Welcome to The Golden Stairs!
Welcome to The Golden Stairs blog!
What’s it about?
The Golden Stairs, will be a blog that will carry articles on a gamut of spiritual topics ranging from Energy Healing, Meditation and Yoga to Bible, Bhagavad Gita, Theosophy and God knows what else.
Why the name?
The name of this blog is inspired by a beautiful poem given by Madame Blavatsky:
“Behold the truth before you;
A clean life, An open mind,A pure heart,
An eager intellect, An unveiled spiritual perception,
A brotherliness for one’s co-disciple,
A readiness to give and receive advice and instruction,
A loyal sense of duty to the teacher, A willing obedience to the behests of truth,
Once we have placed our confidence in, and believe that teacher to be in possession of it;
A courageous endurance of personal injustice, A brave declaration of principles,
A valiant defense of those who are unjustly attacked,
And a constant eye to the ideal of Human progression and perfection which the secret science (Gupta-Vidya) depicts -
these are the Golden Stairs up the steps of which the learner may climb to the temple of divine wisdom.”
-H.P.Blavatsky, complete Works XII

Hello,
I did a search on ‘The Golden Stairs’ and found your page. Very well designed. The Golden Stairs is one of my favorite guidelines for the disciple by HPB.
I see the first step: “a clean life” as the foundation that any aspirant to the spiritual path should work on before getting involved in occultism. To me it means to live an ethical life. We all know what that means. In other words, to live an altruistic life and combat the selfishness that all of us carry from birth.
Quite interesting that after “a clean life” comes “an open mind.” To me it implies to be free mentally as well as in any other way. “A pure heart” completes the first three steps. If we try to concentrate on those main steps we have enough work to keep us occupied for several lifetimes.
That is my contribution to the blog. I’ll be glad to check the site from time to time to see if others write some comments.
Thank you for your effort to build this web site.
