The Master

What is this entity called 'Master'? Is it an entity of the five

elements or is it something beyond?

 

It is one who has realised God. A Master

is a Siddha Purusha. Jnaneswara recognized his own brother Sri Nivrithinath, who was his Guru as no other than Paramathman, who is indescribable and who is beyond your

description or perception, Nivrithinath. The Master

felt that his disciple had not done anything more than a mere translation of

the Gita. He wanted him to go beyond by writing ‘AMRITANUBHAV’,

his own immortal experiences, by blessing him. Jnaneswara,

then, wrote a few hundred slokas for the benefit of

humanity.

 

When you meet your Guru, your karma ends. Life begins with vasanas like rivers which start in mountains like small

streams and ever growing until they reach the ocean. The individual soul has to

reach its Guru, the Master. It has to merge in its own entity. Jivathma is a tiny lime speck and it loses itself in the

form of Siva. The aim of everyone should be to reach Sivahood.

The Sufis also try the same thing, " Wherever I go, I find you alone and

nothing else. Why do you hide yourself at all; Come to me. The Master, Guru or Siddha is the highest stage, the Nirguna

stage, which is beyond description or perception. Vasana

sets in the moment there are hankering after anything. Without Ahankar, the jiva cannot become

Siva but only satvic ahankar

is needed. If you have humility or prapatti, even

then, you can become Siva. For this you have to do sadhana.

Without it you cannot reach Sivahood. Practise looking at the lord for a moment; you will desire,

gradually, to look at him always. Madhuri Bhav of the Gopis is an

illustration. The Jiva must be the receiver to receive

the power of Brahman.
