		Burroughs has consulted and used over twenty other translations in her annotations to this particular translation that she uses, the 1935 one by Shri Purohit Swami, and this scholarship, plus Burroughs' own personal experience, make this a valuable book for a reader of any degree of experience.
		As Burroughs notes, the Purohit translation is a good first time one, because he purposely set out to eliminate all foreign words of the Indian Sanskrit language, and uses only terms familiar to the Western, English speaking reader.
		So, where the Purohit text says (Ch 6: 23) that meditation "should be practiced with determination and with a heart which refuses to be depressed," Burroughs explains that the actual Sanskrit term is "chetas, a synonym for chitta (mind).

		Not until he met an actual Indian Swami, Shri Purohit, did Yeats finally come to understand this distinction.
		After traveling and studying with the Swami, as well as assisting him in translating the Upanishads into clear and simple English, Yeats had come to realize the superiority of mysticism over magic.
		When Yeats received the statue he said the figures in it were "prophesying perhaps the Swami and myself at Mallorca." If we read "Lapis Lazuli" as an expression of Yeats's self-idealization, then we see a profoundly different Yeats from thirty years prior.
