The Master's say, "Pure Love is natural and always Longs for Union. Pure Love is the Love of The Soul for The Lord."
As human beings, we have started to believe that our love for other human beings, and our possession is true love. Whereas, The Master's say, "Any Love which is laced with worldly Attachment is not true love."
But, our attachment and attraction towards the worldly things has distracted our focus. Now, the mind has created a new concept of Love, the love of worldly things. How can these distractions be removed, and True Love be ignited?
The Saints say, "Love for The Lord shall pave way for Love for The Master because for us, human, it is difficult to Love the invisible Lord. Since, The Master is in physical form like us, one amongst us, but Enlightened and Radiant, we can connect with his teachings and love him.
To light a candle, we use the Spark from a lit candle. The Master is the lit candle, who has come to light the candle, illuminate our Soul."
Here lies the challenge. Since, The Master is similar to our appearance, how can we accept Him as The MASTER?
The Saints say, "The Aura around The Master speaks for itself. We experience Peace, happiness, bliss and contentment. The Silence clears all the doubts that we have. Tears of joy flow from our eyes on having found the long lost companion. There is a glimpse of Realisation, a trailer of our True Self comes before our eyes.
The Master is here to assist us. We have to have FAITH in The Master. The faith, Vishwas, in The Master can only dispel the worldly distractions and enable us to Live in The Remembrance of The Lord."
Once, A thief entered the palace and overheard the king saying to the queen, "I shall give my daughter in marriage to one of those Guru's who are dwelling on the bank of the river."
The thief thought within himself, "Well, here is good luck for me. I will go and sit among the Gurus tomorrow in the disguise of a Guru and perchance I may succeed in getting the king's daughter."
The next day he did so. When the king's officers came soliciting the Gurus to marry the king's daughter, none of them consented to it. At last they came to the thief in the guise of a Guru and made the same proposal to him. The thief kept quiet. The officers went back and told the king that there was a young Guru who might be influenced to marry the princess and that there was none other who would consent.
The king then went to the thief in person and earnestly entreated him to honour
him by accepting the hand of his daughter. But the heart of the thief changed at the king's visit. He thought within himself, "I have only assumed the garb of a Guru, and behold! the king himself has come to me, with all entreaties. I am sure there will be more better things in store for me if I become a real Guru!"
His Faith, in the role adorned by him as Guru, had awakened. He now wanted to become The Guru. He went to a MASTER and started to Live as per The Master's Will, meditating and praying. to become a true Guru.
The thief's enacting of The Guru's role had brought faith in Him. We are lucky to have the company of The Master. We have heard His Discourses, we have seen His acts, it is all directed towards The Lord and not worldly things.
We need to develop Faith in The Master and not get distracted. By the Grace of The Master, one day we shall too Live BEING THE MASTER. That is, Live in The Remembrance of The Lord and do meditation.
