Discipleship in the New Age II - Personal Instructions to Disciples - D.P.R.
August 1946 MY TRIED AND LOVED DISCIPLE: The last few years have been years of agony and distress for you, both physically and mentally. You have endured almost to the limit - in pain of body, in agony of anxiety, through financial stringency and its wearing uncertainty, and in the distress which comes from watching others suffer. You have stood steady, and in your steadiness, serenity and staunchness you have brought joy to my heart and strength to the Ashram. I would have you know this. You have worked off much karma, and whilst so working you have served. In you I now have a disciple upon whom - in your next life cycle - I can depend and lay responsibility, and whose service therefore can be great. Disciples are apt to forget that when they reach a point of complete dependability (because the lower self has been obliterated and no longer obstructs the vision) they lift a load off the Master's shoulders. It is your due to tell you this, for your sufferings, unselfishly endured, have earned you the right of recognition. The [656] Lighted Way stretches ahead in still greater brightness, and you can enter into the brightness with confidence and surety. This is the sumtotal of my brief word to you today; it will, I know, suffice. Take what I have said exactly as I say it and for what the words exactly mean, and know that I your Master and your friend of many lives, am satisfied. NOTE: Seventeen months later, this disciple entered "into the brightness" of the inner Ashram.
