When a Master takes you under his wing, it is a privilege and a
blessing. Those who serve a Master do so unconditionally and with
love in their hearts. They are set on a path of mastery
themselves, committed to serving all others. In fact, in serving
the Master, you are also serving the thousands of beings that he
serves, creating a chain of humility in the name of the Divine.
Sacrifice will come naturally to you, as you will be returning a
portion of the profound gifts you have received. Gratitude will
fill your heart for the miracles of your life and wonder for the
miracles in the lives of those around you. Even if you experience
a tangle of complications that seem irresolvable, the light of the
Divine will resolve them at the last minute – always in the very
nick of time. Gratitude becomes a natural part of your life,
especially to the one who has liberated you and shown you the
Power of the Word and continues to direct your life in the path of
that heavenly Light. Once you find a True Master and surrender to
God, Naam, and your path, do not go back. Completely surrender to
the Divine Spiritual Wisdom and dedicate your life to Naam. That
is pure dedication. You will win and reach your highest, loftiest
achievement. By treating a True Spiritual Master with reverence,
we are awakened to our ultimate destiny and the God-realizing
process of existence, and Heaven comes through in all realms of
our lives.
The
fastest way to grow spiritually and see the unseen, is to take the
bull by the horns and open your heart to the Master. The Master
doesn’t care whether you are good or bad. For him, everything is
always good. The Master will always teach you to live in the
positive, and die in the positive. That is the higher way of life.
Walk one step toward the Master with a pure heart, and the Master
will walk two steps toward you. The Master teaches how to serve so
that you may awaken in you those forces through which the negative
karmic ties of the past can be eradicated so that you may enter
into a life of freedom. He will teach you that service is the way
to heal all ills. When faced with mental, emotional and/or
physical challenges, learn the Divine Spiritual Wisdom, vibrate
Naam, serve others and serve God. This will cause your problems to
vanish. Those who vibrate Naam and serve God have the favorable
conditions they need to blossom and they are happy. They do not
need to be concerned with what may occur because in the end,
regardless of what happens, miracles will bless their lives. These
people are protected by the elements of ether, air, fire, water
and earth. They are able to receive the beneficial healing forces
emitted by the cosmos. Serving others is a meditation in and of
itself, and the highest form of yoga.
When the heavens arrange for you to meet the Master, it is your
specific destiny, for you cannot override the heavens. Your entire
life will be transformed, and your spiritual, emotional and mental
growth will be exponential. You may even feel at times as if you
are flying through waves of knowledge, sensing that all is
changing around you. The light of the Master, who is one of the
generations of the Universal Repairer, touches you, working
through you to improve the lives of all around you, so you, too,
become the conduit of the heavens. Your relationship with yourself
will change as you become brighter, clearer, more focused and
capable of others’ trust in you. You will become the living Word
as its divinity comes to live in you. Then, your relationship with
your family will change. As you work on yourself via the heavenly
light, this light will benefit your family and smooth the paths of
discord. This will extend to your relationships with all beings,
creating a ripple effect – a wave of light that passes from one
person to the next.
When you give to a Master, you automatically receive blessings.
The Master is constantly sowing seeds of Goodness by turning
thousands of people to the Light of God. He is opening thousands
of hearts to God, with his words, his touch, his presence, his
deeds and his works. He gives and serves thousands of people. The
Master serves on a daily basis those who are in dire need and
helps those overcome with sorrow, pain and sickness. God serves
the True Spiritual Master because he serves others as an extension
of God. By giving to a Master, you give, through him, to the
thousands of people he serves. By giving to the True Spiritual
Master you will receive blessings from the thousands of people you
have served through him. In your time of need, the universe will
automatically provide for you. Giving to a True Spiritual Master
opens the channels to Divine Good within and without. It opens in
our consciousness the way for spiritual growth and supply to come
to us. It brings us in direct contact with spiritual life,
substance and intelligence. It loosens the burdens of our personal
lives, unifies us with the universe and opens within and without
an inflow and outflow of God’s bounty. When you leave this world,
all the material richness that you may have acquired in this life
is left behind. However, every good deed that you have done will
go with you. Those who have served in this life will attract
material and spiritual richness in their next life. Abundance
follows the Law of Service. When the student serves the Master
unconditionally, he/she is automatically on the path of becoming a
Master in this, or another, lifetime. Then the student is able to
help many, many people as well. In so doing, the student receives
untold happiness. Indeed, as others benefit from what the student
is now able to give, his/her soul rises higher and higher,
becoming increasingly powerful and bright like the Sun. Meeting a
True Master, then, is a precious gift; a chance to move from fate
to destiny.
When one decides to work under a True Spiritual Master, he blesses
you with the Naam and helps you free yourself of the burden of
fate, so that you may manifest your highest destiny. It is vital
to "Know thyself, to learn to die before death." To know the
method of dying before death we need a True Master who has
experienced such a death. He will bless you with Naam, and teach
the method of dying before death. A man must learn to die once, so
that he may not want to die again. When dying, one loses the
desire to eat. Then the desire to breathe is progressively cut
off, causing you to breathe less air. As a result, one learns to
eat with love and to breathe with love. God created man to eat
with love, think with love, feel with love, speak with love and to
act with love. This sacred fire must be the reason that stimulates
man. It is not an easy thing for a person to learn without a
Master, for he can teach you how to take care of your blood, in
which the spiritual alchemy must take place. The Master instructs
you on how to purify your blood so that the Holy Spirit may
incarnate in you. You cannot purify your blood if you do not have
pure thoughts, pure feelings pure speech and pure actions. When
you study with a Master, you learn the Law of Purification so that
even your blood may become purified. When you purify your blood
you will get rid of thousands of diseases that derive from
impurities in the bloodstream. A true Master teaches you how to
eat pure and clean food, and shows you the right way to drink hot
water so that you may remove thousands of diseases due to impure
food and keep them at bay. Unclean and impure food brings filth
into your stomach, which fouls the blood years later and inspires
pessimism and poor health overall. A person with pure blood is
always lively. If you lose your liveliness, your blood is impure.
A Master can show you how the cultivation of pure thought, pure
feelings and pure actions result in pure blood, lively spirits and
abundant health and youth.
Working with a True Spiritual Master will cause you to go through
a process of regeneration in which there will be a sublimation of
vice into virtue. You will be reborn in the Spirit whereby the
body and soul are penetrated by the heat of Divine Love and the
light of Divine Intelligence that emanates from the Divine Fire
held within self-consciousness and self-knowledge. The True Master
will help you develop the Heavenly Rose, also known as the lost
inner faculty, so that you may perceive the hidden, eternal
truths. The opening of this spiritual faculty and blossoming of
the Heavenly Rose is the mystery of regeneration – the vital union
between God and Man. Human beings in the modern world are living
in exile, deprived of our true essence and real powers. We are
creatures of opposites, a battleground for good and evil that
consists of the imperishable, metaphysical substance and the
material, perishable substance that fight within us. The
imperishable remains enclosed in the perishable; in other words,
within our mortal shells exist a mighty spiritual body. We need a
True Spiritual Master to learn the true method of regeneration, in
order to loosen the corruptible matter that keeps our immortal
being bound in chains, and the active power asleep. It is the
inner spiritual organ that has an incorruptible, transcendental,
metaphysical essence as its foundation. All our misery springs
from our corruptible material of mortality. For Man to be freed
from this misery, it is necessary for the immortal, incorruptible
principle lying within our inner being to be developed so that it
is able, as it were, to devour the corruptible and the mortal. We
must experience a rebirth in which the spirit of wisdom and love
rules and the animal nature obeys, establishing the conditions
whereby we are able to enter into communication with the world of
higher intelligences. To this end, we need a True Master, who will
show us, while in the human form, how the Soul can realize God and
retrace its footsteps to reach its first home. This Divine
Spiritual Wisdom brings joy and expansion. The teachings of the
Masters will lead you to self-realization and Cosmic Consciousness
through an all-embracing love and selfless service of mankind.
Those who are truly intrigued are automatically led to the right
place by the Light of God within them. Those who have a strong
desire for Divine Spiritual Wisdom can receive guidance from a
True Master long before they come into the physical presence of
the Master – the one who represents the Word Made Flesh.
