The Theosophical classic on discipline, desire, and the inner path — restored with Collins's own Notes and Comments.
First published anonymously in 1885, Light on the Path is one of the most enduring texts to emerge from the Theosophical revival — a slim, aphoristic treatise addressed directly to the disciple, on killing out ambition, mastering desire, and preparing the self for the way ahead.
This edition reproduces the 1888 text, the first to include Mabel Collins's own explanatory Notes, together with her Comments — originally published in the journal Lucifer in 1887–88 — which unpack the book's four central aphorisms in greater depth. Together, these layers make this the fullest early published form of the work: rules, reflections, and commentary in one volume.
Whether you're new to Theosophy and Western esotericism or returning to a text you've read many times, Light on the Path rewards slow, repeated reading — each rule holding more than it first appears to say.
70 pages, paperback
