I think HPB was pestered much more than what she has disclosed. One wonders
the level of pestering that would result if any Adept's whereabouts is
known. His/her phone will be ringing off the hook all the time!!!!

I think that if we do our duty in helping the Humanity in any way we can,
unselfishly, we will get what we deserve, nothing more and nothing less. If
any of the Adepts can find that we can be of use in any endeavor of helping
Humanity, surely we will be made use of whether we are aware of it or not.
