Dear Friends,


Consider what Robert Crosbie wrote: 


 --- If we dimly grasp the nature of Masters, we will be able to 
reverence Them in our hearts, and to endeavour to draw near to Them 
in our innermost being; nor we will be deceived by claims made by, 
or for, this or that person, nor take it for granted that books 
written with the purpose of defining Masters' powers, place, or 
imagined individual characteristics, have any value whatever. All 
such are mere speculations and an attempt in fact to drag those 
great Beings down to our plane of terrestrial conceptions—"a misuse 
of sacred names," as H.P.B. wrote in the The Key to Theosophy. 
Masters are facts in Nature, facts, however, which our highest 
ideals will not fully encompass. Let us therefore endow Them with 
the highest we can conceive of, try to assimilate that "highest" 
within ourselves, endeavour to draw near to Them in our heart of 
hearts, and thus form for ourselves that line of communication which 
They have said They are always ready to help establish; and let us 
keep that ideal as a sacred thing in the repository of our hearts, 
not to be lightly thought of nor spoken of, but as a shrine of our 
highest aspirations, safely guarded from all intrusion, sacred and 
secret. Thus and thus only, may we in time come to know Them face to 
face.

—Robert Crosbie
