Rumi, "If you seek to know God, sit at the feet of the Saints." The esoteric mysteries cannot be fully explained in writing, as the inner process has its own difficulties and handicaps. In various ways the Master in his Subtle Form helps the spirit in the journey from plane to Plane. This work of guidance both within and without cannot be performed by past Masters. The nameless and formless Shabd becomes a form and assumes a name and dwells among us. In the Holy Gospel we have: "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Unless God comes down in the garb of man, we cannot know the Unknowable. The teachings of scriptures remain scaled to us under the heavy weight of ancient and archaic verbiage, unless a Master Soul who has actual experience of the Science of the Spirit explains to us the truth of these scriptures. Even the apparently simple teachings of the late Masters fail to yield the right import unless some living adept in the line tells us their true significance, and makes us experience the same experiences mentioned in the scriptures. By transmitting his own life impulse, he enlivens the spirit lying helplessly shriveled in the body under the dead weight of mind and matter. -- Kirpal Singh, Godman: ruhanisatsangusa.org/godman/godman_5.htm
