“There can be only two effective methods: either one surrenders oneself to the Spiritual Guide like a dead body in the hands of the person who administers a bath to it (dresser), or else one may labour oneself, comply to commands and go on making oneself deserving to benefit from Master’s transmission. People of second category can be available: those adopting the first method may also be found but quite a few in number. To tell the truth, there remains nothing to do in case of the person who is able to adopt the first method in the proper way. He too, anyway is not exempt from compliance to commands; that remains incumbent under all circumstances. Dictatorship remains always effective, specially in matters of spirituality. Thereby I mean to say that the person on whom Divine commands descend has no say in the matter of compliance to such commands”.

Dependency On Master:
“Nature starts taking care of one who has surrendered oneself totally to It: the eye of that great Power (Nature) starts getting fixed on that person. The example of switch comes into effect: no sooner does the chain receive a jerk than the voice (sound) from the above (divine) descends! Persons of this (level of) love are scarce; and this thing is difficult too! So, we seek our Master’s support; and moving backwards (proceeding on return journey) this same state comes up at long last. Some persons do not at all give up the reliance on the Master: they certainly retain this defect! At the end i.e., on physical dissolution (leaving the body), both (those who surrender totally to Nature and those who retain reliance on the Master up to the end) arrive at one and the same state. I had, anyway, adopted this very aspect (reliance on Master) up to the end; and had advised you too to do likewise. When the force of will fills up the abode of dreamless deep sleep (sushupti) the current of Nature starts flowing”.
