In my humble opinion, the Masters can exist on many planes just as we 
do, but don't nessesarily come to someone physically when there are 
much easier modes of travel such as astrally or in some other non-
physical means. 

I'm reminded of the story of the desert nomads who had never seen the 
ocean, each one arguing what an ocean was like and getting worked up 
over it. One nomad even doubted such a large body of water could 
possibly exist.

Instead of searching for the Masters, if we were perhaps sincerely 
dedicated to the cause of Universal Brotherhood and the principles 
that the Masters are working for, we my tap into the current that 
they are working through ...and just maybe.... just maybe....we might 
meet a Master. But seeing or meeting a physical Master is not the 
goal of a true Theosophist, atleast not from my understanding.
