The collected writings of this Sanskrit scholar and Theosophist are now available. Here is a taste from one volume of the new series of books, Hidden Wisdom vol. III, p. 492:

Quote:
So, calling to our aid the divine powers that touch our
consciousness from above, we are once more to reverse the inversion
of Buddhi; to invoke our inherent sense of Truth, that we may see
things as they really are, and may then break the fascination of things
perceived and the thrill of feeling; that we may also discern the true
character of the usurping and tyrannous personal self and invoke the
power of the God within us, and all co-operating divine powers, to
break the tyrant’s domination, so that the man may rightly worship
and render obedience to the God. We are to invoke the divine
powers of Beauty and Holiness, perpetually shining on our
consciousness from above, in order that we may be so enkindled with
the beauty of holiness, that we may be not only willing, but ardently
eager, progressively to subject the lower in us to the higher, the worse
to the better.
