ADDRESS BY THE BELOVED MAHA CHOHAN
Havana, Cuba, January 24,
1954
Beloved Children of Light, seeking more Light:
I am come this morning in answer to the magnetic pull of love from your hearts,
your sincere devotion to and faith in the Spiritual Hierarchy.
The Law of the great Universe is that we must answer your call with our
Presence. The Great Hierarchy has waited for centuries for an invitation from
the sons of men in order to give of our counsel, our radiation, our blessing and
our love. Courtesy does not allow us to intrude unless invited. This
invitation does not come from your lips, but from your hearts. When that heart
prayer has risen in a constant, unbroken series of invocations which build a
momentum at inner levels, back on the ray of your own light and life come the
blessing and the actual Presence of the Brotherhood. There is no "happenstance"
in relation to the gifts of the Brotherhood.
May I introduce myself to you in my capacity as Holy Comforter to the Earth and
its people?
I know you well, my children! At the time of your birth, it was I who breathed
the first breath of life into your nostrils. I stood at the side of your mother
and conferred the gift of life through the breath which ensured your physical
incarnation for a time. When your lifespan is finished, I will, myself, take
your last breath into my heart.
Do you not see, then, how vitally interested I am in what you do with your life
and your breath? It is a gift from my Presence unto you!
The Seven Great Chohans who serve under me counsel often with me at my Retreat
in
Ceylon, India, and all of you belong to the Ray represented by one or another of
these seven shining sons of Heaven.
When we came to the decision that the Masters were again to bring their words to
the people of Earth and endeavor to reach the outer intellectual consciousness
of men, Beloved Lord Maitreya, Beloved Morya and I conferred together to devise
a plan whereby certain chelas on the Earth plane might assist us. My children,
how is it possible to work with men if we cannot speak with them and counsel
with them?
Mankind has forfeited the connection with the Master's Kingdom and it has been
required that a "Bridge" be formed from our octave to yours in order that we
might convey to you the activities of the
Brotherhood while they are in progress.
We are real, living, breathing Beings.
We are engaged in activities primarily concerned with the freeing of mankind
from the snare of the senses. Each one of us, at the moment of our Ascension,
renounced Nirvana
and enrolled consciously in the Court of Sanat
Kumara, offering to remain as the Guardian Brothers to the evolutions of Earth
until every man, woman and child and all life belonging to this evolution is
God-free.
We are prisoners of love and our endeavors to help mankind depend upon the
voluntary energies released by the incarnated spirits. If it can be arranged for
our chelas to know
what we are doing-while we are doing
it then they, like ourselves, work
consciously
to the same common end.
The occult and metaphysical teachings up to this hour have only permitted the
students upon the Path to
look backwards
to admire the achievements of individuals for the most part long since dead and
to hope that sometime in the future some experience might light their own dark
path. Even the orthodox religions have promised a golden future in the "sweet
bye and bye."
A momentary reflection will show that man cannot live in
the past nor in the future, but must live and serve and evolve
IN THE NOW.
Because of the current requirements of the hour, because the Lords of Karma have
released Sanat Kumara from further obligations of supplying the light for the
planet, it was required that we secure a means of reaching those of you who wish
to cooperate with us today.
The seven Chohans brought the chelas working under them before us and from among
them
you were chosen to receive the first impetus of this
Endeavor.
You represent those seven Chohans... you are the
select and favored few
that they individually felt could best serve
them even as you yourselves would choose for your fellow-workers the individuals
whom you felt had an affinity to your Cause and who, through trials, had proved
their loyalty, their worth and their fidelity. The measure of the Chohans,
however, was not limited to the outer senses. Each one looked over the
lifestreams of their chelas through many, many embodiments and studied how they
reacted through stress, through strain, through trial, because climbing straight
up the side of the Mount or Attainment requires endurance, balance and
sensitivity to Truth and the capacity to stand in the face of ridicule...
knowing that
LAW IS LAW
IRREFUTABLE
and that he who serves the Master looks for no
reward other than the
opportunity for greater and greater
service.
From among the chelas chosen you, my Friends, were blessed by the Lord Maitreya
and by myself. It is now your joyous privilege and opportunity to blend your
energies with ours in providing the Light for the world-first, from within your
own sweet hearts and then through radiation and instruction, kindling the
spiritual fires within the souls of all men everywhere.
Through my Body and consciousness pass the energies used by
mankind and through my consciousness passes the life of the Chohans as well. We
know from experience the beauty and love within each of the electrons that flows
from your Presence into your hearts.
"We
know that within each electron is the power of God Himself. We stand in constant
reverence before the gift of life and it is my responsibility to see that the
life of the Chohans is invested wisely for several reasons.
First, because they are my Beloved Sons and Fellow-Workers. I am their Father in
a spiritual sense of the word and I know that if they take their life essence
and give it to you, they must stand before the Lords of Karma and prove that
you have done with that life some good
service; in other words, that their investment has been wisely made.
If the world and the evolution of which you are a member has not been benefited
by their Presence and by their service; by their counsel; by their specific and
detailed interest in you. If, because of love and mercy they would invest in you
the energies of their lives and their time and you show no individual spiritual
progress nor impersonal service to life in return, they would have to make up
that energy invested in you in some cosmic service. Then,
because of my love for you
I would not care to have the unpleasant karma due to lethargy and omission of
service fall upon
your
shoulders should said Visitation and love and mercy be taken merely as an
amusement for your consciousness rather than a stimulus to render service in our
Cause.
Therefore, as each one of you stood before me with your Sponsor, I examined your
possible service to life and, before conferring on the Chohan the privilege of
reaching you, I made pretty certain within myself that you loved life, and that,
if the Chohan would give to you his energy, the partnership would be beneficial
to both my sons and yourselves. I prayed to the God of all life that the closer
connection between Guru and chela would result in a shining pattern of light and
service which the Chohan could present to the Lords of Karma in your name.
It is not easy to refuse one of those shining Sons of Heaven when he asks for a
dispensation to reach a heart-friend in human form, for he is prompted by love
and zeal and enthusiasm. Yet I have had to do this many time, lest the gift of
life be lost and the unascended one create karma through indifference or
spiritual lethargy.
In this day, we come and I give to you, as do the other
Masters, my life. This gift you cannot properly evaluate in the unascended
state, for you do not see our life woven into the creation of planets, in the
direction of Cosmic Rays that affect galaxies. Therefore, you do not understand
what the investment of an hour of our energy means, and it is just as well, for
the responsibility would weigh heavily on your innocent souls.
However, our words carry a radiation and our Presence acts
upon your souls' light as the sun acts upon the nature growth. The result of
each such communion between our realm and yours is a harvest of light, the
awakening of more and more of the souls of men. That is our purpose... our
intent, in such visitations.
There is always so much to say and yet so little time in
which to say it. If I leave with you this morning the realization that the
present endeavor which has engaged our energies is to create a Bridge of Light
by which we may reach your outer minds
in an instant
and secure your cooperation in collective groups
when there might be world or planetary crises, I feel I shall have accomplished
something.
