Faith In The Master Some people . . . . . . . No. don’t talk
of anyone else please, don’t be the spokesman for other people. Speak on your
own part. (My own part is: ) I can't feel perfectly
sure in the Master. That’s all
right. Whereas other people seem to be able to. Others who seem
to be sure in the Master might have had some inkling of who he is if they are
devoted. Naturally the devoted have got more. Some gift has been given even to
those who are not devoted, but they have not utilize it. those who have become
receptive, can say more. Those who have not become receptive, will surely not
talk in the same words as those who have developed receptivity. You see, one
third of Master's teaching is given by word of mouth, a gift given, and two third
comes by receptivity. You are wanting there. Some have more experience than
others; the same Christ darshan was given to Judas Iscariot and others
disciple, yet Judas Iscariot betrayed Him. That was the different between their
receptivity. When he asked, “do you know who I am?” some said, “You are the son
of a carpenter, such and such, such and such.” And Simon said, “You are the
living son of God.” then Christ said, “it is not you who has said this, it is
my Father in you who has revealed these things to you.” It is in the opening of
awareness on the inner level where the difference is made. Some see he is God ,
walking on earth in man body, because they have developed receptivity. Others
say “no” , but there's . . . . . . no . . . . . doubt about it. do you see some
light? [Question affirms.] You may not,
recognize Him fully as Master )may be half, quarter, but more than you.) but in
this line he knows more than you. You may not be 100 percent sure that he is
Master, maybe only ten percent. But at least he knows more than you about this
way. You got something. Then develop receptivity to know more, that’s all.
Hafiz says, “If you want to meet God . . . . . . . leave everything and go to
the wilderness.” But there was another imbued with the Lord who said, “Why do
you run away? God is standing before you.” His inner receptivity was developed.
He said God is standing before Him in the man body. The difference remains in
receptivity. Simon said, “You're the living son of God.” is it not so? He was
receptivity, he knew. From here in the man body he could see that it was God
who was manifested in Jesus. Yet another disciple, Iscariot, betrayed Him. So
that difference will yet remain. Even if others speak with surely don’t take it
100 percent ; develop yourself –you'll see for your own self. Live up to what
you're told to do. Keep your diary. Put in regular time and you'll develop. You
might then see ore than others, if you are regular. There's hope for everybody.
Always come with an open mind, everything can be said, you see. One who knows
better sees, better, and is more receptive, . . . . . . . then . . . . .
naturally, there's a vast difference between his statements from one who
doesn’t see. Always bring your thoughts to me. never be afraid of me. I am a man
like you. Come with any difficulty, with no reservations. Man learns and
unlearns all through life. you must at least take Him as your elder brothers, a
friend at least, and nothing more, and live up to what he says. I never told
you to take me as God. did I tell anyone? Not even in my books. Our people
defame me, I would say. If you tell
others I said I am God in man. when you see, you may say. Even then, I
say, it is not due to me; it is but my Master within me. it is his grace
working. Whenever you do
something , don’t do it half heartedly. Do it wholeheartedly, then you'll
succeed. One thing as I have told you before, we have got no definite ideal
before us. Most of us night, to decide: God first and word next. You decide. If
you decide world first, all right, you'll progress in the world way. Do it. but
don’t be like a pendulum of a watch: sometimes here, sometimes there.
Oscillating won't do. There's hope for everybody. Those who have reached, say
so. They have seen God in there. So Simon said,
“You are the living son of God.” that was due to his receptivity. Develop more
and more. He never tells you to take Him as more than a son of man. he comes to
you, man to man, as a son of man first. When you go within, he comes to you as
a radiant man. still further as a word man. these are stages. When we have to
talk to the primary man, we are to talk from his level, not from the college
level. So be regular in your meditation, keep your diary, develop more and more
from day to day. Once somebody
asked me about my Master when I first went to Him. “How do you take Master? How
high is he?” I told him, “I don’t know how high he is, but that much I do know
, he is more than I wanted.” Truthful things you see. “He is far more than I
wanted.” That’s is
something explained only up to the eye level, a little Beyond. What to speak of
astral, casual and beyond? Those things
that are now explained to the college man, such as trigonometry, if taught to
the third primary child, would not be understood. As you grow more and more,
you begin to understand more and more. But ABC starts only when you rise above
body consciousness . take Him as a man, a senior man, as a brother as a Father,
as anybody who knows a little bit more than you. Can you not take Him as a man,
a senior man, as a brother , as a Father, as anybody who know a little bit more
than you. Can you not take Him as that much? Shamas Tabrez at one place saying,
“O people, you are going for a pilgrimage. Where are you going? Come up,
pilgrimage is here (eye center).” You see? “pilgrimage is here.” true
pilgrimage is to go to God and see. Until you have seen Him the pilgrimage is
to go somewhere, where he is manifested. So the real pilgrimage is within you.
The company of someone who has developed will help to give you a boost, to go
within, have your first hand pilgrimage, and to come in contact with Him. So
regularity pays, God will bless you. God will bless everybody. Please try. God
will help you. |
