Dans la première conférence, l'auteur fait un parallèle de la méthode objective et de la méthode subjective, des procédés d'investigation de la science moderne - observation et expérimentation, - et de l'expérience interne pratiquée par les adeptes de la Science antique. La seconde partie est une esquisse des données les plus grandioses dues à cette méthode de recherches, soit l'évolution d'un Univers.Le lien logique entre ces deux parties est l'énoncé d'un petit nombre de principes, universellement admis, dont la conclusion tend à démontrer dans la culture du Moi, dans le développement intégral des pouvoirs latents dans l'homme, en un mot la condition mème de toute compréhension réelle.Dans ce livre, Mme Besant traite de façon intelligible l'évolution en la prenant sous deux aspects distincts qui sont l'évolution de la vie et le développement des formes. De manière savante elle y dévoile les méthodes des Sciences ancienne et moderne. Vient ensuite un brillant exposé sur la Fonctions des Dieux, c'est-àdire les activités invisibles de la Nature, desquelles dépend tout le côté visible, oeuvres sous les infl uences des Anges ou Dévas, pour désigner ces Intelligences spirituelles développées. Une lecture captivante, comme quoi cette évolution renferme la promesse de la perfection fi nale et comment l'ouvrage de Dieu surpasse tout ce que nous pouvons imaginer de meilleur.

Tout en diff érant entre eux par leurs méthodes, ils aboutissent tous au même point. Tout en diff érant entre eux au point de vue des conditions extérieures, ils mènent tous au Moi unique, ils visent tous le même but.Ces trois Sentiers - les trois Mârgas, comme les appelle la philosophie indienne: celui de Karma ou de l'Action, celui de Jnâna ou de la Sagesse et celui de Bhakti ou de la Dévotion - ces trois Sentiers fi nissent par se confondre en un seul, attendu que chacun d'eux acquiert à la fin les qualités des autres, que chacun d'eux se fond, en quelque sorte, dans les deux autres, en unifi ant les caractéristiques de tous.
