‣ 17. What is it like to be a Master?
A true Master understands that the ORIGIN of all creation is UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS and that IT is the Divine Source of all Love and Intelligence. (A6)
When he reaches this state of inner cleanliness of thought, feeling and action, never demanding of others but willing and eager to give to the uttermost of all he possesses, because he knows perfectly well that he can have anything he needs, he will be a perfectly open channel of DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS which is the creative Impulse within this dimension of visible creation. (A6)
When he has achieved such a state of inner purity and cleanliness, he will live in a state of inner joy, peace, and unconditional love. (A6)
He will understand the living world and the difficulties such living things encounter and feel an immediate and spontaneous love and compassion for all. (A6)
He will have transcended the world and its millions of self-interests, self-indulgences, experiences of despair, fear, revenge, hatred, slandering, gossip, rejection of others. (A6)
All these worldly activities will go on around him but he will not experience them himself. He will only feel boundless compassion and love for them. He will only long and yearn passionately, to TEACH the world the TRUTH OF BEING. (A6)
He will make every sacrifice with joy, to help people understand the TRUTH and live it in their every thought, word, deed. (A6)
He will do this, because it will be painful for him to know that as people stubbornly persist in their own way, thinking, feeling, reacting, in any way that their emotions prompt them to do, they are only creating more of the same misery which has driven them to seek a way out of it. (A6)
