Master has reached the Ultimate state'. We tell them that they may think about the Ultimate and pray to Him to come and help them. When He does come in the form in which we wanted we would ask him to appear in other forms. The worship of the transcendence and the impersonal or non- personal or non-form God is compelled at one stage to use or recognize a human personality who has come as the Person who can take us along with him. Now that is why the meditation on a real Master. One who actually connects us with the God is necessary. How do we know this capacity? Only by actual testing. There is no point in argumentation on whether a non-personal God is real and personal God is imperfect. Some say meditation in a personal God is not correct because the person is imperfect. In what sense is He imperfect? He may not be perfect because he has to eat, has to attend to his calls of nature, and has to attend to his duties. But is that the reason for our choosing Him as the object of our meditation? We choose him for the simple reason that he can connect us with God, can give us Pranahuti which is the transcending force which enters into our being, purifying us till we reach the state of merging with the Ultimate Being itself. If he can do that he is perfect, whatever may be his imperfections in other respects. A man may be a great scholar but a bad advisor in politics. He is great in one field but not so in all fields. A Master is a Master. If we expect him to be invulnerable, that he shall not be burnt, blown away and all the rest of the things. I think that is unreasonable. The limitation is limitation of man. We are all imperfect and the Divine takes a human body and yet connects us with the Divine. The idea is that it is possible for every imperfect being to connect himself with God and not say that it is impossible for us to connect with God. Many people tell me that it is not possible for us to connect ourselves with God and if one can do that he must be a godly person. But I am an ordinary man. We may be imperfect like anybody, but it is possible for us to connect ourselves with God and not only connect ourselves with God here and now but also to attain a state of God or His very condition even here and now. It is just possible.
Our people used to say Sri Rama incarnated as a man and took a vow that he shall appear like a man in this world. The idea is that we can become like Rama. But we have immediately made him a God, made him an entity and we never strove to become like him except for wrong things, perhaps listening to a foolish uncle or father or mother. And when Sri Krishna took
