The Teachings...

Multicolored sparks join us with the spatial consciousness. But the Fire of Cosmos cannot be manifested in full measure, for then the human essence would be reduced to ashes—except in the case of one's consecration to Fire, passing in one's own essence all the steps of approach to the element.

     Likewise in studying the foundations of life, one can give varicolored signs of the foundations, but the complete Teaching must not be, and cannot be, expounded; for the entirety of life cannot be contained in pages, and the Teaching has no intention of creating wound-up mechanical figures. Verily, no Teacher left a complete code of the Teaching. Such a completeness would contradict Infinity and would presuppose the complete limitation of the followers.

    We can indicate the direction; We can call to fly; We can affirm labor; We can indicate the light; but the ways and means should not cause slavery. The expanded consciousness will point out where karma should remain untouched. The inviolability of karma is the care of everyone who transmits the foundations of the Teaching. To burden with an excessive load is unforgivable. To overlook possibilities is unworthy.

    The Teacher directs the flow of consciousness. The pupil may not notice the touches of the Teacher. Thus everyone should enter the domain of the Teaching as into life, without deviating. But for this purpose one has to read the Teaching often, in different states of spirit. It will be a mistake to devote to the Teaching only the period of rest or of upliftment. The all-pervading Fire is the best symbol of the Teaching.
Agni Yoga, 1929 para. 468
