Transcendentalism

It is told, in Buddhi-theosophic schools,
           There are rules,
By observing which, when mundane labor irks
       One can simulate quiescence
       By a timely evanescence
       From his Active Mortal Essence,
           (Or his Works.)

The particular procedure leaves research
           In the lurch,
But, apparently, this matter-moulded form
       Is a kind of outer plaster,
       Which a well-instructed Master
       Can remove without disaster
           When he's warm.

And to such as mourn an Indian Solar Clime
           At its prime
'Twere a thesis most immeasurably fit,
       So expansively elastic,
       And so plausibly fantastic,
       That one gets enthusiastic
           For a bit.
