H.P. Blavatsky's Last Words - Hope For The Future

by Robert Wilkinson

As many of you know, in my opinion H.P. Blavatsky was arguably the most remarkable woman to walk this Earth since Mary, mother of St. Issa. She brought the Ageless Wisdom to the Western world, and changed the future of humanity forever. Today I'll share what is said to be the last thing she ever wrote, found on her desk after her death. It is an amazing blessing for us all, and offers everyone hope that regardless of how we "succeed" or "fail," our Divine Estate is guaranteed.

"There is a road, steep and thorny, beset with perils of every kind - but yet a road; and it leads to the heart of the universe. I can tell you how to find Those who will show you the secret gateway that leads inwards only, and closes fast behind the neophyte for evermore. There is no danger that dauntless courage cannot conquer. There is no trial that spotless purity cannot pass through. There is no difficulty that strong intellect cannot surmount. For those who win onwards, there is reward past all telling; the power to bless and save humanity. For those who fail, there are other lives in which success may come."

More on this most amazing woman here at Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a.k.a HPB - One of the most remarkable Beings in history

A final thought from her Collected Writings:

"Conquered passions, like slain tigers, can no longer turn and rend you. Be hopeful, then, not despairing. With each morning's awakening try to live through the day in harmony with the Higher Self. "Try" is the battle-cry taught by the Teachers to each pupil. Naught else is expected of you. One who does his best does all that can be asked. There is a moment when even a Buddha ceases to be a sinning mortal and takes his first step toward Buddhahood. . . . It should be the aim of each and all of us to strive with all the intensity of our natures to follow and imitate [the masters]."

"Conquered passions, like slain tigers, can no longer turn and rend you..."

But the entire passage's are truly wonderful ...

Be hopeful, then, not despairing. With each morning's awakening try to live through the day in harmony with the Higher Self. "Try" is the battle-cry taught by the Teachers to each pupil. Naught else is expected of you. One who does his best does all that can be asked. There is a moment when even a Buddha ceases to be a sinning mortal and takes his first step toward Buddhahood. . . . It should be the aim of each and all of us to strive with all the intensity of our natures to follow and imitate [the masters]."

Simply beautiful .. thanks again

Love

Hi J.Sue - Glad you like what's here! Though some who visit think most "spirituality" is windbaggery, I believe HPB was and is an inspiration for the Ages, and I will not let her "last incarnation" be a "failure"(Her dying words) as long as I'm alive. Sometimes all we can do is try, Yoda's injunction notwithstanding.

Hi Elizabeth - She was.

Hi Melody - The possibility of relative perfection as humans is always there if we but try. The goal is to make this our next-to-the-last time we're ever trapped by and in the material creation. It involves utter willingness to conquer the patterns of our degraded and/or ignorant past, and dedicate our lives to the quest of BEING the Higher Self allowing the light of the Soul to come forth in its radiance. Anything less is just putting in time until we die. The process of perfection may be arduous, but it's the only game in town, and the only goal worth striving for. Even to fail is to succeed. That's why feeling unworthy or whatever is useless. EVERYTHING is grist for the mill of Soul, and even to read these words shows you're probably closer than you think.
