Master Koot Hoomi once wrote to A.P. Sinnett these
insightful words:

"I can come nearer to you, but you must draw me 
by a purified heart and a gradually developing 
will. Like the needle the adept follows his 
attractions. . . . Your strivings, perplexities 
and forebodings are equally noticed. . . . In 
the imperishable RECORD of the Masters you have 
written them all. There are registered your every 
deed and thought; for, though not a chela, . . . 
still, you have stepped within the circle of our 
work, you have crossed the mystic line which 
separates your world from ours, and now whether 
you persevere or not; whether we become later on, 
in your sight, still more living real entities or 
vanish out of your mind like so many dream 
fictions — perchance an ugly night-mare — you are 
virtually OURS. Your hidden Self has mirrored 
itself in our Akasa; your nature is — yours, your 
essence is — ours. . . . At the end of your 
apparitional birth — and whether we two meet 
face to face in our grosser rupas — you cannot 
avoid meeting us in Real Existence. . . . Your 
Karma is ours, for you imprinted it daily and 
hourly upon the pages of that book where the 
minutest particulars of the individuals stepping 
inside our circle — are preserved. . . . In thought 
and deed, by day, in soul-struggles by nights, 
you have been writing the story of your desires 
and your spiritual development. This, every one 
does who approaches us with any earnestness of 
desire to become our co-worker. . . . During the 
past few months, especially, when your weary brain 
was plunged in the torpor of sleep, your eager soul 
has often been searching after me, and the current 
of your thought been beating against my protecting 
barriers of Akàs as the lapping wavelets against a 
rocky shore. . . . Nature has linked all parts of 
her Empire together by subtle threads of magnetic 
sympathy, and, there is a mutual correlation even 
between a star and a man; thought runs swifter 
than the electric fluid, and your thought will 
find me if projected by a pure impulse. . . . 
Like the light in the sombre valley seen by the 
mountaineer from his peaks, every bright thought 
in your mind . . will sparkle and attract the 
attention of your distant friend and correspondent. 
. . . It is our law to approach every such an one 
if even there be but the feeblest glimmer of the 
true 'Tathagata' [Buddha] light within . . . ."
