Blessed Children on the Path: 

The chelas who have found the Path are those who have elected within themselves to leave the slow evolution of the masses and strike up across the face of the mountain in their search for Truth. For a period they seem to travel alone and often regret the hardihood that prompted their separation from the seeming safety and irresponsible company of the throngs. But sooner or later they encounter wayfarers inspired by the same urge, and for safety the pilgrims form themselves into groups, eventually joining other caravans intent on the same upward journey. 

The Path to Mastery is steep. The magic part of this Path is that each one ascends in consciousness first and then the magnetic pull of the awakened consciousness raises the physical vehicle. You might liken it to mountain climbers who proceed with the aid of a guide. The guide goes first, then reaches back from his firmly established standpoint and raises the flesh body of the aspirant. Thus dear ones, your consciousness proceeds before you and, by the law of magnetic attraction, draws the flesh body to the greater heights. That is why the expansion of consciousness is the first concern of each wayfarer. Oftentimes it is a superhuman effort to draw the flesh body to the greater heights with the constant pull and clamor of outer living that take the attention. 

It may comfort you to know, beloved children, that the travelers on the Path are never entirely alone. Countless Angels hover ceaselessly about them, many obstacles which would prove almost impassable to tired feet; giving courage and inspiration at critical moments when faced with sudden crises. The higher the wayfarer goes on the climb, the rarer grows the atmosphere, and the Mount of Attainment is no exception to this rule. For this reason you have been given the knowledge of the Fires of Purification, the use of which renders the inner bodies lighter and removes much of the karma. You also have the added advantage of the protection, care and instruction of those who have long since reached the summit and are now engaging their energies in helping their "younger brothers" attain the longed for goal. 

As the Presence of the Master is only able to reach the lifestream through the medium of silent prompting within the feeling nature, or in brilliant flashes of illumination through the medium of the Higher Mental Body, it is imperative that the chela cultivate silence in the outer nature to permit these promptings to record with sufficient intensity the guiding activity of the daily living. Beloved ones, practice the habit of listening to the Voice within, instead of the clamorous outer chaos. The voice of the presence has few enough facets through which to guide and protect the destiny of the many in the future, and the momentum of balance must be gained ahead by the chosen shepherds for these hours and days. 

I might repeat dear ones the pathway leading to mastery is the Path of Surrender; yes, of all things, and persons, that might be obstacles in this Attainment. The chela, in peace and gentleness and one-pointedness must step upon the Path alone. As Jesus intimated the people of the Kingdom of Heaven are our friends - All others are but phantoms that engage our attention and keep us from going through the gateway to the Kingdom. 

Beloved children, let me assure you that this seemingly steep and narrow pathway leads to ultimate freedom, leads to peace, contentment and service unto all. Few there are of outer thought and emotion who find it. 

My love and gratitude, dear fellow travelers on this sacred Path, enfold you each moment of its way.

Love and Blessings,

THE MAHA CHOHAN
