What does it mean to ‘see through the eyes of the Master?’ Just this every situation that you face, you are thinking – If this situation comes in front of the Master, how would he handle it? If this complication comes to the Master, how would he take it? If someone blames the Master, what would he do?
The key is to feel the presence of the Master. The Master is the presence, not a relationship. Relationships can be broken, mended, and broken again. There is craving and aversion in every relationship.
This is the wheel of samsara, the misery of the world. All relationships go topsy turvy, whereas the Presence is vast, infinite, stable and centered. Don’t make the Master a worldly relationship. “Oh, he looked at me”. “He didn’t look at me”. “Oh, he said this”. “He didn’t say that”. “Somebody else is close, I am not close.” All this garbage comes into it. Just enter the door of the Master and come home. Only the presence of the Master will bring fulfilment to your life – and to all your relationships.
If you say that you have no one in this world, then you are disowning me. And if you disown me, then I cannot do anything for you. If you are not feeling close to the master, it is because of you, because of your mind, because of your ego concepts. Just being on the levels of formal and informal communication cannot make you feel close.
“How are you?” “Where are you going?” “How have you been?” Stop these formal and superficial conversations with the Master. Speak with your heart what is deep in your life, what is important and intimate to you. Don’t just say, "Oh! How much the squash costs, 30 cents", or whatever.
Share what you have and don’t judge, “Oh, this is garbage”. The Master is ready to accept garbage of any extent. However you are, he will embrace you. Do not feel shame, shy, or judgmental about yourself. If you do not feel close to the master, there is no point in having a master. It is just another burden to you and you have enough burdens already. Just say, “Goodbye”.
