When we turn to the treatment of meditation and ecstasy in the earlier Buddhist writings we are struck by its general resemblance to the programme laid down in the Yoga Sûtras, and by many coincidences of detail. The exercises, rules of conduct, and the powers to be incidentally obtained are all similar.
The first of these notable things is one which incidentally throws a rather painful glare on the corruptions of political life in our old and belauded colonial days. The speaker of the House of Burgesses at that time was John Robinson, a man of great estate, foremost among all the landed aristocracy of Virginia.
With an air of incidentally recalling a fact, the Duchess said after they had risen to leave her: "Mademoiselle Valle tells me you have an elderly nurse you are very fond of. She seems to belong to a class of servants almost extinct." "I love her," Robin faltered because the sudden reminder brought back a pang to her. There was a look in her eyes which faltered also. "She loves me.
He returned thanks simply and shortly; and without pointedly noticing the allusion in which Lord Raby had indulged, remarked, incidentally, that he had retired, certainly for some years perhaps forever from political life. Vargrave smiled significantly at Lord Raby, and hastened to lead the conversation into party discussion.
On that day they learned of the avalanche, its origin, its devastating power, and, of course, its spelling. On that day they read "Snow Bound" and the snow poems of Longfellow and Lowell. Thus the stream of life was clarified, rectified, and amplified as it passed through the school, and, incidentally, the teacher and the school were glorified in their thoughts.
Lloyd George's office in London called up the Admiralty and asked them to give me a boat in which to go across. Incidentally I was informed by Col. House, on my arrival in Paris, that copies of my telegrams had been sent at once to Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Balfour. Senator KNOX. Mr. Bullitt, I do not think we need to go into quite so much detail.
That state, embracing the greater part of what we know as Central India, was thus independent at the accession of Akbar. So likewise was Khándesh: so also were the states of Rájpútána. These latter deserve a more detailed notice. The exploits of the great Sanga Ráná have been incidentally referred to in the first chapter.
The result is that what ordinarily remains in memory is no representative of particular moments or shocks though sensation, as in dreams, may be incidentally recreated from within but rather a logical possession, a sense of acquaintance with a certain field of reality, in a word, a consciousness of knowledge. But what, we may ask, is this reality, which we boast to know?
When the Japanese reached their objective they were not in danger of being blasted out by high explosives and incidentally they were not fighting what has been called the most highly trained army on earth on the most concentrated front that has ever been known in military history. But "Up and at them!" Sir Douglas Haig, who had "all his nerve with him," said to go ahead.
A caravan from the Sudan enters, we will say, Kano. The garfla sheik pack master, or superintendent, goes at once to the financial agent of the sultan and pays the usual liken, or tariff charges. Then he goes to the sultan himself and incidentally leaves in his possession a generous money present. Then, if he desires, he may hire half a dozen or more guards.
