Friendships
Another fact of the greatest importance is that we are
brought by karma in touch with people whom we have known in the past, to some
of whom we owe debts, some of whom owe debts to us. No man treads his long
pilgrimage alone, and the egos to whom he is linked by many ties in a common
past come from all parts of the
world to surround him in the present. We have known
some one in the past who has gone ahead of us in evolution; perchance we then did
him some service, and a karmic tie was formed. In the present, that tie draws
us within the orbit of his activity, and we receive from outside us a new
impulse of force, a power, not
our own, impelling us to listen and to obey.
Many of such helpful karmic links have we seen within
the Theosophical Society. Long, long ago, He who is the Master K.H. was taken
prisoner in a battle with an Egyptian army, and was generously befriended and
sheltered by an Egyptian of
high rank. Thousands of years later, help is needed
for the nascent Theosophical Society, and the Master, looking over India for
one to aid in this great work, sees His old friend of the Egyptian and other
lives, now Mr. A.P. Sinnett, editing the leading Anglo-Indian newspaper, The
Pioneer. Mr. Sinnett goes, as usual, to Simla; Mme Blavatsky goes up thither,
to form the link; Mr. Sinnett is drawn within the immediate influence of the
Master, receives instruction from Him, and becomes the author of The Occult
World and of Esoteric Buddhism, carrying to thousands the message of Theosophy.
Such rights we win by help given in the past, the right to help in higher ways
and with further reaching effects, while we ourselves are also helped by the
tightening of ancient links of friendship won by service, royally recompensed
by that priceless gift of knowledge, gained by one and shed abroad for many.
