Role of Abhyasi
LOVE TOWARDS THE MASTER
Your view relating to Master's love in place of Divine love is quite to the point. Once while transmitting to an abhyasi, promoting in him Divine love, I was advised by my master to infuse into him Master's love instead. My shy nature hinders me from doing so for fear lest one might think I like to be worshipped thus. This is freely preached, rather insisted upon, in most of the other sansthas and also by quacks and charlatans. Though in principle there is nothing wrong in it, yet in practice few perhaps may be found to be up to the mark for this method. The result in all such cases usually is that the teacher and taught both get filled up more and more with grossness. My great master has saved me from this most degrading evil. May he ever protect us all from it!
