 Despite the important impact this book had at the time, it was regarded by [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky|Mme. Blavatsky]] and the [[Masters of Wisdom]] as having several flaws, some due to the fact that it was the first, tentative effort, to bring to the West a certain truths. [[Koot Hoomi|Mahatma K.H.]], for example, was ready to admit that from the point of view of Westerners the book "often and purposely mislead the reader by withholding the necessary explanations and have given but portions of the truth".<ref>Vicente Hao Chin, Jr., ''The Mahatma Letters to A.P.
