The Master’s
Birthday Message Dear Ones: THROUGH the grace of my Master, another year of my
Mission has been completed, and my 76th birthday marks the beginning
of a new one. It is my wish that the birthday of the Master be celebrated by
all of you as befits the occasion, which is by living up to my words: “Let my
words abide in you – and you abide in me.”
The result will be that your minds will become pure and the gracious
Master can then release your soul from the bondage of mind and matter and take
it up to meet His Radiant Form within you.
You will then have achieved your second birth, the true one into the
Beyond. How wonderful it would be if
the Master and His children could thus celebrate the coming 77th
year of my physical life in this way. For this, the ground has been prepared for you. You have been put on the Way and given some
experience of the God-into-Expression Power of Light and Sound Principle within
you, which can be developed from day to day by right living and devoted meditations. The cause of the Master is the cause of God,
and it is for each one of you to make it your cause by being an example of the
Master’s teachings, His Light and Love. Spirituality is a living and practical subject. The right understanding of this has been made
clear to you in my Circular Letters of June 13 and November 5, 1969, which
should be read again and again, so that you may compare how your day-to-day
living is matching up to them. You will
receive further help and encouragement when you read my latest book, entitled
“Morning Talks,” which is now in the final stages of publication. These talks, which were given by me in the
mornings at the time a number of dear ones from the West were staying here at
the Ashram, cover almost every facet of Spirituality. Each of the forty talks in this book deals with a different
aspect of what is required to progress on the Way back to God, and succeed one
another in such a way as to form a God-given spiritual textbook. God willing, I hope to be amongst you all sometime this
year. If you make earnest efforts to
change your lives in accordance with my words, you will develop receptivity to
the gracious Master Power within you, which will receive a boost from the
divine radiations shed by the Physical Presence of the Master. It is for you to make the effort and for Him
to crown your effort with success. I have great love for all of you. Indeed if you knew how much I loved you, you
would dance for joy. You will become as intoxicated by His love that it will
carry you straight into the arms of your Beloved within. In this way only will you have celebrated
the Master’s birthday as He wishes; My love and best wishes go to one and all. Yours
affectionately, KIRPAL
