  • Summary

One must meet many criteria in order to become an enlightened Master. Sometimes ancient Masters could only teach one or two people because they could not attract the masses. If they went out in public, people did not always like them. The Masters might not wish for that either. The issue is about affinity, eloquence or attraction. Otherwise, it’s not enough to just have the power. That’s why it’s mentioned in the Scriptures that if we spiritual practitioners, don’t have virtues, we’ll become Maya; is that not so? Without being vegan, we will become Maya, not Buddha. The power is the same but the level is not the same if one lacks wisdom and compassion.


Highlights
  1. Why should we not criticize how an enlightened Master teaches Her/His disciples? Ancient Masters gave their disciples many tests but it’s not because they had no compassion. Then what was the reason behind it?
  2. Many people rush to give lectures, to liberate the masses or show compassion to others. Are these behaviors correct?
  3. Why is it extremely difficult to find a Saintly being who is not only enlightened but also willing to share His/Her wisdom with the masses?
  4. What are the criteria for becoming an enlightened Master? Is having power sufficient for making one become a Master?
  5. What are the tests that one needs to go through in order to become the successor of a Master? Why is it difficult for a Master to find a suitable successor?
  6. Are epidemics, diseases, and disasters affected by the Astral atmosphere? How do spiritual practices cleanse the world's atmosphere?
  7. Enlightened Masters come to this world generation after generation. Does every Master have the same power? Under what kinds of circumstances will the greatest Masters appear?
