the Master...

"In the Beyond state, time, space and the whole world of phenomena are
non-existent.

Only in the phenomenal
world of duality is there space, time or operation of the law of cause and
effect.

"When the Master works in the sphere of duality for the upliftment of humanity,
his work becomes subject to the
laws of time, space and causality.

From the point of view of external work, at
times he appears to be limited,
though in reality he is all the time experiencing the oneness and infinity of
the Beyond-state.

Though he himself is
beyond time, when he works for those who are in duality, time counts.

"The Master's universal work for humanity, in general, goes on without break
through the higher bodies.

When he works for the members of his Circle, his
action follows a timing which he himself fixes with utmost carefulness, for it
has to be a precise and definite intervention in the mechanical working out of
their sanskaras.

He works for the Circle at fixed times.

Therefore those who in
following the instructions received from the Master abide by the time given by
him, have the benefit of his special working."
