This has been quoted before, I think more than once, on theos-talk and
theos-l. If we keep this in mind, it will lead all of us to have an open
mind and be receptive to some unexpected understanding of life.
In the final analysis, it is our lives and our progressive or sudden
illumination that we may be subject of. personalities and organizations,
IMHO take a back seat and may even become totally irrelevant.

common mistake of people that we willingly wrap ourselves and our
powers in mystery — that we wish to keep our knowledge to ourselves,
and of our own will refuse — "wantonly and deliberately" to
communicate it. The truth is that till the neophyte attains to the
condition necessary for that degree of Illumination to which, and for
which, he is entitled and fitted, most if not all of the Secrets are
incommunicable. The receptivity must be equal to the desire to
instruct. The illumination must come from within." (MAHATMA LETTERS
