Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 TRUE MASTER There prevails a great deal of misconception about True Master or Sadguru, especially His hallmark and His manifestation. The priest class and religious leaders have managed to delude the masses, in every age, in believing that the outfit such as a particular attire or forehead - mark, or rosary, or matter hair, is hallmark of a True Master and that, unlike the multitude, he manifests rarely, not in every age. Let us examine this stand objectively. An illiterate may be better dressed than a doctor. Also a person does not become a doctor merely by doctor apparel. Medical knowledge and not the attire is the hallmark of a doctor. In other words, one, who heals patients, is a healer not withstanding the nomenclature - Hakim, Vaid, Tabeeb or doctor. Further, death of a doctor does not mean the end of medical knowledge. What dies is the physical body and not the transcendental knowledge. Knowledge (ever) abides. Another person equipped with medical knowledge takes his place. This holds good also in the case of a True Master. There is yet another cogent reason why a True Master should be there in every age. Times without number it is asserted and propagated that God-realisation is the foremost aim of human life. In other words, to realize God is an obligation as also a birthright, nay a divine right of every human, in whichever age he or she is born. And, as a doctor is indispensable to dispense medicine, so is a True Master for dispensing God-knowledge. In other words, God can be realized by the grace of True Master alone. In the circumstances, is it logical that there should not be a True Master in any age those who contend or propagate that manifestation of a True Master in rare phenomenon, should honestly search their hearts and ponder over the gravity of the consequence of their approach? Are not they depriving the teeming million’s of an opportunity to discharge their most sacred obligation and exercise their divine right to realize God and thereby fulfill the chief aim of human life to be redeemed Are not they, wittingly or unwittingly, ‘violating’ their divine right The truth is that since the Divine is eternal, so is the Divine Messenger or True Master to bless the aspirants with the Divine Message or God-knowledge, in every age, whatever be the nomenclature of the whatever (of God-knowledge). Again, let us not forget that a Divine Messenger or True Master is not a person but an institution and God-knowledge his sole hallmark. Word (Divine) is the Master, Guru and the Lord, Disciple is the conscious inner accord. (This book can be read from www.saileelas.org/books).
