Anand and others
Hello.
A question
Why are the Masters always characterized as male and not as a female creature too?
Arenīt there women who have reached their enlightenment in History of spirituality or the masculine gender has always hush it up?


The Church has always considered Mary of Magdalen a whore, and throughout many apocriph gospels we deduce she was one of Jesus dearest disciples and one of the first iniciated women recorded in written history , besides the goddesses in India, of course.

" THERE has been among Theosophical students a great deal of vagueness and uncertainty about the Masters, so perhaps it may help us to realize how natural Their lives are, and how there is an ordinary physical side to them,if I say a few words about the daily life and appearance of some of Them. There is no one physical characteristic by which an Adept can be infalliblydistinguished from other men, but He always appears impressive, noble, dignified, holy and serene, and anyone meeting Him could hardly fail to recognize that he was in the presence of a remarkable man. He is the strong but silent man, speaking only when He has a definite object in view, to encourage, to help or to warn, yet He is wonderfully benevolent and full of a keen sense of humour-- humour always of a kindly order, used never to wound, butalways to lighten the troubles of life. The Master Morya once said that itis impossible to make progress on the occult Path without a sense of humour, and certainly all the Adepts whom I have seen have possessed that qualification. 
48. Most of Them are distinctly fine-looking men; Their physical bodies are practicallyperfect, for They live in complete obedience to the laws of health, and above all They never worry about anything. All Their evil karma has long beenexhausted, and thus the physical body is as perfect an expression of the Augoeides or glorified body of the ego as the limitations of the physical plane will allow, so that not only is the present body of an Adept usually splendidly handsome, but also new body that He may take in a subsequent incarnation is likely to be an almost exact reproduction of the old one, allowing for racial and family differences, because there is nothing to modify it.This freedom from karma gives Them, when for any reason They choose to take new bodies, entire liberty to select a birth in any country or race that may be convenient for the work that They have to do, and thus the nationality of the particular bodies which They happen to be wearing at any given time is not of primary importance.
