Sylvia Cranston once wrote that `The Voice of the Silence' is epitomized in the `Pledge of Kwan Yin,' the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy: Never will I seek nor perceive private individual salvation; never will I enter into final peace alone; but forever and everywhere will I live and strive for the redemption of every creature throughout the world.' If those words strike a chord with you, and represent what - if you think about it - you most want to do with your life, you will probably have experienced many times how impotent you feel to do more than shift the tiniest drop in the ocean of human suffering. Can we become capable of doing more? What faculties would we need? In what way do we need to change? Where should we begin? In the most eloquent, poetic language, The Voice of the Silence gives answers to all these questions and more, in words that do not yield up all their meaning straight away, but can be savoured endlessly, revealing ever-greater depth the more we try to put into practice their instructions. Translated in 1889 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky from an Indian text she had learnt by heart, The Voice of the Silence is one of the greatest spiritual classics of all time. 122pp, 105mm x 148mm, softback, 1992
