Any man who will may attract Their attention, but he can do it only by showing himself worthy of Their notice.
None need fear that his efforts will pass unnoticed; such oversight is impossible, for the man who is devoting himself to service such as this, stands out from the rest of humanity like a great flame in a dark night.
A few of these great Adepts, who are thus working for the good of the world, are willing to take as apprentices those who have resolved to devote themselves utterly to the service of mankind; such Adepts are called Masters. One of these apprentices was Helena Petrovna Blavatsky--a great soul who was sent out to offer knowledge to the world.
With Colonel Henry Steel Olcott she founded The Theosophical Society for the spread of this knowledge which she had to give.
Among those who came into contact with her in those early days was Mr.A.P.Sinnett, the editor of _The Pioneer_, and his keen intellect at once grasped the magnitude and the importance of the teaching which she put before him.
