JANU: Your use of the word ‘master’ poses interesting questions. What is a master, then? Someone with great command of some part of life or their own? Does ‘master’ speak of humility, of love and respect for the Larger Life or the life of another? Is one a master of their own destiny? The answer is ‘yes’ and ‘no’ for their destiny is yet to be revealed. Yet their destiny thus far they have created, whether conscious or not. What better describes one’s journey, their consciousness, their ability? Is it not that of a journeyer, an explorer, participant in the flow of life, always learning, always serving, always enriching?
One grows into mastery, but it is a journey without end. Awakening is the path of mastery, a path without end, for life is evolving, always changing. One may see another as a ‘master.’ All that means is that they perceive this one more in command of life than they are. Conscious union with all of life and your own True Nature fulfills one’s destiny. As Kahlil Gibran wrote, “Let the greatest among you be the servant of all.” Namaste.
