Role of Master
he prays to his master to be seated on the plank of his heart, and if his prayer is heard and answered in words spoken by his master at his call, ―I change but I cannot die!‖, the idea will be totally correct so to say. The idea should remain as it is. Form may be changed, it matters little.
Now the disciple is satisfied. He contemplates his master, and the idea of His presence remains in his heart. I think it is sufficient. There is one philosophy underlying it. When we put a bird into the cage for the first time it begins to flap its wings because it is not used to the cage. You put the unlimited one into the cage of your heart. When the unlimited one is compared to a bird for your understanding, it begins to fly with you, and then you begin to seek its image which is only seen as long as its flight has not begun. You both fly together to have the cage and you become one with Him. When this is the case, I mean when your flying has commenced, then fly with all you have got with you.
