Subject: Theos-World Adept (AnandGholap.Net-Online Theosophy)


[ http://www.AnandGholap.net/Theosophy_Pamphlet-Anand_Gholap.pdf - Important 
pamphlet for studying and spreading Theosophy]

" It is often asked whether an ordinary man who met a Master on the physical 
plane would instantly recognize Him as such. I do not see any reason why he 
should. He would certainly find the Adept impressive, noble, dignified, holy and 
serene. He could hardly fail to recognize that he was in the presence of a 
remarkable man; but to know certainly that that man was an adept it would be 
necessary to see His causal body, which of course the ordinary man could not do. 
In that causal body the development would show by its greatly increased size, 
and by a special arrangement of the colours, which would differ for each of the 
seven great types. But all this would be quite out of the reach of the ordinary 
man whom we are postulating.

  Adepts have no definite external peculiarities by which They may be 
recognized, though there is a great calmness and benevolence common to Them all; 
Their faces are stamped always with a joyous serenity, the peace which passeth 
all understanding. Most of Them are distinctly handsome men, because Their 
physical bodies are perfect, for They live in an absolutely hygienic way, and 
above all They never worry about anything. In the case of most of us there is 
still a great deal of karma of various kinds to be worked out and among other 
things this modifies the appearance of our physical bodies. In Their case all 
karma is long ago exhausted, and consequently the physical body is a perfect 
expression on the physical plane of the Augoeides or glorified body of the Ego. 
Not only therefore is the body of a Master usually splendidly handsome, but also 
any new body that He may take in a subsequent incarnation will be an almost 
exact reproduction of the old one, because there is nothing to modify it."
