Solitude – developing the Gift of Solitude.
Solitude – the Rose of the Soul Flourishes.
One of the primary conditions a disciple must cultivate, in order to sense the Plan and be useful for the Hierarchy & by the Master, is SOLITUDE.
In Solitude the Rose of the Soul flourishes.
In Solitude the Divine Self can speak.
In Solitude the Faculties and the Graces of the Higher Self can take Root and Blossom in the personality.

In Solitude the Master can approach and impress upon the quiescent Soul the knowledge that He seeks to impart, the lesson that must be learned, the method and plan for work that the disciple must grasp. (the disciples Purpose comes forth here).
In Solitude the SACRED SOUND is heard.

The Great Ones (Hierarchy) have to work (hard to pierce) through human instruments (personalities of individuals).

The Plan and Vision (& instructions) are much handicapped by failure on the part of these personality instruments (to not be in Solitude & not understand the value & purpose of Solitude. .
