Thoughts from The Tibetan

This ashramic sharing is one of the great compensations of discipleship. By means of it added light can be “…endured.” I would like to have you ponder on that phrase. Great united strength can be brought to the service of the Plan, and the…significance of the words: “My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure” can be grasped. The perfected strength of the Ashram (symbolised by the number 10) becomes available to the disciple whose purity of heart has enabled him to penetrate into the Ashram; his knowledge becomes more rapidly transmuted into wisdom as his mind is subjected to the play of the higher understanding of Those with Whom he is associated; gradually he begins to contribute his own quota of light and of understanding to those just entering and to those who are his equals.
