“Master stated that “To impart spirituality really takes no time for a guide of high calibre like my Master. The time is mostly spent in effecting the making of the abhyasi.” (SS-131). Further he stated “The difficulty arises when we link it with our own will or action, thinking it to be the result of our own efforts. We rejoice at success and feel aggrieved at failure merely for that reason.” “This is the only thing which serves to keep us in bondage. The absence of this egoistic feeling means the advent of real potent vigour. How can this be achieved? Only by linking the self with the great power of the Divine. Doing so we go on covering stage after stage and we get closer and closer to Him.” Master laments “It is a pity to find only a few persons trying to link themselves with the Supreme not to speak of achieving complete negation.” (SS-135) I would like to clarify that in our system we always talk of the positive approach of reaching the Supreme and do not try to dwell more on the blemishes which promotes more dejection and depression. However moving positively by attaching ourselves with the Master we slowly but steadily get rid off the obstacles or blemishes in our character that form a barrier to achieve our cherished goal.”

“When the interdependency of the self with that Master is getting realized the first feeling is that He is the father and is the one who gives food, shelter and clothes gets established. This has many emotional tones and religious literature substantiates this phase in the case of many saints. The feeling that He is the father slowly yields to the more abstract notion that He is the protector in every sense of the term. He becomes the refuge for any and every problem. This leads to the feeling that He is the Master and we are the serfs and after sufficient travel in these states the knowledge that He is the one who should be known, seen and entered into strikes root.”
