This they can only do exoterically,Discipleship1, 739:from some unit in its midst.

An Ashram is not a group of people seeking spiritualDiscipleship1, 748:living, thus leading to a consequent fusion. An Ashram or Master's group is, therefore, a center ofDiscipleship1, 748:- carried forward at any personal cost.
