THE ASTRAL FORM OF THE MASTER HELPS YOU FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION “If one succeeds in establishing himself in the Radiant Form during his lifetime, he should consider himself lucky. He sits at the top of the physical world. There is nothing in this world with which this state can be compared. It stands by itself. It gives a unique type of peace. No limit can be placed as to how the Master awakens souls with his Astral Form. Sometimes a person is in one country and the Master is in another and the two have not met before. Even then the Astral Form of the Master has gone to him, come in contact with him, awakened him, and talked to him. But full explanation and secret of the path is given only when they meet. The person, on meeting, realizes that he came in contact with this Form at such and such a place. It is the business and duty of every disciple to make his mind motionless and reach the eye centre. The duty of the Master is to help and guide on the path. To control the mind and senses and open the tenth door depends on the disciple’s efforts. If there is any difficult work in the world, it is the fight with the mind. Because the soul is positive and mind is negative, therefore the teachings and satsangs of the Master are to encourage the soul and make it stand against the mind, fight it, and win the battle. When the mind has gone in, it tastes the sweetness such as it never has before tasted in worldly objects. Then it becomes obedient and faithful. So long as it has not tasted that sweetness, there is no greater enemy. The primary factor in this success is the effort of the disciple. Sometimes it so happens that the mind loses faith even in the Maser and puts forth strange arguments in support of its case. This is the result of past bad karma. Even rishis and yogis have been deceived by this cunning mind. The Master teaches and the disciple learns. The progress of the disciple depends upon how fast he learns his lessons. The efforts of the disciple and the grace of the Master go hand in hand. Effort is rewarded with grace, and grace brings more effort. When a labourer gets his wages after a day’s work, is the Maser so unjust that he will keep back his grace from a diligent disciple? The Master’s physical presence helps the disciple to attain concentration if the disciple takes advantage of his presence. The inner Master gives all the grace and help that the disciple is capable of receiving, no matter where he may be. The Master is within him. (Sawan Singh. “Spiritual Gems”. RSSB 1958/1996.
