Nevertheless, the inner
man ever remains alone, even when associated with those who are
spiritually close to him. As a rule this assumed body will resemble the human form which the adept occupied during His last initiation, although He is perfectly free to adopt any form which may suit His purpose.
The position is of course quite different where co-workers meet and where there is unity of thought; here spiritual matters will be understood and may therefore be freely discussed. No, it is the harmlessness which arises from a soul-infused
personality and a consequent true understanding of the fellow man's
problems.
His dietary choices, including vegetarianism and fasting, reflected his spiritual beliefs and commitment to non-violence, further cementing his role as a moral leader. Joy in the recognition of inner strength leads to the tackling of tasks which previously seemed insuperable, and ensures their successful accomplishment. Returning to India in 1891 after his studies, he faced challenges as a lawyer, including a humiliating experience in court that accelerated his journey toward civil rights advocacy.
This period was transformative for Gandhi, as he began to embrace values aligned with Jainism and Hinduism, including non-violence and simplicity. She often accompanied him during his travels and demonstrations, sharing his burden and supporting his visions for social reform and justice in India.
Together, they had four surviving sons, each instrumental in shaping Gandhi’s perspectives on fatherhood and family life.
If such teaching is of the required quality
and correctly interpreted, then it should have a stabilizing effect on the
aspirant, by being acceptable to his reason and mind.
What it amounts to is that on the one hand the disciple should avoid the
tendency to crystallize, as this will restrict further unfoldment, but on
the other hand he should be very careful to avoid all forms of
fanaticism which can only cause harm.
Adhere to the way of integration, which is of the soul and not of the mind.
Excerpted from Alice Bailey's
"Esoteric Psychology II" p. This is one of the most potent forces in the
world today and will demonstrate in daily living as right motive,
goodwill, discriminative judging, reticence in speech, ability to refrain
from impulsive action, and the manifestation of an uncritical spirit.
Their relationship was marked by mutual respect, with Kasturba actively participating in Gandhi's campaigns for civil rights and independence.
3.Relinquish the pride of mind which sees its way and it's interpretations to be correct and true, and other' false and wrong. It is only the soul that can thus uphold the personality in
its needed poise, in a world of stress, strain and catastrophe.
Sense of humour
This attribute might well have been included under the previous
heading, because a fine sense of humour must substantially subscribe
to the retention of balance and stability.
A qualification must immediately be made, however, and that is that a
clear differentiation should be drawn between emotional, unrestrained
hilarity, or spurious merriment, which is of an astral nature, as
compared to a harmonized sense of humour which springs from a well
considered sense of proportion.
Students should therefore cultivate a sense of humour and proportion
by not taking themselves and their work too seriously -- in this way
unnecessary tensions may be prevented or released, resulting in clearer
discrimination and more effective work.
Solitude
Man forms part of the greater Whole of humanity, and with regard to
his work and service it is stressed over and over again that he should
find the group to which he belongs, as he should work in close
collaboration with the other group members.
It will enable him to become a purer channel for the transfer of hierarchical concepts, and to better clothe the inspired ideals with thought-matter to make it more readily recognizable to those still moving in the everyday world of men. Throughout his life, he earned a modest income primarily through his legal career, particularly during his early years in South Africa where he established a successful legal practice.
"Esoteric sense" is not a generally known expression, but is a useful term to denote the power which is gradually unfolding in every disciple endeavouring to live and function on subjective levels; it denotes that inner contact and at-one-ment with the soul, which is manifested in the outer life as goodwill and loving understanding; it is expressed as wisdom in daily decisions; it becomes apparent in the capacity of synthesis and of identification with all that breathes.
This iconic march became a powerful symbol of resistance and drew international attention to India's plight. Among these are: Of Life and other worlds; Prophecies; Ponder on this; Serving Humanity; The Soul; The Quality of Life; and he is also the author of Bridges which is a Commentary on these teachings.

There are three rules which are important to disciples at this time...
1.
It will furnish the disciple with greater discrimination, and will accentuate his sensitivity to impression, and will thus mould him into a more efficient instrument in the hands of the Masters and in service of the Plan. Although the Masters have reached a stage of spiritual development far beyond that of man and, comparatively speaking, have achieved perfection, they should none the less not be considered infallible as they, at their own level, are also engaged in the never ending process of evolution.
Those occasional Masters who for purposes of service are temporarily functioning in a physical body do not avail themselves of an emotional body, since they have complete conscious control over their feelings and emotions.
