“In common with many, you blame us for our great secrecy. Yet we know something of human nature for the experience of long centuries — aye, ages — has taught us. And, we know, that so long as science has anything to learn, and a shadow of religious dogmatism lingers in the hearts of the multitudes, the world’s prejudices have to be conquered step by step, not at a rush.” (K.H. In T. Baker, editor. The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett, L. 1, p. 3; emphasis added)
