The following teachings were received by Helena Roerich,
a Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, mainly of El
Morya, in the 1920's and 1930's. Her dictations were published
in many books and published by the Agni Yoga Society, an organization which still exists today. Elizabeth Clare Prophet has said that if you want to know El Morya you should read "Leaves of Morya's Garden" by Helena Roerich. Also, Morya recently advised us to read her book, "Heart." Her husband, Nicholas Roerich, a "Messenger of Beauty" is an ascended master. Helena Roerich qualified for her ascension but volunteered to
return to earth.

[Paragraph #177 from The Agni Yoga Series: Volume Number One, of the three
volumes entitled "Fiery World"]:
MORYA
"Does an Arhat rest? You already know that a change of labor is rest, but
the true repose of an Arhat is his thoughts about the Beautiful. Amidst
various labors, thought about the Beautiful is the bridge and power and
stream of benevolence.
Let us weigh a thought of evil and a thought of good, and we shall prove to
ourselves that the beautiful thought is more powerful. Let us organically
analyze different thoughts, and we shall see that a beautiful thought is a
treasury of health. In beautiful thinking an Arhat beholds the ladder of
ascent. In this active thinking is the Arhat's repose.
In what else can we find another source of benevolence? Thus can we
remember when we are especially oppressed. When the shutters of selfhood
are being fastened everywhere, when fires are extinguished in the darkness,
is it not the time to reflect about the Beautiful?
We anticipate a miracle, we strive to break the lock, but the ladder of the
Arhat is only in the Beautiful. Let us not sully, let us not belittle this
path! Only thereby will we attract that which seems so miraculous. And the
miracle, is it not the indissoluble bond with Hierarchy? In this bond lies
all of physics, and mechanics, and chemistry, and the panacea for all things.
It seems possible with a little striving to move all obstacles, but the
fulfillment of this condition is immeasurably difficult for people!
Why have they clipped the wings of beauty?"
