He said I should wait
patiently if I wanted to become an accepted Chela; that many were those
who offered themselves as candidates, but that only a very few were
found worthy; none were rejected, but all of them tried, and most found
to fail signally, as for example---and---. Some, instead of being
accepted and pledged this year, were now thrown off for a year. The
Mahatma, I found, speaks very little English--or at least it so seemed
to me--and spoke to me in my mother-tongue--Tamil. He told me that if
the Chohan permitted Madame Blavatsky to visit Parijong next year, then
I could come with her. The Bengali Theosophists who followed the
"Upasika" (Madame Blavatsky) would see that she was right in trying to
dissuade them from following her now. I asked the blessed Mahatma
whether I could tell what I saw and heard to others. He replied in the
affirmative, and that moreover I would do well to write to you and
describe all.
I must impress upon your mind the whole situation, and ask you to keep
well in view that what I saw was not the mere "appearance" only, the
astral body of the Mahatma, as we saw him at Bombay, but the living man,
in his own physical body.
