CHAPTER FOURTEEN

 

MASTER AND HIS MISSION

 

MASTER SOULS come into the world out of sheer compassion

for suffering humanity.

 

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are

heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

 

MATTHEW 11:28

 

They have of necessity to put on the physical raiment,

full of impurity as it is, because they have to work on the

physical plane among human beings.

 

God clothed Himself in vile man's flesh, that so

He might be weak enough to suffer woe.

 

JOHN DONNE

 

The way in which they come into and go out of the

world is, however, quite different from ours. They come

and go of their own free will; while we do so under the

irresistible force of karmic pressure, just as a prisoner

would enter a prison under a sentence of penal servitude.

They come for the benefit of mankind - to grant the

Life Impulse to such embodied souls as yearn for Life.

Disembodied and eternally free, they come as Saviours

of souls.

 

They that are whole have no need of the physician,

but they that are sick. I came not to

call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

 

MARK 2:17

 

Birth and death affect them not, for they come

as Saviours for the sinners. By transmitting

their own life energy, they transform the

disciples into Saints.

 

A Master Soul is the greatest benefactor on earth. His

work is of the highest order. He comes to liberate the

souls from the vast prison-house of mind and matter, so

that he may take the exiles back to their glorious home

and restore them to their rich heritage. A kindly soul

may direct the prison warden to provide delicious food

for the prisoners under his charge. Another may grant

the boon of delicacies to them. A third may order for

them good clothing and lodging and so on. Each of

them no doubt may do something to ameliorate their lot

for the time being.

 

But if someone were to throw open the prison gate

and ask them to escape the squalor and misery of the

jail, his work would naturally be counted as one far

excelling the works of others.

 

This is exactly the nature of the work of a Master

Soul. He reveals to us the Lost Kingdom, and restores

us to Paradise from which Adam and, through him, his

progeny were driven out for the original disobedience

to God's Commandment.

 

Man had an ignoble fall from the Garden of Eden,

and none could restore him to the good grace of the

Father and bring about reconciliation except the Son

of Man. He takes upon himself the vicarious

responsibility for the sins of man, purifies him of all

ignominy and by a transfusion of his own Life Impulse

makes him arise into cosmic awareness and gain everlasting

life.

 

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting

life.

 

JOHN 3:36
