Certain facts concerning these Masters, and their work in the present and in the future, may be in place here. First, the work of training their pupils and disciples to fit them to be of use in two great events, one, the  coming of the World Teacher towards the middle or close of this present century, and the other, the training of them to be of use in the founding of the new sixth subrace and in the reconstruction of the present world conditions. This being the fifth subrace of the fifth root-race, the pressure of the work on the five rays of mind which are controlled by the Mahachohan, is very great. The Masters are carrying an over heavy burden, and much of their work of teaching disciples has been delegated to initiates and advanced disciples, and certain of the Masters on the first and second rays have temporarily taken over pupils in the Mahachohan's department.
