Discipleship in the New Age II - Talks to Disciples - Group Instruction
One suggestion I will make: There are six questions, providing one question, therefore, for consideration each two months during the coming year. Give two months to careful consideration, reflection and interior investigation and then, at the end of the second month, formulate your reply. Question 1 From a study of the instructions given by me on your five conditioning rays and from a study of yourself in connection with the information given: Which of your five conditioning rays controls you or which is the most dominant? Which ray should control you and how can you strengthen that control? The answering of this question will require a truthful consideration of your good and bad qualities, of your assets as well as your limitations. Question 2 Looking back over the years of instruction, do you feel that you have definitely advanced upon the Path? If so, upon what grounds do you base this belief? Could you have made more progress under the circumstances and if you have not, what was the reason or reasons? Question 3 In what do you personally feel that your work in the future should consist in the following three relations: With your personality, in its particular circumstances and environment, so as to make your daily life more spiritually effective? In order to establish a closer contact with your soul, with the same objective of effective spiritual living? In order to bring about soul and personality at-one-ment and clearly demonstrate the fact. What do you regard as the present [99] greatest hindrance to this accomplishment? Question 4 Are you satisfied with the relationship you have established with your group brothers? Do you know them better and love them more than you earlier did? This means all of them, as a group. Along what lines do you feel that you have failed them, if you have, and what do you propose to do to rectify the situation? In what way do you feel that you have been an asset to the group? These four questions concern largely your ability to live as a soul in your little outer world and have reference primarily to your objective expression. The next two questions concern your subjective relationships. Question 5 What is your attitude towards your Master, Djwhal Khul, as a result of years of training under his instruction? Can you sense my vibration at any time? How do you know the difference between my vibration, that of your own soul or the group? What effect has the work of the full moon had upon you? Have there been any results of that attempted contact and, if so, what are they? What should now govern your efforts in relation to your work as my disciple during the coming remainder of your life? Question 6 What part in my plans and in the task assigned to my Ashram are you prepared to take? This question concerns both your outer and your inner work of a practical nature. [100] Have you any definite schedule of work outlined in your mind as your contribution to the activity of my Ashram? If so, what is it and how do you propose to implement it and make it effective? What is the main task of the Ashram at this time? Do you know the type of assistance - subjective or objective or both - that you could give? This last question goes deeply into your ability to react to impression from me and from the Ashram. I would have you answer it, to the best of your ability, from that angle. Pass on, my disciples, into a closer relation to the Ashram of which I am the focal point; aim at a closer rapport with your fellow-workers and with me. I am the director of your work. That this relationship may prove the signal achievement of the coming year for each and all of you is my earnest wish.
