Master Morya once wrote to A.P. Sinnett
concerning a Radhasoami Teacher:

"[Salig Ram is] -- a truly good man -- yet a 
devotee of another error. Not his guru's voice 
-- his own. The voice of a pure, unselfish, 
earnest soul, absorbed in misguided, misdirected 
mysticism. Add to it a chronic disorder in that 
portion of the brain which responds to clear vision 
and the secret is soon told: that disorder was 
developed by forced visions; by hatha yog and 
prolonged asceticism." 

"S. Ram is the chief medium and at same time the principal magnetic 
factor, who spreads his disease by infection -- unconsciously to 
himself; who innoculates with his vision all the other disciples. 
There is one general law of vision (physical and mental or 
spiritual) but there is a qualifying special law proving that all 
vision must be determined by the quality or grade of man's spirit 
and soul, and also by the ability to translate divers qualities of 
waves of astral light into consciousness."

"There is but one general law of life, but innumerable laws qualify 
and determine the myriads of forms perceived and of sounds heard. 
There are those who are willingly and others who are unwillingly -- 
blind. Mediums belong to the former, sensitives to the latter. 
Unless regularly initiated and trained -- concerning the spiritual 
insight of things and the supposed revelations made unto man in all 
ages from Socrates down to Swedenborg . . . no self-tutored seer or 
clairaudient ever saw or heard quite correctly."
