"...I tell you plainly you are unfit to learn, for your mind is too full...."

Master K.H. once wrote to A.O. Hume:

"....I tell you plainly you are unfit to learn, 
for your mind is too full and there is not a 
corner vacant from whence a previous occupant 
would not arise, to struggle with and drive away 
the newcomer....I...give you time to reflect and 
deduce and first learn well what was already 
given you before you seize on something else....
Learn first our laws and educate your perceptions, 
dear Brother. Control your involuntary powers 
and develop in the right direction your will 
and you will become a teacher instead of a 
learner. I would not refuse what I have a 
right to teach. Only I had to study for fifteen 
years before I came to the doctrines of cycles 
and had to learn simpler things at first."
