"...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."
