Buddha, before Christ or Rama. Do you think truth was born with these Masters? If somebody opens the curtains at noon, you see the sun for the first time. But before the curtain was removed the sun was there. Instead of basking under the sun, do you cling to the person who removed the curtain? We have good feeling for this person; we say, "Thank you", but we care for the light, the warmth.
Who is a Master?
If we are not aware, our whole life passes without experiencing the warmth of this sun, the truth. Life goes by only reciting the names and we forget that they were Masters because they uncovered something which was covered. To be a Master does not mean to be the Master over you. A Master is he who Masters his own senses and mind. The senses over come by desires obscure the truth-the brightness, the brilliance, the light, and the mind clings to the words and forms. Jargon becomes more important to people than the truth, so they never catch a glimpse of that truth.
When the rays of the truth penetrate, you are not the same person. Your sorrow is over. What is called Mastership is to overcome sorrow. Sorrow is created by your mind. In reality, there is no sorrow. You create sorrow when you cling to a thing; when things don't happen as you want, you become sad. You want something and you do not get it, so you are disap
