I have been taught by the Masters of Wisdom who inspire and watch over the teachings of B.O.T.A., that one of the great problems which many well-meaning aspirants have is in mistaking their own desire to be needed for the need existing in another. Where these negative attachments exist between individuals there is usually an attempt to force upon the other, one's own concept of helpfulness.
True love seeks ever to revere and protect the freedom of other human souls.
It gives of itself with discrimination and does not try to force itself upon another. It disciplines with mercy, yet does not expose itself to the mass-mind prejudices. It fights injustice where Wisdom dictates and protects the helpless in such ways as to develop self-sufficiency. Beloved brother and sister of B.O.T.A., continue to study that which lies hidden deep in the heart of subconsciousness. Discover the despotism of the old habit patterns and find your Inner Freedom.
