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

🌻 Regard the three truths. They are equal. - 3 🌻

593. Here we have a scheme of religion that can be taught to every one. It consists of three main points of belief, simply formulated, yet very carefully expressed to guard against misunderstanding.

They might briefly be stated thus: “Man is immortal”, “God is good” and “As a man sows so shall he reap”. In this simpler form they are suitable for those who are at the stage where they must have simple dogma laid down for them. A more developed soul will want to understand it all. To him can be given the details, and there is enough in those details to occupy the minds of the wisest of men.

594. These three truths can be seen; they could be deduced from experience even if it were possible that they should be lost. Many egos know them. Some know them for themselves at first-hand, but there are many others who at present, so far at least as their personalities are concerned, are only in the position of believing. They accept them because they are told they are true by those whom they trust, and because they seem to be self-evident – because they cannot otherwise in any reasonable way account for life as they see it. That is a stage, and a very useful stage, on the way to actual knowing, but of course it is not direct knowledge.

I can say to you, for example, “I know those truths are really so, because on many planes and through many years I have made investigations and have carried out experiments which could not have resulted as they did unless these basic laws were true.” So far only a few can say “I have seen,” but all should work on towards that point, because actual knowledge gives one a far greater power than even the most definite intellectual conviction.

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

🌻 Regard the three truths. They are equal. - 2 🌻

589. The first great truth is: “The soul of man is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendour have no limit.” This great truth at once does away with all fear of bell and of the necessity of salvation, because there is absolute certainty of final attainment for every human soul, no matter how far he may seem to have strayed from the path of evolution.

590. The second great truth is: “The principle which gives life dwells in us, and without us, is undying and eternally beneficent, is not heard, or seen, or smelt, but is perceived by the man who desires perception.” That means that the world is an expression of God, that man is part of Him and can know it for himself when he is able to raise Himself to the level at which it can be revealed to him, and that all things are definitely and intelligently moving together for good.

591. The third great truth is: “Each man is his own absolute law-giver, the dispenser of glory or gloom to himself; the decreer of his life, his reward, his punishment.” Here we have a clear statement of the law of karma, the law of re-adjustment, of balance.

592. Then follow the words: “These truths, which are as great as is life itself, are as simple as the simplest mind of man. Feed the hungry with them.”

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

🌻 Regard the three truths. They are equal. - 1 🌻

586. This line is preceded by a triangle which is used as a kind of signature of Him who wrote it. It is done here to attract special attention.

587. The three truths to which the Master Hilarion refers are those which He Himself enunciated in another book which He dictated – The Idyll of the White Lotus – which has not received quite the attention which it deserves. It is an account of a previous life of His own, which He spent in Egypt when the great Egyptian religion was in its decadence and was no longer understood. Its splendid and impersonal worship had degenerated into the following of a goddess who demanded not so much perfect purity as perfect passion from her people, and so there was much corruption.

588. The Master, whose name at that time was Sensa, was a clairvoyant pupil in an Egyptian temple. The priests of the temple recognized his value as a clairvoyant and as a medium, but did not wish him to teach true religion to the people, because that would have interfered with the existent ecclesiastical system, and eventually they killed him. In the course of the story, after going through many trials he found himself surrounded by a group of Adepts, among whom was his own Master, who then told him what to teach to the people – to those who had been misled by wrong teaching.

They told him to preach broad truths only. We have the form in which the three great truths were then given. They are prefaced by the words: “There are three truths which are absolute and cannot be lost, but yet may remain silent for lack of speech.” That means they can never be lost because they are held by the Great Brotherhood, although they may not at a given time be known in the world because there is no one to speak them.

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

🌻 Therefore I say, Peace be with you, “My peace I give unto you,” can only be said by the Master to the beloved disciples who are as Himself - 2 🌻

582. There are some even among those who are ignorant of the Eastern Wisdom, to whom this can be said, and to whom it can daily be said with more completeness.

583. This is a very interesting and remarkable message, which may well seem strange to us, because there are a great many of us who do know something of the Eastern Wisdom, who pay reverence to the great Masters, who have for many years belonged to an organization specially devoted to Them and Their service, and yet to most of us the Master cannot say, “My Peace I give unto you,” but only to those very few whom He has taken into a much closer relation to Himself. That being so, we yet read that to some who do not know the Eastern Wisdom at all this inner blessing can be given.

584. How is that, and who would they be to whom such a privilege is given? They would be few only, at the present stage of evolution, but still a few there undoubtedly are. In order to understand that, let us think what it is that enables a Master to take a pupil as close to Him as that.

It is that the pupil has come into the Master’s world, has learnt to look at things as the Master looks at them, and to put himself into the Master’s attitude towards the world and all that belongs to it. A man may do that without knowing anything about the Eastern Wisdom or about the Master at all; he may yet without that knowledge be such a man as would take that high view.

The special characteristic of the Master’s attitude is that it is utterly unselfish, that the lower self does not come into it at all. He looks at everything from the standpoint of the plan of the Deity, and He never for one moment brings His own personality into the matter; if anything is helpful for human evolution it is good; if it is a hindrance to human evolution it is an evil thing.

Although the Eastern Wisdom must bring us perfectly into that attitude if we understand it quite fully, yet we can see that others ignorant of it might also reach such an attitude. To be near enough to the Master to receive His peace, utter unselfishness is the first and greatest prerequisite. One may be near the Master, one may receive His peace even, and yet of two who stand beside Him and receive it, one may receive it far more fully than the other.

The ignorant though utterly saintly and unselfish person will receive from the peace of the Master all he can receive, but the man who, equal to him in this respect, possesses in addition the higher wisdom, will receive from that peace infinitely more.

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

🌻 Therefore I say, Peace be with you, “My peace I give unto you,” can only be said by the Master to the beloved disciples who are as Himself - 1 🌻

579. Therefore I say, Peace be with you, “My peace I give unto you,” can only be said by the Master to the beloved disciples who are as Himself.

580. There is a very interesting point in regard to the distinction the Master makes here. “Peace be with you” is only an ordinary Eastern salutation, though a beautiful one. When we say “Good-bye,” which means “God be with you,” it is the same thing, for God is Peace. The Hindus have the word “shanti” which means peace, and their “namaste,” which means “greetings – or reverence – to Thee” is generally answered by the word “shanti”.

581. It is customary to write “Peace be with you” at the end of books in the East as a kind of final greeting or leave-taking from the author to the reader. But, as the Master says here, “My Peace I give unto you” can only be said under special circumstances.

He was speaking to His own special disciples only. It is said here that the disciple who can receive the peace of the Master is only that one who is as the Master Himself, that is, an accepted pupil – perhaps even more, he who is the “son” of the Master. He receives not merely a good wish for peace and blessing, which would most certainly be an effective thing when pronounced by one who had the power to pronounce it, but more than that.

The Master gives His own peace, the peace which nothing can disturb, to those who are as Himself, who are His own sons, part of His own nature, sharing with Him all that He is in so far as they are able to receive it. This does not mean, of course, that the pupil is able to share all that the Master is and has – to do that would mean that the pupil was himself an Adept – but at least he shares as much as possible.

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

🌻 But to learn is impossible until the first great battle has been won. The mind may recognize truth, but the spirit cannot receive it. - 3 🌻

576. While many people recognize that that must be so, and that of course the whole must take precedence over any part, they do sometimes feel a little that the parts are being ignored, that while everything is working for the good of the whole, yet individual parts often suffer by the way.

The world is better managed than that; actually, that which is best for the whole is also best for each one of the parts, and not only is justice done to humanity as a whole, but it is so done as to involve no injustice to any of the units of humanity. Let us be sure of that, and realize it with absolute certainty; then we shall have no feeling of doubt or dismay, and whatever happens we shall be able serenely to trust that it is being done for the best.

577. Once having passed through the storm and attained the peace, it is then always possible to learn, even though the disciple waver, hesitate, and turn aside. The Voice of the Silence, remains within him, and though he leave the Path utterly, yet one day it will resound, and rend him asunder and separate his passions from his divine possibilities. Then, with pain and desperate cries from the deserted lower self, he will return.

578. In such a case there would be indeed a terrible struggle. Let. us not submit ourselves to that; it is better, while yet we may, to keep ourselves well in hand and not make ourselves the subjects of such a surgical operation as that of the tearing apart of the higher and lower self.

The struggle with the lower self goes on all the time. If the disciple allows it to fasten its fangs into the higher and to draw him away from his greater possibilities, he must inevitably suffer terribly when the time of separation comes, as it must come, for those who have entered the stream can leave it only by reaching the further shore.

574. Then the Master goes on to speak about the knowledge which is attained by this intuition. I have already explained that at each Initiation the candidate receives a key of knowledge which puts a different complexion upon life for him, shows him a deeper depth, a fuller unfolding, as it were, of the meaning of the occult teaching.

Each time, as he receives it, it seems to the man to be final. He says: “Now I have all knowledge; this is so satisfying, so complete, it is impossible that there could be more.” There is an infinity yet to be learnt; he is only on the road of learning. As he goes on, more and more will be unfolded before him. The Master knows precisely at what stage it is most useful to give certain information.

People often think they ought to have it all at once. That is just as foolish as it would be to expect a teacher to explain the differential calculus to a child who was only just learning the multiplication table. He must go through many intervening stages before he can know even remotely what it means.

575. It is exactly so with us. We are a little apt often – again comes that intellectual conceit – to think that we know at least enough to be trusted with all possible knowledge. I can only say that They know better than we what is best for us, and whatever is best for each one is also that which is best for the whole.

573. The ego sends impressions through to the lower planes as soon as he begins to become awakened, but there are many things that stand in his way. He can do nothing until the astral body is controlled; because if it is a mass of surging emotions, how; can the ego send down through that body any coherent or rational instruction? The first great battle is with the passions, with the senses, and he must conquer them; but when that is done he has still the mind to meet, and it may be that the mind will prove a more formidable adversary even than the astral body.

570. That is a very striking example, and it does seem to show that there may be many altruistic people doing work under the direction of our Masters, although they know nothing of such direction. There may be reasons which in this life make it undesirable that they should know. We may be very sure that the Master knows best, and, if he does not choose to declare Himself, we need not therefore suppose that He is not watching.

571. In these relations the Master always does exactly what is best for the man as well as what is best for the work, because He has the enormous advantage of dealing with these things at higher levels, where one has not to balance good against evil, as in the lower planes, where very often one can do good in one direction only when one does some harm in another way.

This recondite matter was alluded to by the Manu, when He said that there was no fire without smoke. But there is fire without smoke, pure good without any adverse consequences or associations, on the higher levels, because all is working together for the good of the whole, and the advancement of the whole includes the advancement of the unit also.

Even though it may seem in some cases that harm is done, that a person is checked, it is because it is best for his progress that such a check should then come – like the pruning of a tree, which might easily be thought by the tree to be a cruel act, and yet is emphatically intended for its benefit.

569. I remember a peculiar case in India. There was an old man, an orthodox Hindu, who had been living an exceedingly good, useful, and busy life. He was a man who had shown no selfishness, and had devoted himself as far as he could to the welfare of humanity.

He had first dealt very admirably with all his family duties, and had then used all his time and money in doing good from his point of view. He had always held, before the Theosophical Society came to his notice, that the great Rishis not only must have existed in the past, but must also exist in the present, and he hoped some day to come near

Them, but was quite humble about it. He would say: “I know it is for Them to make the advance, not me. I have sought Them, and tried to carry out what must be Their will all these years.” At last, one day, one of our Masters spoke to this man, and said: “For forty years I have watched your work, and in many cases have guided you, although you knew nothing of it. Now the time has come when it is best for you that you should know it.”

568. So I would say to those who grumble at what they consider faults in disciples, and say they ought not to be chosen: “You must be taking a partial view; you are using your intellect in a line where it is not useful.

If you know of the existence of the Masters, and understand anything of Their powers, you may be very sure that They know exactly what They are doing; and if you do not see what it is, after all it is not essential that you should. They know; that is the important thing.” The recognition is not always made known at once to the disciple.

The ordinary course is that a man who has shown himself worthy of the high honour of discipleship is brought somehow into close touch with one who is already a disciple of his future Master, and the Master through that disciple usually gives some instructions to him. Probably the Master will say to the older disciple: “Bring so-and-so to me astrally one night.”

The man is brought, and then the Master says to him: I have been watching your work, and I think that you can perhaps make a further advancement. I offer you the position of a probationary pupil if you will undertake to devote all your energies, or as much as you can, to the service of humanity, in a direction which I shall indicate.”

That is the most usual procedure, but sometimes such a recognition as that comes only after a very long period. And even then there may be reasons why the man should know nothing of it in his waking consciousness.

567. That is much the wisest. It is the same with the work we are given to do. If it seems outwardly to be a failure, we should not allow that to discourage us. We may not have achieved the result that we expected,’ but we may have achieved exactly the result which the Master intended. He does not always tell us all that is in His mind.

He will set us a piece of work to do, and we think that what is to us the obvious result of that work is necessarily what He is aiming to get from it. It may be that He has in His mind quite another idea. He may even wish to train the worker in a particular way – not to be disappointed by failure, for example; or it might have reference to something else of which the worker knew nothing at all. I have had several instances of that in the course of my experience of occultism. We were told to do certain things, and supposed them to be aimed at a certain result, which did not come.

We wondered; but in after years it has been seen that something quite different would not have been attained when it was, if that work had not been done. I have no doubt at all that in that case the Master gave us the work, not with the object we supposed, but with the other object of which we knew nothing.

566. So in various ways links may be made, and it may well be that the person who is chosen as a disciple is by no means perfect, but he could not be chosen in that particular way if he were not worthy. That he has still certain faults and failings does not debar him if he has other and greater recommendations, if the advantages overbalance the disadvantages. There are many circumstances which may operate in the taking of a particular pupil by a Master.

We may be quite sure that he cannot be taken unless he deserves it, but we may not be able to see how he has deserved it. The converse of that proposition is equally certain – that no one who deserves it can fail to be observed and be taken. It is not wise to use this lower mind, which we have developed with so much pain and trouble, in criticizing the actions of the Masters, who know far more than we.

We may not always be able to understand why They do this or that, but those who follow Them should at least so far trust Them as to say: “I know the Master must be right. I do not see plainly why. As far as I am concerned I know that I shall be taken when I am ready. My business is to make myself fit for it. In the meantime, I have no concern with what the Master does with regard to other people.”

565. Sometimes there are special links between egos which many lives later culminate in the close relationship of Master and pupil. There is the well-known case of our late Vice-President, Mr. Sinnett. Long ago he was a powerful nobleman in Egypt. His father had built and endowed a great temple; therefore he had a vast amount of influence, and was practically the controlling power of that temple. One of those who are now our Masters was a prisoner of war in Egypt at the time, and Mr. Sinnett and I were soliders in the army which captured Him.

He was a person of distinction in His own country, and consequently He was assigned to our care, because captives of high rank were very well treated in Egypt, and were entertained by people of rank corresponding with their own, so long as they did not try to escape. So He lived in the house of Mr. Sinnett for two years, and in the course of that time became keenly interested in the occult work of the Temple, and wished to take part in it.

Mr. Sinnett was able to give Him the desired introduction to occult study. He made the most astonishing progress in it, and in every life thereafter He continued the studies begun in ancient Khem. In a later life He became an Adept, while His benefactor of Egypt had by no means reached that level.

When in this incarnation He found that He wanted to spread Theosophical truths in the world, because the time was come when the world was ripe to receive them, He looked round for someone to do it, and saw His old friend and benefactor as the editor of a great daily newspaper, and well qualified to do this very piece of work. He discharged this old debt by giving him that opportunity.

We know how well and nobly he took it. That shows that one may have made a link far away in the past with one who has since become an Adept, and that His discharge of the debt naturally takes the form of giving help and information, and of drawing the man close to Him.
