THE GREAT INVOCATION

Here is a great invocation, given out to the world, by Master Djwhal Khul, under the instruction from the Christ.

"From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out,
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

 Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth."

Here is what Master Djwhal Khul says about this great invocation:

Some time ago I gave out to the world – under instruction from the Christ – an Invocation that is destined to become of major usefulness in bringing about certain great events. These are:

1. An outpouring of love and light upon mankind, from Shamballa.

2. An invocatory appeal to the Christ, the Head of the Hierarchy, to reappear.

3. The establishing on earth of the divine Plan, to be accomplished willingly by humanity itself.

Incidentally, these three events are relatively near, and will be brought about by a conscious working out of the immediate phase of the Plan, which it is the divine intention to bring about to a certain extent, before the reappearance of the Christ. The establishing of right human relations, is the immediate task, and is that phase of the Plan of Love and Light to which humanity can most easily respond, and for which they are already evidencing a sense of responsibility.

Little attention has been paid to the factor of invocation as expressed by the people of the world; yet down the ages the in vocative cry of humanity has risen to the Hierarchy, and brought response. . . .

Now the Great Invocation, as used by the Hierarchy itself, has been given out to the world. So reactionary is human thinking, that the claim made by [Page 142] me, that it is one of the greatest of the world's prayers, and is on a par with the other voiced expressions of spiritual desire and intention, will evoke criticism. That is of no importance . . .

The uniqueness connected with the Invocation, consists in the fact that it is, in reality, a great method of integration. It links the Father, the Christ and humanity in one great relationship. . . . The Great Invocation relates the will of the Father (or of Shamballa), the love of the Hierarchy, and the service of Humanity, into one great Triangle of Energies; this triangle will have two major results: the "sealing of the door where evil dwells", and the working out through the Power of God, let loose on earth through the Invocation, of the Plan of Love and Light . . .

When we invoke the Mind of God and say: "Let Light stream forth into the minds of men, let light descend on Earth", we are voicing one of the great needs of humanity, and – if invocation and prayer mean anything at all – the answer is certain and sure. When we find present in all people at all times, in every age and in every situation, the urge to voice an appeal to the unseen spiritual Centre, there is a fixed surety that such a Centre exists. Invocation is as old as the hills, or as old as humanity itself; therefore no other argument for its usefulness or its potency is required.

The usual invocative appeal has hitherto been selfish in its nature, and temporary in its formulation. Men have prayed for themselves; they have invoked divine help for those they love; they have given a material interpretation to their basic needs. The Invocation, lately given to us by the Hierarchy, is a world prayer; it has no personal appeal or temporal invocative urge; it expresses humanity's need and pierces through all the difficulties, doubts and questionings – straight to the Mind and the Heart of the One in Whom we live and move and have our being – the One Who will stay with us until the end of time itself, and "until the last weary pilgrim has found his way home".

But the Invocation is not vague and nebulous. It voices the basic needs of mankind today – the need for light and love, for understanding of the divine will, and for the end of evil. It says triumphantly: "Let light descend on earth; may Christ return to earth; let purpose guide the little wills of men; let the Plan seal the door where evil dwells". It then sums it all up in the clarion words: "Let light and love and power restore the Plan on Earth". Always the emphasis is laid upon the place of appearance and of manifestation: the Earth.

Already this Invocation is doing much to change world affairs – far more than may appear to your eyes. Much remains to be done. I would ask all [Page 143]students, all men of Goodwill, and all who are participating in the work of the Triangles, and helping to build the network of light and goodwill, to do all that is possible to spread the use of the Invocation . . .

The Invocation has been sent out by the combined Ashrams of the Masters and by the entire Hierarchy; it is used by its Members with constancy, exactitude and power. It will serve to integrate the two great centres: the Hierarchy and Humanity, and to relate them both in a new and dynamic manner to the "centre where the Will of God is known".

I ask you, therefore, during the coming years, to prepare, to use, and to distribute the Invocation, and make it a major endeavour. (18 – 755/9).

Master DJWHAL KHUL

I came to know about this great Master: "DJWHAL KHUL" (Master DK), from the speeches of Master Ekkirala Krishnamacharya garu.

The writings of Master Djwhal Khul are very inspiring and enlightening. He has dictated His writings on various topics, telepathically, to Alice Bailey.

The following extract is from a book titled "Ponder on this" which is a compilation of extracts from various books of Master Djwhal Khul:


--------------------------

Master DJWHAL KHUL

(1) The Master Djwhal Khul, or the Master D.K. as He is frequently called, is another adept on the second Ray of Love-Wisdom. He is the latest of the adepts taking initiation, having taken the fifth initiation in 1875, and is therefore occupying the same body in which He took the initiation, most of the other Masters having taken the fifth initiation whilst occupying earlier vehicles. His body is not a young one, and He is a Tibetan. He is very devoted to the Master K.H. and occupies a little house not far distant from the larger one of the Master, and from His willingness to serve, and to do anything that has to be done, He has been called "the Messenger of the Masters". He is profoundly learned, and knows more about the rays and planetary Hierarchies of the solar system than anyone else in the ranks of the Masters. He works with those who heal, and cooperates unknown and unseen with the seekers after truth in the world's great laboratories, with all who definitely aim at the healing and solacing of the world, and with the great philanthropic world movements, such as the Red Cross. He occupies himself with various pupils of different Masters who can profit by His instruction, and within the last ten years has relieved both the Master M. and the Master K.H. of a good deal of Their teaching work, taking over from Them for certain stated times some of Their pupils and disciples. He works largely, too, with certain groups of the devas of the ethers, who are the healing devas, and who thus collaborate with Him in the work of healing some of the physical ills of humanity. He it was who dictated a large part of that momentous book, The Secret Doctrine, and Who showed to H.P. Blavatsky many of the pictures, and gave her much of the data that is to be found in her book. (1 - 57/8).

(2) He Who is known as D.K. is planning to restore - via His students -some of the old and occult methods of healing and to demonstrate:

a. The place of the etheric body.

b. The effect of pranic force.

c. The opening up of etheric vision. (3 - 759).

(3) My province in relation to the group is to give needed assistance to those who seek to fit themselves for active work as disciples . . . Suffice it that I am an Oriental, ... I am on the Teaching Ray, and closely associated with the Master K.H., . . . part of my work is the steady search for aspirants of strong heart, fervent devotion and trained minds. (4 - 128/9).

[Page 259]

(4) He Whom you call the Master D.K. works much with those who heal with pure altruism; He occupies Himself with those who are active in the laboratories of the world . . . Many of the healing angels, such as those referred to in the Bible, co-operate with Him. (13 - 506/7).

(5) The daily physical life of the Masters, of the Christ, and of those Members of the Hierarchy (initiates and accepted disciples) Who function in physical bodies, has had its orientation upon the subjective levels of life; the majority of Them, and particularly the senior Members of the Hierarchy, do not as a rule intermingle largely with the public, or walk the streets of our great cities. They work as I do from my retreat in the Himalayas, and from where I have influenced and helped far more people than I could possibly have reached, had I walked daily in the midst of the noise and chaos of human affairs. I lead a normal and, I believe useful life as the senior executive in a large lamasery, but my main work has lain elsewhere - widespread in the world of men; I reach this vast number of human beings through the medium of the books which I have written, through the groups which I have started and impulsed, such as Men of Goodwill and the Triangles, and through my disciples who talk and spread the truth as I have tried to present it. (13 - 682).

(6) On November 19th, 1919, I made my first contact with A.A.B. (much to her distress and dismay), and I have worked steadily with her ever since. The books which I then planned have been well-nigh finished; the various phases of the work which were a part of the preparation for the reappearance of the Christ, have taken form and should go forward with gathering momentum during the next twenty years.

The two major ideas which it was my task to bring to the attention of humanity everywhere throughout the world, have been securely anchored (if I may be permitted to use such a term), and these constitute by far the most important aspect of the work which I have done. These formulated ideas are:

1. The announcement of the existence (hitherto unrecognised) of the New Group of World Servers. This is an effective group of workers, intermediate between Humanity and the Spiritual Hierarchy of the planet.

2. The Statement, sent out lately, in connection with the Reappearance of the Christ, and for the immediate consolidation of the work of preparation.

All else that I have done in the service of the Hierarchy, is of secondary importance to these two statements of spiritual fact. . . Other work awaits me under the reorganisation of all the hierarchical efforts incident to the [Page 260] reappearance of the Christ, and the closer relationship which will then be established between humanity and the Hierarchy. (13 - 631/2).

(7) The production of the outer form on earth, through the medium of books, of esoteric schools, and the educating of the public opinion, has been committed to a group of us, who form a part of the inner world government - disciples and initiates - and to this group, I play the part of secretary and of organising contact man - if I may use words which will mean something to your ears . . . This group to which I refer, is composed of two oriental initiates (of which I am one) and of five occidental initiates. (5 - 33)

(8) I am an Oriental of the fourth root race, and although I have had two European incarnations, I still at times fail to grasp or understand the Occidental reaction. (6 - 473).

(9) I receive my instructions from a "joint committee" of the spiritual leaders behind the world scene; They are the senior members of the Hierarchy, working under the Christ. They arrive at Their decisions after due consultation with senior workers, such as myself - Masters and initiates above the third initiation. (6 - 501).
