EL MORYA
Tibetan Master of the First Ray - Blue. Connected to
the Throat Chakra. Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White
Brotherhood. He is connected to the Temple of Will Of God.
El Morya was embodied as Abraham, the ancient patriarch who emerged from Ur of the Chaldees to become the prototype and progenitor of the twelve tribes of Israel. Returning as Melchior, one of the three wise men of the East, he followed the star that portended the birth of the best of his seed who would fulfill all the promises of God unto his spiritual descendants. As Arthur, king of the Britons, he summoned knights of the Round Table and ladies of the court of Camelot to quest the Holy Grail and to attain through initiation the inner mysteries of Christ. Appearing again on Britain's soil as Thomas Becket as well as Thomas More, both martyred, he twice played the role of defender of the Faith and challenger of King Henry--also twice born (Henry II and VIII), and twice the oppressor. In the sixteenth century, his soul's journey took him to the East in the person of Akbar, greatest of Mogul emperors, and in the nineteenth to Ireland to be her poet laureate Thomas Moore. Next he appeared as El Morya Khan, perhaps the most renowned of the Tibetan mahatmas. Paradoxically, little biographical information of a traditional nature is available about El Morya Khan. It is known that he was born a Rajput prince in the Indian class of warriors and rulers esteemed for their courage and honor. The date of his birth is uncertain.
What makes the life of El Morya so notable is his far-reaching work in the merging of the ancient spiritual truths of the East with the traditions of the West. This was accomplished largely through the founding of the Theosophical Society in the latter part of the last century and the subsequent instruction released through that organization by the Master Morya and his longtime friend, the Master Koot Hoomi Lal Singh. This instruction came in part in the form of personal letters addressed to but a handful of Theosophical students, chelas of the "Mahatma of the Himavat." These letters are now on file with the British Museum in London.
Found also within the society's literature are occasional awe-filled testimonies of the few Theosophists that were visited by this Himalayan adept who, for the most part, preferred to remain unidentified by the outer world. The writings of these disciples reveal that many strove for even the slightest contact with El Morya.
In 1898, El Morya Khan ascended to the heart of God.

In that which is the sign of the Heart, the Head and the Hand, I greet you. May you be that which is the love and the will made manifest upon your plane. I am Morya that speaks. I am Morya that comes into your midst, that I would share with you a portion.
I am Morya that is the keeper of that which is known to you as the first ray, that which is the power and the will of the Divine Principle, the Creator Source. I am that one who is tutored, who is guided by the Lord Mikaal. I have walked of your plane. Of many embodiments have I been upon your plane. For it is [that] I did not ascend and loose the earthly bonds as quickly as some others. But I have achieved that station where I do no longer have need of an embodiment upon your plane in order to fulfill my portion. I recognize many of those that you would call the frailties of physical embodiment. I have stumbled just as you have stumbled, and I have grown beyond those stumbles. And I have wept just as you weep. And I have asked that my tears be dried and removed from me. I have felt the love of my fellow man, and I have known the love of my Creator.
And I listen now as you mew and you whine and you declare your various states which you're in. And as each of you do this, I recognize that I too have passed through that particular state that you are expressing.
I would speak this night of a subject that is most dear to our dear ones, for I would speak of that which is service and I would speak of that which is servitude. For you of your plane have great difficulty in distinguishing the difference.
What is service? Service is to evolve, to achieve your highest state of evolvement in one particular embodiment. And as you would achieve your highest state, you would by your own act assist others in achieving theirs. It is not an ego trip and it is not that I centered, but it is a continuous state of looking within, of realizing who you are and where you are and what you are trying to do. Service is the most expedient manner of evolution. Servitude is the slowest. And yet you do not recognize the difference. To serve of your brother is to assist him in achieving his highest potential. To serve of mankind is to recognize them in an unencumbered manner, that you allow each one that makes up the composite of mankind to be their own totality without placing limits or restrictions upon them. To serve of mankind brings forth no karmic debt. To serve of your brothers leaves you not accountable for their actions.
And you would say to me: "But good master, this is what I do." And I would say to you, my chelas, this is what you do not do. For each of you as you would serve of your brothers enters a state of servitude. Your brother has a weakness. In some cases it might be a physical weakness, it might be a mental weakness, an emotional weakness. Your brother has an area that has not a strength. So what do you do, my beloved chelas? You jump in headlong to assist this one in this area. I would say to you, your brother is without a limb and he has difficulty walking, so what would you do? You would pick him up and you would carry him and deny him his experience. You would deny him of the right of accomplishment. You would deny him his own individualism, his own ability to work through and with this particular condition.
Recognize that all conditions that you are in as you enter embodiment, you have chosen to be, in that you would learn specific lessons, that you would balance certain areas of your evolution or you would grow. Or shall I say, so that you may grow. So what have you accomplished for your brother who has not a limb and has difficulty walking? As you have carried him, you have entered a state of servitude, for you have convinced him and you have convinced yourself that he cannot be mobile without your assistance. So what happens? He is indebted to you. And know [that] as you are indebted it must be balanced. And as he is indebted to you, then lo, what happens within your heart?
Initially you did not recognize what you had done. You did not recognize the amount of servitude that was required of you as you would carry your brother about. And so what happens? There is a small anger that festers within you because this takes so much of your time and does not allow you your own evolution. And this small anger grows into a great festering boil until it erupts. And you have stacked up a healthy slate of karmic debt. For that which you have initially done in love, which you said was compassion, in truth was pity. And it has turned into something which is not love, but has turned into an obligation that is done with resentment, and a bit of chafing as would continue of this practice. Others of your plane are great , are most wonderful in creating situations where they can be put into servitude. And still others are most willing to put them into this state.
There is a karmic balance here that must be balanced. And if you cannot balance that in this particular embodiment, then so it is that each of you should embody again, that you would have opportunity to balance that which you have created. Is that what you would wish to do? Is that what you would wish? No, you say to me, no. Then I would say to you, carefully look at that which you do. Is this to assist another along their path, to assist them in their evolution? Is this allowing them their own freedom of choice? Is this letting them be the individual and the totality that they are? Or are you creeping in the corners and the crevices, that you freely would offer advice? For it is everyone knows your advice is better than their! Or that you would cripple another? Yes, this is what you do. As you would force your will upon another, you cripple them. You stifle them. You choke them. For you do not let them be free. You rob them of their choice. Now, this is done, we understand, with the greatest of intentions. And yet the intention is what would cause your confusion. May I suggest to you that you stop and look and examine what you do and why you do it. Each act!
Those of you who have small ones entrusted to your care, do you smother them? Do you allow them their freedom to make their own mistakes, to make their own choice? And yet do you hold them accountable for that which is your expectation of the small one? You should, you know! For they have been entrusted to you. They have been entrusted in your care, and you have responsibility for them. And those of you who have friends, have families, have loved ones who call you and plead with you and take up much of your time, have you created this servitude? Have you created this, that they are so dependent on you that they cannot survive without you? For you have placed yourself in servitude. And you say to me, "But good master, this I did not intend." And I say to you, well and good. Serve of your brother. Serve of your brother! Serve with your brother, that you both may evolve along your paths. Deny your brother nothing that would assist him in his evolution, but deny of your brother all that would make him dependent upon you.
Did not the one known to you as the master Jesus create in ones no servitude, but he created in them a love of mankind and a desire to serve of all mankind. For as the one who was made blind could see, so it is that he could share in greater abundance with his brother. And it is that the one who could walk who had been lame no longer needed to depend upon another for his movement. He asked of no man to worship him. Indeed, he loudly proclaimed there was but One to worship, and that is the Lord God Most High. He came in love for all mankind. And he would assist all ones as they would walk their path, but the choice was theirs how they would walk that path.
This is an area that has had difficulty in your ecclesiastical evolution. For that which has been called your churches, your religions, have sought to limit ones to a particular mode of evolvement. Oh yes, within your country ones are free to choose which religion they would follow, but nonetheless, when one is chosen then you are given specific guidelines that you would follow in order to evolve. Who is to say that is the pattern for all mankind? That which is the pattern for one is not the pattern for another.
You with husbands, you with wife mates, look closely at your relationships of equality? What binds you together? Are you bound by duty, by obligation? Are you bound by the fact that you have raised children or you have brought ones into embodiment? Could it not be that perhaps that portion for your evolution is finished so that you would go forth to grow in other areas? You of your planet, you of your embodiment, have difficulty with your man-woman relationships.
There are times, there are periods within your cycle in which you thank one for that which they have given to you and that which you have shared. But you each must recognize that to continue the relationship is to heap a karmic debt upon each of you. For you are not allowing the other to grow. You are not allowing the other their choice. And to remain in a relationship because of duty and obligation is to open the book in which karma is written. And some of you who partake of this word may look at your relationship with your husbandman or your wife mate, and you might analyze it quite closely. And as you would analyze it, perhaps you would see that there is a love, there is a sharing, there is a growth and evolvement in the relationship that had been so involved in an emotional upheaval.
We have spoken of the change that is being evidenced in its beginning upon your planet. This is not a time of servitude. For those of you who would be bound in servitude shall find yourselves removed to balance the karmic debt in another place. Those of you who would walk in service shall inherit a great and a beautiful day, for you shall be the ones to walk of a new Earth. You shall be the ones to bring forth the new day. Make no mistake of these words I would share with you, but recognize there is a difference. Serve of your brother, that you would allow him to be. And as you would allow your brother to be, so are you allowed to be. Create no bondage for yourself or for another. For to be bonded is to be tied and bound so that you have been denied your freedom.
At this point in your cycle upon your planet, look at what you do and examine your motive for doing it. For two of you may present yourselves to do the same task, and yet the motives would be entirely different. Ponder well of this. Search deep within you for your reasons, for your motivation. And as you would search, what do you find? Those of you who continuously find yourselves bound with leg irons and chains in servitude to another, is this your choice? Do you do this willingly? Is this what you want of this embodiment? And those of you who would so easily bind your brothers, would you be as one accountable for this brother who serves of you? Why have you given up your being to this one? Why have you allowed another to come in and deny you your freedom? And why would you be as one to deny another?
There are ones upon your plane who are quite satisfied with letting their brothers do their assignments. Yes, their assignments -that which they agreed to do when they had come in. As you would willingly step in and you would do for these ones, you have denied them their growth. You have denied them their opportunity to balance their own slates, their own record. And you have heaped that which is known to you as karma upon your back. It is most difficult for you to understand the difference. It is most difficult for you to recognize that to bow to another is to place them as a master. And thus then you have placed upon them the responsibility for your debts. And the karma, the law, the universal law which is brought into effect must be balanced. If you cannot balance it in this embodiment, then you shall have to embody together again, that it might be balanced. Earth man has difficulty in recognizing and allowing another to be. As your current jargon would put it, you have difficulty allowing another their own space, just as you have difficulty accepting your own.
Be! Love of all mankind. Serve of all ones freely and unselfishly. Allow your brother to be. For as you each would evolve along your path, so it is that you would willingly assist another, but the choice is theirs if they would take of your assistance. That is the difference between service and servitude. Create servitude with no man, but serve of all men. This lesson comes no easy to ones of planet Earth. This lesson is one that is most difficult for man to understand, for he has associated servitude with service. Look at the ones who have been called saints by your churches. Most ones have set themselves in bondage for and to their fellow man. And yet you would praise these ones and exalt them. Exalt no man who is bonded by another. For these ones you would call saints do work past this state as they would minister with you upon your plane from another.
I offer this lesson for your consideration, that you might grow in your own understanding. I would desire to impose no thing upon you, but may each of you glean from this that which you need so that you might evolve to your highest potential.
I am Morya. I take my leave of you.
