Quote: Sanat Kumara on Chela-ship and Being Tested

Chelas Must Be Tested

Beloved, you who call yourselves chelas must be tested. How else can we know the meaning of the word chela? A chela is one who serves his Guru.
Therefore the Guru comes with a request, any request, and so the Lord God tests the response and the responsive nature. Do not consider it unusual, then, that you should be invited to serve, and do not make the mistake of thinking that it is somehow the outer mind or the lesser self or what you imagine to be an outer mind or a lesser self of our Messenger.

Let us see, then, how each one will bring forth out of the fires of his heart the solution and the resolution of the problems of life.”
