🌷 Gaining a Right Understanding 🌷

Many people would like to come into contact with a great master. For this some set out to search in the Himalayas or at another place. But a master is not a statue which you can visit at a place. He can stay everywhere and nowhere, he decides to whom he reveals himself. 

Nothing can prevent him from being here together with us. Physical nearness to a master is not real nearness, but the psychological alignment. People of his closest surroundings might know nothing of him. We too cannot recognise him, even if he is physically present, if we haven’t approached the master in ourselves, the soul. 

A man has not yet become a master only because he has been given the title “master”. A master is a human being who has gained mastery over the mind, the senses and the body, who stays firm in the buddhic state as a soul and works impersonally for the Plan.

There are people who deny the existence of the masters, consider them as an untenable hypothesis or even laugh at the wisdom. We should not share our understanding of the masters with such people. 

They too will some day arrive at the point where the understanding of this wisdom opens up to them. However, it is important not to treat those who don’t follow the path of light as bad or weak.

Many people comment about the masters on the basis of their own ignorance. Some approach them with their own goals, which they want to have fulfilled, and try to manipulate them. They exploit the wisdom of the masters and go to the extent of harming them. 

Judas was a patriot who had expected his master to do away with the Roman Empire and to set up a kingdom. Many Jews had this understanding. When Jesus did nothing of the kind, he was disappointed and betrayed him.

Many people have their own fantasies about the masters. Some have “visions” of the masters, but these are only their own illusions. They see many things, hear many voices and speak irresponsibly about it. 

They receive messages from their own source, which they call “master”. They can make the “masters” speak and write everything they want. There are mislead by alluring astral forms and not able to overcome the distortions of the subtle world. As a rule their way of life does not agree with what they pretend, because the wisdom is applied in a wrong manner. 

Right discrimination is one of the most important faculties on the path of light. Only under very rare circumstances, when there is the urgent need, the masters appear. Instead that we think we want to see them, we should consider how we could cooperate in the work.
