"Lately the Master R. has taken the position of Mahachohan, and that achievement has carried the entering force down into the ranks of those Masters who have taken the fifth initiation thus enabling them to step down this Shamballa force to their individual Ashrams." Dicipleship in the new age II 135. 
 
"Then and only then does the disciple-initiate pass into the Ashram of the Master of his ray - one of the senior Masters in connection with the seven major Ashrams. If he is a disciple in the Ashram of a Master who is on one of the Rays of Attribute, the task of that Master is to prepare him for transition on to one of the major Rays of Aspect. This shifting and interchange is taking place all the time, when, for instance, the Master R. assumed the task of Mahachohan or Lord of Civilization, his Ashram was shifted from the seventh Ray of Ceremonial Order to the third Ray of Active Intelligence; the majority of those who have taken the second and the third initiations were transferred with him under what might be called a "special dispensation"; the rest of the members of his Ashram remained for tuition and training in service under that Master who took his place as the central point of the seventh ray Ashram."  Dicipleship in the new age II 383. 
 
"Under the Manu work the regents of the different world divisions, such as, for instance, the Master Jupiter, the oldest of the Masters now working in physical bodies for humanity, who is the regent for India, and the Master Rakoczi, who is the regent for Europe and America. It must be remembered here that though the Master R., for instance, belongs to the seventh ray, and thus comes under the department of energy of the Mahachohan, yet in Hierarchical work he may and does hold office temporarily under the Manu. These regents hold in their hands the reins of government for continents and nations, thus guiding, even if unknown, their destinies; they impress and inspire statesmen and rulers; they pour forth mental energy on governing groups, thus bringing about the desired results wherever cooperation and receptive intuition can be found amongst the thinkers." Initiation Human and Solar 46.

> Our work is with the world.

> We have the Wisdom to guide us, and the help of the great Elder Brothers

> but we offer it to others for examination. But remember this mystery: if
> you have discovered Theosophy for yourself, then, even though your lips do
> not speak, you will rouse the flame of Theosophy in others. I have said: if
> you know for yourself. Do not think of "yourself" as only this little

> necessarily all of "yourself" One way of knowing is through this brain, but
> another is through the purified heart. There are things which you can know
> with the intuition which are far more the truth for you than anything which
> anyone can ever say. You can know certain things for yourself. Do not
> think: "I have only heard, I do not know." If that is all you have made of
> your opportunities, you have accomplished but a small part.
> 
> You are in this School to discover for yourself, and if you have not
> discovered, gather now your energies, purify your character, so that the
> Godhead within you will flash out His intuitions, and you will know for
> yourselves. That is what Krishnaji is wanting the whole world to do-to
> flame in intuition. That is what the Masters ever want. Do you think that
> when They speak, They want us merely to believe? They appeal to our
> ordinary judgment. If we go to Them for advice, not a single one of Them
> ever impose His judgment. The Master meets our troubles as one who has had
> troubles himself He sympathises with us, even though He cannot lessen the
> pressure of our Karma; He reverences the Divinity in us, and causes our own
> wisdom to shine forth. Krishnaji said long ago that when in the presence of
> the Master you feel you can achieve all things. In the presence ofthe
> Master all seems clear, because it is your own Light which for the time He
> is evoking, and so you see for yourself.
> 
> If you have worked for the Society, in your Lodge, in any way of
> consecration which you have chosen, you will know that all the great truths
> are true; and as you speak about them, people also will know, they will see
> for themselves. You will not be merely quoting others, you will be speaking
> out of the recesses of your heart, and you will carry conviction to some
> one person at least. If you have lessened the burden of one brother-man who
> is suffering, be glad.
