action becomes great it can dispense with earthly objects. This is the first touchstone
of action. ...
The second quality of action is its mobility. Like a whirlwind of primary matter, a
true action must vibrate with possibilities. Only a flight can crown a luminous
manifested thought.
The third quality of action is its unexpectedness. Every action which has
astounded the minds of the people was the result of an unexpected way of thinking.
The fourth quality of action is its elusiveness. Only this quality protects the action
against destructiveness.
The fifth quality of action is its convincingness. As every lightning flash connects
our consciousness with the Cosmos, so each action should strike like a flashing
sword.
The sixth quality of action is its lawfulness. Only the consciousness of the
fundamentals of the world evolution can advance the action immutably.
The seventh quality of action is its pure motive. By this path one can move
weighty loads without fatigue. (LMG II, p 197)
Adaptability – Adaptability is the best means for conservation of forces… The development
of adaptability actually takes place in the current of life. To all is known the sensation
of the boundaries of spheres… Sternly accustom yourselves to reception of
contrasting sensations, to the grasping of unexpectedness. All is expected, because all
is realized. (COM, 245)
Aditi – ( Sk. ). The Vedic name for the Mulaprakriti of the Vedantists; the abstract aspect of
Parabrahman, though both unmanifested and unknowable. In the Vedas Aditi is the
“Mother-Goddess”, her terrestrial symbol being infinite and shoreless space. (TG)
The first differentiation in the periodic manifestations of eternal Nature, sexless and
infinite, is Aditi in “That”, or the potential space inside the abstract Space. In its next
manifestation it appears as the divine immaculate Mother-Nature within the all-
embracing absolute Infinity. Thus, Space is called “Mother” until its cosmic activity
begins, and Father-Mother in its first stage of awakening. (LHR I, pp 487-488)
Age – Honored is old age in a body with a clear consciousness; for in the essential nature
there is then no old age. (COM, 144)

Yogi is the creative sower of the affirmed fires. Verily, the sower of cosmic fires into
the consciousness of men is a true co-worker of Cosmos. (INF II, 35)
