ENLIGHTENED MASTER
Three things happen when we meet an Enlightened Master: First, we see in front of our own eyes that it is possible to live in eternal bliss or in bliss consciousness all 24 hours of the day. The assurance and inspiration to achieve that state is there. We understand the possibility. Next we ask, ‘All right, it is possible for the Master.
