She also has an introductory book, Key to Theosophy, and an inspiration book, Voice of the Silence, for those few who are ready to tread in the footsteps of advanced disciples - or at least for those who want their soul to hear the same call.

Madame Blavatsky was always very ready to admit, and even to emphasize, the fact that inaccuracies were to be found in all her works; and in the early days, when we came across some especially improbable statement of hers we not unnaturally laid it reverently aside as perhaps one of those inaccuracies.
For those working with the personality the voice of the ego is the voice of the silence, but when one has dominated the personality entirely and has made it one with the ego so that the ego may work perfectly through it, it is the voice of the atma—-the triple spirit on the nirvanic plane.

During a trip to Fontainebleau, France in July, 1889, H. Blavatsky wrote the major part of the devotional, mystical work The Voice of the Silence, based on excerpts from an Eastern scripture, The Book of the Golden Precepts, which she had learned by heart during her training in the East.
I read on, forgetting her presence in the beauty and sublimity of the theme until she broke in upon my silence with, 'Well?' I told her it was the grandest thing in all our Theosophical literature and tried, contrary to my habit, to convey in words some of the enthusiasm that I felt.

 The Voice of the Silence by H.P.Blavatsky
Before thou set'st thy foot upon the ladder's upper rung, the ladder of the mystic sounds, thou hast to hear the voice of thy inner GOD (The Higher SELF) in seven manners.
Before thou standest on the threshold of the Path before thou crossest the foremost Gate, thou hast to merge the two into the One and sacrifice the personal to SELF impersonal, and thus destroy the "path" between the two- Antaskarana (9).
For as the sacred River's roaring voice whereby all Nature- sounds are echoed back (10), so must the heart of him 'who in the stream would enter', thrill in response to every sigh and thought of all that lives and breathes".

The psychic, in alliance with the passional, is a terrible foe to man. Moreover, H. Blavatsky's message was for humanity; and the uprooting of selfishness is the only medicine for society.
