CHAPTER 11 - Master Hilarion’s note on Rule 21.

🌻 When the disciple is ready to learn, then he is accepted, acknowledged, recognized. It must be so, for he has lit his lamp, and it cannot be hidden. - 3 🌻

563. In exactly the same way, if people think themselves better in various ways than others who are selected by the Masters as pupils, they should remember that the Master makes His selections with unerring judgment.

There are no doubt many things on higher planes which even a Master does not yet know, but quite certainly with regard to all these lower planes with which we have anything to do, His knowledge may be accepted as infallible. There are higher Adepts who stand above the Masters, such as the Manu and the Bodhisattva, the Buddha and the great Lord of the World, who must know certain things which even our Masters do not know: that is clear.

The Logos of the solar system must know still more, and beyond that there must be higher Logoi who have yet wider knowledge. But we may be quite sure of the Master’s judgment and accuracy with regard to these planes which He has fully and finally mastered. Therefore, if He chooses a man He is not making a mistake.

564. Even in the rare case when a man afterwards falls away and acts unworthily it does not follow that the Master made a mistake in selecting such a man. The man must have had the right to that splendid opportunity, and because he had earned that right the opportunity had to be given him.

A vast amount of trouble may have been taken in the training of such a pupil, and it looks as though it were wasted; but that is not so. It will all count somewhere, somehow, in the course of his evolution; that is certain.

The Master sometimes offers an opportunity to a man because he has earned it, although there may be in that man along with certain good qualities others less desirable, which would make him unsuitable if they happened to get the upper hand. Nevertheless the offer is made because it is just that it should be made.
