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

🌻 Regard the three truths. They are equal. - 7 🌻

600. Remember the sayings of the Masters, which is often not well understood, about casting pearls before swine. This is often taken quite wrongly as a comparison of the people to swine. That was surely not in the mind of the great Master. He simply meant that to give the inner truths to people who have not yet the knowledge to enable them to appreciate them would be as foolish as to cast pearls before swine.

They would probably rush forward expecting to receive something to eat, and finding that the pearls were not edible, they would trample them in the mire, and then turn and rend the giver of the pearls because they had been disappointed in their expectation of food. The pearls would be of no use to them, however valuable they might be to us.

That is generally the attitude of ordinary people, when we put before them truths which are not comprehensible to them. They do not see their value; they cast them aside, and are usually angry with us for giving them something which they regard as useless.

601. It has always been recognized that only simple truths can be given to the great mass of men, who are as yet not highly evolved. All great religions have had some special truth which they strongly inculcated, and if any of these truths be taken in its entirety it will be found that it covers most of the ground.

It is very necessary that certain ideas should be implanted in the minds of the evolving human egos, so they pass through religion after religion, race after race, learning something from each.
