A Commentary On ‘Light On The Path’ by Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater

Description

'A Commentary On “Light On The Path”' is a book by Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, first published in 1947. Based on a series of talks given in Adyar, London, and Sydney, the authors offer a lucid, esoteric exposition of Mabel Collins’ 1885 guide for spiritual aspirants. The work distils the symbolic precepts of 'Light on the Path’ — a concise, mystical manual — into practical reflections on spiritual discipline, inner purification, and the seeker’s path toward self-mastery. Both Besant and Leadbeater were prominent figures in the Theosophical Society. Their commentary connects Collins’ enigmatic maxims to broader Eastern and Western esoteric traditions—drawing on Theosophical ideas of occult wisdom, clairvoyant insight, and Eastern mysticism. The work speaks to disciples seeking guidance on moral and spiritual development, and has long been regarded as an essential companion to the classic ‘Light on the Path’ . It reflects a traditional but questioning outlook: faithful to the text yet probing deeper into its symbolic terrain.
