156. The rhythm of truth is an invincible stronghold. It is not a pile of words but a rhythmic sound, that carries decisive significance. Why try to conquer with words when the lightning bolts of rhythm can drive away the most harmful beings? Of what use is it to compose lengthy letters when thought pierces consciousness instantly?
(V. Vasnetsov: Sergius of Radonezh)

417. Each spirit creates its own karma, each nation builds its own karma. Certainly nations are looking for a leader because even an established prestige cannot sustain those people who think erroneously. Neither gold nor vulgar, glamorous names nor piles of inapplicable counsels will save a nation. Verily the fiery thought, the fiery spirit of the leader will provide new ways. Therefore let the star of the spiritual leader shine brightly at the time of cosmic perturbations. Thus let the great realm of light rise upon the ruins of the old world. -M: Hierarchy 1931

175. Is not the greatest harm inflicted by monotony which penetrates into all human strata? The Law is One but its vibrations are as varied as the universe is multifarious. Those who know this Law cannot regard the whole of humanity as a pile of homogeneous stones which resound to different vibrations. One must rejoice at this multiformity, for precisely it gives the path to refinement. What would become of the human heart if it reverberated to only one note? Hence let all leaders remember about multiformity and diversity.
325. Of course one should not permit such contradictory confusions, for it is distinctly unscientific to throw everything into one pile merely in order not to distress the brain with deliberation. -M: Heart 1932

499. Hearing about motion and mobility people turn into restless runners. But can bustle be fitting for higher manifestations? Similarly people do not distinguish outer from inner movement, yet such a distinction is quite essential; it saves one from bustle which unavoidably leads to falsehood. -M: Brotherhood 1937

By their striving on the way, by their excellence in self-discipline and by the grace of Christ they are the overcomers. Having not been found wanting in any thing they have entered into eternal communion with the fount of reality through the ritual of the ascension. To ascend into the plane of reality as they have done you must garner within your soul the thrust of power, wisdom and love. To transcend planes of consciousness, to make the giant leap into the arms of God, this requires thrust. Therefore from the wellspring of Life, out of the fount of living flame which Almighty God has anchored within your heart draw forth the thrust of faith, hope and charity.
Whether Christian or Jew, Moslem or Zen Buddhist or none of these know, O seeker after higher reality that the path of initiation can be trod wherever you are. But you must take the first step. My responsibility is to guide and guard: yours is to follow. With full faculties of mind and heart and soul you chart the course of your life. If you desire, the grid of Hierarchy and of initiation through Hierarchy can be superimposed upon your chart. If you have not the desire for initiation, if there be no longing to replace the old man with the new, if there be no desiring for freedom, then you cannot magnetize the molecules of our momentum on the path nor will you magnetize the mind of the Great Initiator who provides not only the testing but the wherewithal to pass the tests.
Hierarchy comes forth to reveal truth to the age. We gather together the atoms of self-determination. The new year is the open door for initiation. Our call is to the many who have come of age, who are ready to be received by their own Christ-identity. For the dispensation has gone forth from the Lords of Karma that a million souls presently evolving on this planet--a certain million whose evolutionary time has come--might be given a more than ordinary assistance on the path of life. These will feel the emanations of our word. These will know the presence of the ascended masters. Though yet unseen that presence will be clearly marked by divine direction and by inspiration leading to solutions to current world problems....
These are they who throughout the ages, in every walk of life, both within and without the Church, have chosen the bands of his will. These have banded together to define the laws of science, mathematics and the geometry of the soul; these have pursued culture, education, the arts and music out of the desiring to merge with the Laws of cosmos that are the will of every man’s being.
Let all who perceive the need to nourish the flame of consciousness prepare to work with the Mother of the Flame and the Darjeeling Masters for the enlightenment of the race through discipline of self. I AM a mentor of the Spirit,

Chelas of East and West:
The thoughtform for the year 1975 released by the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha, on New Year’s Eve is a lodestone of the mind of God--“a multifaceted jewel focusing the flame of the mind of God, a gem that is not of this world; nor does it bear resemblance to the crystals of this plane. In the center of the jewel is that flame of the mind of God....This jewel is anchored in the etheric plane of the planet at the retreat at Shamballa. And the fire of God’s mind focused therein will be for the quickening of the consciousness of mankind in the way of truth and the restoration of balance, of vision infusing the mind with that love that enables life to impart a gnosis of the Logos.”
The seven holy Kumaras, Lords of Flame from Venus, are the sponsors of mankind’s mental development. Over the thousands of years of Earth’s history they have come forward at certain auspicious moments to raise the energies of consciousness, to accelerate the action of the Christ mind, to polarize mankind’s energies in the upper chakras. Thus the anchoring (in all who will make the call) of the jewel replica of the mind of God at the etheric level between the pineal and the pituitary glands is for the activation of the flame of the Logos to further enhance the initiations of a planet and a people on the path of hierarchy.
Just as there are many would-be chelas in the world so there are many who could be chelas who know nothing of the path or of chelaship. There are still others who, for lack of outer contact with our representatives, walk the earth as chelas yet know not that they are as chelas nor that they have our guidance on the path. What then is chelaship? Chela is a term meaning student or disciple of a religious teacher. It is derived from the Hindi cela which is taken from the Sanskrit ceta, meaning slave. In the Eastern tradition of chelaship, recognized for thousands of years as the way of self-mastery and enlightenment, one desiring to have the mysteries of universal Law imparted to him applies to the Teacher, known as the Guru, considered to be a master (through the ages the real Gurus have included both ascended and unascended masters) to serve that Teacher until he is found worthy to receive the keys to his own inner reality.
The great yogi Milarepa endured many hardships on the path, including the unlearning of the false teachings of the dark ones who imparted to him a knowledge of the manipulation of energy. Thus he had to overcome the practice of black magic and to balance the karma of his misdeeds whereby he had wreaked vengeance upon his neighbors who had deprived him of his patrimony, first causing the death of many and then a hailstorm which destroyed their fields of barley ripe for the harvest. When he finally earned the right to be the chela of a true master his pride had been broken and in humility he walked the way of attainment. In the Eastern tradition the chela is the slave of his master for a good reason--not for the loss of his true identity but for the replacement of the pseudo-image with the real image of Selfhood.
