Dayspring of Youth is a book of Vedic yoga written by “M”, identified as Master Morya, one of the teachers of Theosophical Society founder H. P. Blavatsky.
The book is both an instructional on practical yoga in terms of spiritual exercises, a manual for basic concepts of the different internal bodies of the soul- vital, astral, and mental, and an inspirational text with recorded experiences of adepts in the internal worlds.
The Gnostic wisdom is not openly revealed as it is with the writings of Samael Aun Weor but it is clearly a book written by one with a true knowledge of the path of awakening.
Some quotes from Dayspring of Youth:
“This work is a record of instruction received during different states of Yoga practice; that sealed book opened by the aspiring student during his development into his own inner states of being. We have been permitted to reveal this in order that others, by similar practice, may develop and unfold their inner powers; for the body is a storehouse of past, present and—strange though it seems—future records.”
“Babylon was known to me. Through the rites of Ishtar you have worshipped me. Asshur heard the sound of my voice, but I remained hidden from them. Egypt unveiled my face, Greece cast her treasures at my feet and listened to my songs. Through the eyes of many lovers I have looked on you, drawing aside my veils by the magic colour and perfume and sound. The going down of the sun and the rising thereof have been but links in the chain that forged you to me; for I am He who comforted you in the pangs of birth and folded about you the sheltering wings of death. Your eternal star.”
”Guided by a light I found my way, and when I came to the place, I saw that the men were careworn and fatigues, yet buoyant with an inner strength, and on each of their foreheads shone a lambent flame. Then I knew that they were the Chain of Initiates who bear the burden of the world and I asked their blessings. And one of them bade me place my hand over his as it clasped the rope; like an electric current there vibrated through me the cruelty of man and the sorrow and suffering of humanity.”
