Freedom - a spiritual master leaves human beings Freedom, it is life which is implacable

07/31/2004

Many people think a master has the power to impose himself on human beings and force them to change. Not at all! However great the love, wisdom and power of a master, he cannot get through to them if they are stubborn and closed. A true spiritual master understands the laws and knows he has no power to force those who refuse to open themselves to the light. He speaks and tries to convince them, of course, because his greatest wish is to help human beings, but he knows very well that only those who are prepared will receive his teaching, and he leaves the others free. But life does not allow human beings much freedom. Life, itself, is implacable, and from time to time it sends some shocks to those who refuse to get to know and respect divine laws.
