Disciples
Disciples are of four types. Some follow the indications of the Teacher and ascend in lawful order. Others, behind the Teacher’s back, overstress the indications and thereby often harm themselves. Others, in the Teacher’s absence, take occasion to prattle and thereby destroy their way. Others, behind the corner, condemn the Teacher and betray Him. Fearful is the destiny of the latter. (AY, 105)
Many persons claim to be disciples of the Mahatmas. But, the number of true disciples is very limited. Once a Great Teacher was asked whether he had many close disciples, and he answered, “Less than the number of fingers on one hand.”
