61. MAIN OBJECT OF ALL METHODS OF PRACTICE IDENTICAL

            98. It will be observed from Article 15 that the attainment of the object of religion, as defined in the beginning of this book, is possible in that condition alone in which the spirit gains access into the purely spiritual regions. The two methods of spiritual practice, we have already described and discussed, were shown to have been prescribed specially for the attainment of the object referred to, and the third practice now under consideration has also the same end in view. In each of the two practices referred to, the main feature is the development of the spiritual current, that is to say, the concentration and the subsequent exaltation of the spirit. In the method of repetition of the true holy name described below, the same main feature exists. The functions of that holy name are purely spiritual and attractive, entirely devoid of all mental and material powers and tendencies.
