[London Lectures of 1907 by Annie Besant]@TWC D-Link bookLondon Lectures of 1907 PART I 69/96
Many such men and women, in East and West, have come back with joy to the religion in which they were born, in realising that it is only an expression of the one divine WISDOM, and that the Masters of the WISDOM live and move amongst us. And it may be that if the world grows more spiritual, it may be that if Spirit again becomes triumphant over matter, after passing through the darkness which was necessary in order that the intellect might be thoroughly developed and might learn its powers and its limitations; it may be that, in days to come, when the world is more spiritualised than to-day, climbing as it is again the upward arc, these living Masters of the world's religions will come amongst us again visibly as in the earlier days.
It is not They who keep back in silence.
It is we who shut Them out, and make Their presence a danger rather than an encouragement and an inspiration.
And every one of you--no matter what your faith may be, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Theosophist, what matters it ?--every one of you who makes the Master of your own faith a living reality, part of your life, nearer than friend and brother, every such believer and worker is hastening the day of joy when the world shall be ready for the open reception of the Masters, that They may move visibly amongst humanity once more.
That it may be so, open your heart to every breath of truth; that it may be so, open your eyes to every ray from the one eternal Sun.
