CHAPTER 11 - Master Hilarion’s note on Rule 21.
🌻 Regard the three truths. They are equal. - 5 🌻
597. There is no harm in the fact that we do not know perfectly. It must be so; it is in the nature of things. It is when we suppose our knowledge to be complete, when it is pitifully incomplete, when we think that we know everything and condemn other men who think differently, not realizing that they may be seeing another side of a many-sided truth, that we go wrong.
Let us by all means cling to our imperfect knowledge, but, while trying to increase it whenever we get an opportunity, let us never forget that it is imperfect, lest we should be led into the mistake of condemning someone who perhaps knows more than we do. Truth is deep; truth is often mysterious. It cannot be grasped in its entirety by any one man nor by any one body or sect of men. We must gradually learn to appreciate truth, before we can know it in any of its aspects.
The truth about anything is the way in which that thing presents itself to the Logos, to the Maker, of the whole system. He who made it alone understands all, knows all things as they are. His view is the only perfect view.
For us truth is relative. We cannot see the whole as He sees it; but although our knowledge must be imperfect at least it need not be wrong as far as it goes. We may have so much of the truth about a certain thing chat when we come to know all about it, when we reach Adeptship, we shall not have to correct what we have previously known, but only to add to it.
