Teachers and Their Disciples

About this book

Who deserves to be called a teacher, and what does it mean to follow one? The seventh Point Loma Theosophical Manual examines the obligations of a disciple, from personal honesty and self-discipline to the difficult business of judging spiritual authority.

Published in the series edited by Katherine Tingley, Teachers and Their Disciples belongs to the educational programme of the early Theosophical movement in California. It treats instruction as a relationship that should change conduct, with service and moral development occupying an important place. The small volume also reveals how seriously these communities took the roles of master, pupil and school.
