The words Master and Disciple, generally we find in western spiritual literature, especially in Theosophical literature. Madam Blavatsky used the word 'Master' in a different sense. In India we use the words Guru and Sishya (Disciple). It appears from outside that the meaning is almost the same, but there is a lot of difference. It is because of the century we live in and the training we derive from the Gurus and Masters.

As per Madam Blavatsky, the word Master denotes mastery over many things. Mastery over the physical body. mastery over the desire nature, mastery over the mind and thoughts and finally mastery over themselves.

They are the Masters who can handle the human constitution, to make the machines of the body and the mind function in their proper manner so as to tune them to the higher intelligence in man.

A real Master does not want any recognition from us. He will be guiding us from behind, trying to decide the quality of our thoughts, words and actions. At every step they assess the value of our evolution. Gradually they replace our nature with higher nature until the nature of this earth globe begins to work through us.
