Written work
The Masters
A small book on the Masters of the Wisdom, central figures of Theosophy: who they are according to Theosophical doctrine, how they reached their state, what relation they keep with humanity and how a disciple may approach them. It sums up in a few pages a belief that lay at the centre of her spiritual life.
