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. - 6 🌻

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.
