To put it quite simply, he had reached the top of his class in this particular school of life and learning and, therefore, was ready and willing to pass on into the higher grade. He, however, left a successor capable of maintaining the theories he inculcated, a man named Aselzion, who elected to live in an almost inaccessible spot among mountains with a few followers and disciples.
He looked at me intently and with curiosity, as though he sought to read my mind. Remembering that Aselzion had said I was not to speak unless spoken to, I only returned his look steadfastly, and with a smile. "You are not unhappy, or afraid, or restless," he said, slowly "That is well! You are making a good beginning. And now, whatever you see or hear, keep silence!
Aselzion looked full at me. "That is your desire? to help him and to be all in all to him?" he said "Why did you not realise this ages ago?
Those who take without giving are generally unsuccessful in their lives and aims while those who give without taking appear to be miraculously served by both fame and fortune, this being merely the enactment of the spiritual law." "I do not want fame or fortune," I said "Love is enough for me!" Aselzion smiled. "Enough for you indeed! My child, it is enough for all!
I sat rigidly in the chair by the crystal table, listening to every word. The woman here is the latest victim of his hypnotic suggestions, isn't she?" "Yes. One may say his LAST victim he will victimise no more." "I suppose if Aselzion told her the truth she would go at once?" "Of course! Why should she remain?
My former guide entered almost immediately, and Aselzion addressed him: "Honorius," he said "show this lady to her room, She will follow the course of a probationer and student" as he spoke, Honorius gave me a look of undisguised amazement and pity "The moment she desires to leave, every facility for her departure is to be granted to her.
The man he thus addressed hesitated as though he had something more to say then with a deep obeisance went back to his place. Aselzion waited till he was seated and after the brief interval spoke again- "If all of you here present are content with your rule of life in this place, and with the studies you are undertaking, and none of you wish to leave, I ask for the usual sign."
"I could not leave you without another last word," he said "And I have brought you a letter" he gave me a sealed envelope as he spoke "which will tell you how to find Aselzion. I myself will write to him also and prepare him for your arrival.
"As I have told you," he said "I came out of my studies with Aselzion successfully enough to feel justified in going on with my work alone.
And yet I could be young! my powers of work have increased rather than lessened I enjoy life more than those that have youth on their side but I know I carry the burden of seventy years upon me, and I say that surely it is better to die than live even so long!" Aselzion, standing in the full light of the glittering Cross and Star, looked upon him with a smile.
