Losing your connection with your Master is too strong of a loss. It is too big of a miss. Let it not happen to you in your life.
Lots of things on which your suffering is built will be taken away from you, just by your feeling-connection with the Master. But ignorance is such that it will constantly try to retain itself and try to have a hold over you. In all possible ways, ignorance constantly tries its best to move you out of the Master and your feeling connection with the Master.
What Buddhism calls as Mara, what Christianity call as Devil, what Hinduism calls as Maya, all this is nothing but losing connection with the Master. The worst Maya, Mara, and Devil is losing the feeling connection with the Master. Devil does its job by making you constantly lose the connection with the living Master.
Even when some people try to cherish enmity and abuse the Master out of ignorance, I tell you very clearly, many molecules in their own system will not accept it, will not tolerate what they are doing, because their very molecules carry the sacred, great, amazing, joyful, intense memory of the times and experience they had around Master. The sweetness still remains fresh alive inside.
But out of ignorance or arrogance or some other vested interest, they go on suppressing those beautiful great memories, just to suppress the voice of their organs, the voice of their molecules, they raise their voice louder and louder and abuse the Master. They just want to avoid that part, suppress it, put it in unconsciousness - but unfortunately for them, no voice is unheard or suppressed by their own consciousness!
The suppressed voice and the suppressed truth, the suppressed experiences naturally do not die, and those molecules which are suppressed, those organs whose voices are not heard, they naturally protest, and start a non-cooperation movement within the person themselves. This is what becomes physical and mental diseases.
Connecting with the things that are lower than you is the ego. Connecting with the things which are higher than you is devotion. Don't lose the feeling-connection with the Master – it is too precious. It is like a small lamp kept in your heart; don't allow the cyclone of ignorance, or arrogance, or negativity and sensationalism put out your connection. Keep it alive. Always retain the connection with the Master; it is the ultimate gift!
