Seleksi dari Ajaran Suci Teosofi: Isis Unveiled, Vol. I & II - Bagian ke-2 dari 2 seri

Jesus tells Nicodemus, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the spirit is spirit.” This allusion, so unintelligible in itself, is explained in the Satapatha Brâhmana. It teaches that a man striving after spiritual perfection must have three births: First: Physical from his mortal parents; Second: Spiritual, through religious sacrifice (initiation); Third: His final birth into the world of spirit－at death. “Some people are born again; evil doers go to hell; righteous people go to Heaven; those who are free from all worldly desires enter Nirvana (Eternal Bliss).”
