This is a necklace of pearls, and the string is the one life that runs as a golden thread through all; and the pearls are each one a life of the Exalted One, the Brother of man, the Bodhisatva. As he passes along our path of involution and evolution. He is a symbol of man`s life, progressing of falling back again, gathering diverse experience until he needs no further births. And what is this unknonw force thus symbolised? in the mineral` It sleps and stirs not, in the plants it dreams and feebly moves, and in the animal. It wakes and gans the senses bone by one, till in the man is more than man.
