Our great son Parthasarathi, the Master of you all, also suffered greatly in taking on the succession as the head of this great and beautiful Sahaj Marg Mission. How can fervent abhyasis, faithful to the incumbent Master, not respect what has long been planned and decreed by the higher authorities to ensure the succession when the time for it has come? It is saddening, after so many years, to still assume unfortunate positions with respect to this issue. That aspect of things is serious and unwise; let us hope that years of spiritual practice by our true and fervent abhyasis have brought about a mindset of surrender, and more so of respect for our decisions. Resistance in some abhyasis denotes an ego that is saddening within a spiritual path capable of taking them to the height of their quest – something that is not commonplace. Not seizing such an opportunity in a lifetime is regrettable for the person concerned and damaging to the entire Mission.

Unity builds strength; respect for the Masters ensures cohesion and helps an aspirant grow. Human beings cannot understand everything. Our intentions, the decisions that are necessary with regard to the divine plans, though far from the restricted view of humans, make it wise for them to accept and respect our choices, for

their own good and that of the entire Mission. May all our abhyasis grow in wisdom and reach the goal under our blessings and encouragement, fostering their elevation.

To all, the best.
