Everything depends upon the will of the Master. One can do only as much as the Master graciously permits one to do. Blessed is the person whom the Master selects as an instrument for his work. The Master is God Himself born as a world teacher for the establishment of religion in this age. Is it an ordinary privilege to be an instrument for his work? What can an ordinary man understand about the Master's sublime ideas? Unless the Master graciously reveals himself, who is capable of understanding what stuff was in that little frame of his—what great power functioned in him! _Who indeed, can know Thee unless_ _Thou revealest Thyself?_ _Veda and Vedanta grope in the dark,_ _failing to fathom Thee._ Everything becomes clear if he graciously reveals himself; otherwise who will understand him? Apparently he was like an ordinary man—eating, sleeping, walking around and doing things of that sort—but within that frame of his there was so much power. How can people understand it? With the passing of days people will see the play of the Master's tremendous power. There will be a great revolution in the realm of the Spirit. Whom shall I tell how much the Master is showing us? Whom shall I tell, and who will understand? I cannot explain to anyone how many things are going on inside here (placing his hands on his chest) about him. Nobody would understand them. I cannot even tell you. Even you would not understand. So long as Swami Brahmananda was alive I could unburden my heart and have a feeling of relief. We would both enjoy discussing those things. Those were the most intimate experiences, and we would discuss them privately. He too would often tell some of his experiences. Now we cannot do that any more. Now we have to treasure those experiences within—not finding anyone with whom to discuss them. Everything is his will. I earnestly pray: May good betide the world! May you all be blessed and may you all live in peace! *Source:* For Seekers of God by Swami Shivananda
