Concerning H.P.Blavatsky's special position in 
relation to the Masters, the following 
quotes from letters of the Mahatmas K.H. 
and M. indicate her unique status:

"[H.P.B. is] a woman of most exceptional and 
wonderful endowments. Combined with them 
she had strong personal defects, but just 
as she was, there was no second to her living 
fit for this work. We sent her to America
. . . . " The Mahatma Letters, 2nd edition, 
Letter 45.    

"... imperfect as may be our visible agent — 
and often most unsatisfactory and imperfect 
she is — yet she is the best available at 
present. . . . " The Mahatma Letters, 2nd 
edition, Letter 2.   

"This state of hers is [H.P.B.'s] intimately 
connected with her occult training in Tibet, 
and due to her being sent out alone into the 
world to gradually prepare the way for others. 
After nearly a century of fruitless search, our 
chiefs had to avail themselves of the only 
opportunity to send out a European body. . . . "   
The Mahatma Letters, 2nd edition, Letter 26.   


". . . we employ agents — the best available. Of these for the
past thirty years the chief has been the personality known as H.P.B. 
to the world (but otherwise to us). Imperfect and very troublesome, 
no doubt, she proves to some, nevertheless, there is no likelihood 
of our finding a better one for years to come — and your
theosophists should be made to understand it. Since 1885 I have not 
written, nor caused to be written save thro' her agency, direct
and remote, a letter or line to anybody in Europe or America, nor 
communicated orally with, or thro' any third party. Theosophists 
should learn it. You will understand later the significance of this 
declaration so keep it in mind. Her fidelity to our work being 
constant, and her sufferings having come upon her thro' it,
neither I nor either of my Brother associates will desert or 
supplant her. . . . This you must tell to all: — With occult
matters she has everything to do. . . . She is our direct 
agent. . . . "  
Letters from the Masters of Wisdom, Series 1, Letter 19.
