Art, Symbol & Imagination
Vague Religious Feeling and Self-Renunciation
A loose blue cloud occupies one panel, while a pale blue bud-like form fills the other. In Figures 14 and 16, Besant and Leadbeater contrast Vague Religious Feeling with Self-Renunciation. The images belong to the book’s claimed clairvoyant account of devotion and spiritual attitude.
