Carlyle understood the value of Silence when he wrote to Emerson: --- "Silence is the greatest thing I worship at present; almost sole tenant of my Pantheon! Let a man know rightly to hold his peace. I love to repeat to myself, 'Silence is of Eternity!'"

To attain the power to listen at any time, and at all times, to the Silence, is to have unraveled the secret of the Sphynx. In her, Silence is deified and made vocal. All who have learned the secret of living through Concentration, have lifted the "Veil of Isis!' I recommend you to memorize this little poem of mine that it may lead you to Life, through Meditation.

UNITY.

I stood by Sphynx in desert lone.
Impassive and cold her face of stone;
Stolid and dull those ancient eyes;
Her lips refused me any tone;
Her ears were deaf as stone on shore;
Heart still as in eons before.
In awe I bowed to material guise,
Nor deemed for me the great surprise,
To greet me from those stony eyes.
Musing, I said, "All are divine!
Kin art thou to this Life of mine!
We're children both of the Infinite One!"
Then vocal became those lips of stone;
Her ear had caught my gentlest tone;
From eyes a flame of Love-light shone;
Heart beat as once to priest of yore!
I was lone no more on desert sand ---
A companion held my hand.
I'd solved the riddle of all time ---
The SOUL of Sphynx was one with mine.
