Pujya Babuji Maharaj’s Message
From Peerless Pearls
“The proper sort of training, if the Guru is perfect, is that the teacher should generate among his disciples that sort of smell which leads them to the garden.”
Dr. K.C. Varadachari’s Message
Daily Inspiration
“A man may become a master of technique but inspiration might fail him. A man must educate himself all the same in the technique, possess the erudition and skill to manifest the inspiration when it is prepared to choose him. (It is not quite comprehensible, however, whether any one could be called a master without having any inspiration at all). Thus perhaps do Gods choose their disciples.”
Rev. K.C. Narayana’s Reference
Commentary on the Master’s Message
“A trainer is one who has opted to work for the Master. Master says that "Human perfection lies in realising the Master as Master in true sense, and oneself as His slave devoted entirely in His service". Unless this attitude is firmly established in the minds of the trainer, the training is bound to be far below the mark. By developing this attitude the Master says "One created in himself a state of negation which attracts His direct attention and establishes a link with Him. Now it becomes incumbent upon one to discharge his duties in like manner, keeping the link in tact, so that the Master's greatness be engrossed upon his heart and he may be in His direct view". It is hoped that all the trainers will introspect and try to improve their commitment to Master's work.”

“In traditional methods of training in yoga we observe that after the mantropadesa the aspirant is on his own to move in the path. But in fact self-effort does not lead us to higher levels and we end up performing ritualistic worship. Persons who are more unfortunate end up in delusions and illusions of varieties. It should be borne in mind that we should never enter our soul journey unescorted, not because we will lose our way. We need an escort because this journey changes how we perceive our world, how we understand ourself, how we view our own boundary when it comes to love, fear, forgiveness, compassion, and even the size and shape of our reality. We will require at some point a person with whom we can share what it feels like to have familiar illusions evaporate, replaced by sharper drives and instincts. Some days during meditations and in general everything presents as a crisis and on other days we observe it all to be sheer joy and pure ecstasy. In our system our beloved Master asserts that `the teacher takes out the hurdles in the progress of the seeker and side by side imparts the divine effulgence in him.' Thus with such a support we find in the path a spiritual Trainer is an escort on this profound journey into the fearless, mystical domain of our soul.”
