An extract from the Tibetan teacher, written in 1934 briefly
explains the intent of these teachings: “The books that I have
written are sent out with no claim for their acceptance. They may, or may not,
be correct, true and useful. It is for you to ascertain their truth by right
practice and by the exercise of the intuition. Neither I nor A.A.B. is the
least interested in having them acclaimed as inspired writing, or in having
anyone speak of them (with bated breath) as being the work of one of the
masters. If they present truth in such a way that it follows sequentially upon
that already offered in the world teachings, if the information given raises
the aspiration and the will‑to‑serve from the plane of the emotions to that of
the mind (the plane whereon the Masters can be found) then they will have
served their purpose. If the teaching conveyed calls forth a response from the
illumined mind of the worker in the world, and brings a flashing forth of the
intuition, then let that teaching be accepted. But not otherwise. If the
statements meet with eventual corroboration, or are deemed true under the test
of the Law of Correspondences, then that is well and good. But should this not
be so, let not the student accept what is said.”
