We insist on the human dimension of your Master, so that you realize that he does not live immune to all difficulties. He can only inspire further respect, since in addition to an exceptional spiritual responsibility, he must also face realities of the Earthly life. He is invested with a mission, which entails a whole range of problems that he must solve. The Mission covers very different countries in terms of culture and climate, which determine diametrically opposite habits. It is necessary to put up with these elements, which do not facilitate his task. The difference of languages is also a handicap to human relations. The spiritual work gets over these barriers, as in it, all are equal.
"Some abhyasis have misconceptions about a Master's life. They imagine that it is idyllic without the least worry and that he is carried by the love of his disciples. The picture is not that rejoicing. It entails a good many shady areas that are not easy to dissipate."
