Excerpt from The Indo-American Magazine, Vol. 1: Spring 1909
Books that change the courses of human lives by stirring human consciousness through a new presentation of old truths are not many, and when they appear they are not loudly greeted. Slowly they make their way to recognition through the familiar stages of neglect, ridicule and attack. They may in time become much talked of, but they are seldom widely read, and they are never popular. Their value does not rest upon a general circulation, but in the instruction they convey to isolated individuals through whose minds and lives their teaching filters into other lives here and there, reaching by and by, scattered groups, and, gradually, by ever widening circles, touching the masses of mankind.
What is new is not the truth, but the discovery which penetrates its covering, the revelation which unfolds it. Sometimes the revelation is not new; it may have been a thousand times unfolded and a thousand times forgotten, yet always there has lingered somewhere in the chain of history the key to the forgotten treasure.
