The disciple never forget the Master

even when he himself becomes enlightened.

Then too HIS GRATITUDE REMAINS; in fact IT GROWS, it becomes TOTAL, ABSOLUTE. He remembers his master....

This nectar that I have poured into the previous sutras has nothing to do with me -- I am not the author of these sutras. These truths were transmitted to me from my master, and they were transmitted to my master from his master. Originally they come from Gautam the Buddha.

THESE SUTRAS ARE NOT MINE.... They don't have my signature on them. I am just a vehicle, a medium, transmitting whatsoever has been given to me. I AM INSTRUMENTAL.

See the egolessness of the person, and remember it.... Once the ego is no more there, once you are no more separate from existence, ONCE YOU DON'T THINK YOURSELF AS SEPARATE FROM EXISTENCE, IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE ENLIGHTENED. Here the ego disappears; there God appears -- immediately, instantly...

When you COME TO KNOW YOUR INNERMOST ESSENTIAL CORE, you know that it is not personal, that it IS UNIVERSAL; that it is NOT MORTAL, that IT IS IMMORTAL; that it has nothing to do with time and space, that IT IS
ETERNITY ITSELF.... Once you have known it, life is not a regret, life is a blessing, a benediction.
