MY FRIEND OF OLD:

Forget not, any of you, that for senior disciples upon the Path (and such am I) , it is relatively as unpleasant from the vibratory angle to contact you or spend some time within the radius of your aura as it would be for you to enter the sleeping room of those of soiled environment and persons. Disciples are apt to forget this. The way for all of us is the way of sacrifice. Your aura is much clearer and the impediments to contact are twenty per cent. less. For this, I can and do commend you and, in commending, urge you to proceed with the task of purification and cleansing. I ask this for the sake of your own soul and for that of your fellow disciples. There is real need for this group to work as a group... but this will only be possible when unity of purpose, steadiness of rhythm and purity of the united auras of united auras have been achieved. See to it, my friend, that you continue to do your share.

All I seek to do today for you is to speak this word of commendation and to give you certain words and phrases upon which you should meditate until I again communicate with you. I am hoping that after the Full Moon of May (the Wesak Festival) I may be able to change your work so that you can begin the next meditation. This will depend upon the adequacy of the preparation done until the Full Moon of May. It will also depend upon whether you and L. T. S-K. can free yourselves from glamor - you from the glamor of the personal self and he from the glamor of his own thought-forms. The words and phrases which I have chosen for the theme of your meditation are as follows:
