«Something has been said of the relation of Siddhartha the Compassionate to the Masters, according to the Suttas and more modern witnesses. A living Aryan Master speaks of the Buddha as “our great Patron”, and tells his correspondent that “when our great Buddha, the Patron of all the Adepts, reached first Nirvana on earth, he became a Planetary Spirit”, adding that from the Planetary Spirits and from the Buddha the Masters of Wisdom learn of the mysteries beyond the cosmic veil».
