6. Beyond Compare

Master is beyond mind. Master is beyond compare. When we try to analyze them, we will always fall and fail.

In our worldly interactions we compare two objects. We can readily see the similarities and differences between them. For example,when we compare two vases we use parameters like size, shape, front view, back view, everything visible about them.

In the case of Masters, they are beyond physical attributes. They are infinity. They are one with the infinite dimensions! Can anyone see the similarities and differences between two infinities? Can infinity be subject to comparison and contrasts? If anyone can compare two infinites, the similarities and differences between two infinities is the same as that between two Masters, that's all!

The problem with us, modern people, is that we have forgotten the language that Masters love to hear. We may know many other languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, but Master will not heed to these. Master has to talk to us unless we learn the language of Silence. We immediately will refer to a dictionary to find out the exact meaning of the word silence. The meaning given in the dictionary is soundlessness.

But that is not the meaning Master wants to convey. What the Master means by silence is a vibrant, live energy that is silent! We cannot relate in that language. With a living master we can understand what we have to say because we use the language we know.

So, be silent: in thought and speech, in front of a Master. Let the Master be able to guide us. But the Master addresses a crowd of thousands of people. On the one hand, people are not able to ask their questions or to get their doubts cleared individually. On the other hand, a Master, will clear whatever thought or doubt we have in our mind by the Master's address. Whenever the question is sincere, whenever it is a quest, we find that the Master answers it.

A living Master will guide us. This is more of a possibility of a living Master guiding us than a Master who has left the physical body.

Be very clear, a dead Master has become very silent, very subtle. They continue to speak, to communicate with us. We can even call it communion.

Master can communicate with us in many ways, yet He is always silent. Master has conquered mind and is beyond mind. Can you compare silence?
