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. - 5 🌻

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.”
