What Is The Reward For Cooperation?
What can be more reproducible than a Master creating
a Master? In management schools, well, they create managers
but they do not create bosses; but here, you create the boss
himself. As Babuji said, "I do not make slaves, I make
Masters." So, it is our duty to prove the system's ability
and its capacity, as abhyasis upon ourselves, as preceptors
upon the abhyasis who come to us, and that is how the efficacy
of the system is transmitted down the line as it were. So,
it is a double duty we have again. Because, if we are inefficient,
if we fail, it is the Master's failure. Nobody is going to
say, "You failed or she failed." They say, "What
is the system, what is the Ram Chandraji you are talking so
much about? Nothing has happened." It is his name, his
reputation, it is the Mission's fair name that is always at
stake.
So please remember, the organisation exists for you, books are printed
for you; if the Master travels, he travels for you. Therefore I pray that
all of you should get right understanding of the system, of the Master,
of what we are doing. We are doing nothing less than endeavouring to upgrade
the humanity to the levels of angels and gods and beyond. It is not an ordinary
task, it is not even a superhuman task, it is a divine task in which you
are involved. Please understand it and work accordingly.
If an abhyasi wants to
become like the Master and become one with him, which is the highest goal
of spiritual practice, then this daytime exposure to, and association with
the Master, His work, becomes most important. So that is why he had to travel
all His life to centers all over the world, and that is why it becomes important
that we, as abhyasis,
cooperate with Him fully in this aspect of His work.
Do we wish to follow Him upon the noble and divine path of self-development
or do we desire to remain here, earthbound, stagnating in this miserable
existence, because of our lust for power and material advancement? This
is the question that we must ask ourselves.
His plans can never fail because they are plans divinely ordained. Our
indiscipline can never affect His work. Our lack of cooperation can never
alter His design for bringing about change. All that our lack of discipline
can possibly achieve - if it can be called achievement - is our own stagnation,
and possibly fall from the levels that He has so benevolently blessed us
with. Life will pass us by, leaving us grasping the toys and dolls of lesser
aspiration, while those who cooperate in the magnificent venture of
participating in change will follow Him into Eternity.
