Recently Roerich movement is accompanied by various scandals, judicial processes, intrigues and gossips, especially in post-soviet area. It is natural, that each participant of these battles only praises the own point of view and is ready to assert it "till the last gasp", using words of Agni Yoga as the weapon. But in Agni Yoga it is told, that the darkness will come and, being covered with the Teaching, will begin to make the dirty affairs. This letter is not a white stone or a black one to put in a bowl of scales for any opponent's benefit. This is a reference to souls, to people without advantage of a nationality, creed or a residence. For if to adapt words from the Bible for the situation, it is possible to tell, that not everyone who shouts at corners: "Roerich! Roerich!" will enter in Kingdom of God.

Why must one assimilate the Bible's bookmen and Pharisees which do not enter into the Fiery World themselves, as have lost keys from the Gates, and do not let thirsty ones to do?! But many so-called followers become those. We shall only consider some keys which are often being lost.

The first and basic point is following - Agni Yoga is the finest and complete, for current epoch, manual for the disciples wishing to purify themselves, ignite naturally energetic centers and become co-workers of the Great Hierarchy of the White Brotherhood, gradually mastering Fire, the highest element. Almost everyone knows this theoretically; many speak about this; and SO FEW people really aspire to this ! For the majority a distribution and reading books of the Teaching, lecturing and propagation the information of its ideas by means of the Internet, conferences, congresses and other external work is Agni Yoga practise in itself (?!); but in fact all these are only food for mind, so people who simply swallow the information without applying it in the life become erudites and intellectuals, i.e. black magicians. Whether Agni Yoga does not warn of this?

Many, in general, are panically frightened all internal, novel and energetic and accuse their brothers and sisters of forbidden practice. All this is really fair, when we speak about the lower psychism, ignorance of mediumism and any types of contacting such as channeling, etc. And to those who speak, that all this is correct, but is feasible only at the certain level of consciousness, such as …! it is possible to answer with words of the Living Ethics: "Truly, the conscious pupil dares to approach the Teacher in imitation." (Signs of Agni Yoga, §13). The Mother of Agni Yoga, Helena Roerich, during all her life showed to mankind the Path to self-improvement for people to aspire to pass it instead they to worship blindly. Otherwise for whom this great victim has been accomplished?!

Other point of the question is the attempt to divide the Teaching by its own followers. Not only Agni Yoga, the Roerichs, through whom it has been given and also everyone who anyhow is connected to it are being found fault and offended by ignorants from religion, science, etc., so now those studying Living Ethics themselves discredit it in every possible way. Today many "warriors" are swinging sabers high above their heads, lifting flags, and attack everything and everyone, ostensibly in protection of the Teaching and the Heritage. But the Teacher and the Teaching are being estimated on disciples! And in our case all the world judges Yoga of Fire on Roerich's followers among which practically there are not just disciples.

All this gives to darkness an extra occasion for attacks and, unfortunately, averts those who could and would like to touch the Teaching, but seeing everything is happening among its followers leaves on doubtful paths of magic, spiritism and contacting. What a power of egoism and arrogance should be at people which are not capable for the sake of the Most sacred, for the sake of that they name the Teaching and those whom they call "their" Teachers, to postpone all squabbles, all dirty which only spoils themselves (the Heaven cannot be offended), to reconcile and to search of things in common for having united to become more strongly and to carry out precepts of the Teaching better!

Now the "scorpions in bank" condition results everything, that incorrectly name "Roerich movement", to that the world frequently received half-centuries later after leaving Teachers from the physical plane, and a vivid example of that today is the Christianity - the hundreds of thousand intolerant to each other sects which study the same Bible (!) and their number constantly continues to grow.

Now speech does not concern any concrete group or the organization. Everywhere it is possible to find people light, dark and grey - the last are the majority. The question is examined in general. While the Roerichs (whose name today so improvidently dishonored "by defenders of the Teaching and the Heritage") the whole life conducted various external activity with the only purpose - an enlightenment and illumination of mankind, using SYNTHESIS (!!!) of purificated and integrated beliefs and doctrines, religions of philosophies and sciences, those who proclaim themselves continuers of the Affair, doing a disservice, aspire it put to differentiate in every possible way , divide, break and on fragments of the Temple to build private cottages and pyramids glorifying their owners. "Hasten! The most loyal ones will get the best plots!"

Brothers and sisters, open the hearts towards Love. Teachers of Compassion call even dark ones "brothers", but you have become hardened in struggle with each other! It has no value which things the person or the organization has got on the physical plane, only the fire being brought to the world is of importance - weak or strong, White or black. All books, paintings, artifacts and Teraphims are only fire wood for a bonfire of the heart. They help us to light our fires and to support them, but quality of these fires, their orientation and satiety are exclusively in everyone's hands. All Heavenly Paths are open! Certainly, struggle is ordained, because kindness needs a protection, but let everyone gain the victory over own dragon!

Light to you all.
