THE COMPANY OF SANTS
The LORD who created us , has kept the treasure of Word -'The Logos' within us . But its secret is known only to the Perfect Masters . We must , therefore , go to Masters and be in their company to gain the wealth of 'The Word'-Logos . The Spiritual Sound .
The Lord created as a natural law , the fact that whenever He meets anyone He does so through one of the Masters . In this connection , Christ says -- "Come unto me , all ye that labor and are heavy loden, and I will give you rest." -- (Matthew 11/28 ) .
And-- " I am the Way , the Truth, and the Life ; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me . If ye had known me , ye should have known my Father also ; and from henceforth ye know Him , and have seen Him ." -- ( Jhon 14/6,7 ) .
That is to say , you can meet the Lord only through me . I am the only means and the only way . If you recognise me , you have recognised the Lord and seen Him .
He further says : "And he that seeth me seeth Him that sent me ." -- ( John 12/45 ) .
At another place He says : -- " I am the light of the world : he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness , but shall have the Light of Life ." -- ( John 8/12 ) .
Those who do not meet a Perfect Master are indeed most unfortunate . They always remain under the sway of Kal,the negative power . They have to undergo much suffering and misery , in this world they are really more dead then alive .
Everybody is in search of happiness and peace and tries to find them in different worldly things , people and places . But real happiness lies in the word and we can contact the word only with the help of a Perfect Master . If we do not have the company of a Master , even though Logos-'The Word' is within us and is our heritage or Patrimony, we can never discover its transcendent, true and Pure Music . We should , therefore, try to find a Perfect Master so that He may put us in touch with the Logos -'The Divine Music'. Nothing else can ever bring us lasting peace and bills .
Masters do not have to give us anything From outside . The transcendent wealth of Inner Sound is within us , and has been kept there for us by the Lord . It must be found within our own selves . The Masters have only to point the way and revale the method of finding it .
The power of learning , for example , is within all of us . But for the most part it lies dormant until we go to school and college . Then if we listen attentively to what the teacher says and diligently carry out the work assigned by him, the latent power of learning is awakened and we become doctors engineers or scholars . In the case of students who because of fear of their teachers become truants and fail to attend classes , the power of learning ,though it is present in him , continues to remain dorment . It is the association with our teachers and our own efforts to learn that develops our intellect .
Take another example . We all know that milk has butter in it , but if we do not know the method how to make butter, we can never get butter out of the milk . Butter can always be obtained from milk , but it cannot be obtained without using the appropriate method .
In our body the Lord has kept the numerous treasure of Word, but our mind wanders about outside the body in doubt and delusion . So long as it does not go within and make a thorough search for the treasures , it can never find them .
Masters simply show us The Path , and we must seek their guidance .
