That makes sense. The same method, different name. And BTW this was
spoken of by Charan and other masters as being THE MOST difficult of
spiritual practices, to have that visualization of the master within.
But it is still YOUR creation. It is still YOUR illusion. But at
least it is the path that you have created, your oversoul, your inner
gaze focussed on the focus. This is the sine quo non of those who are
beholden to a cult. That they are unaware that this outer physical
man/master is but the template on which to create their own inner
master.
This Dyhan was priceless it was said. They would say that even those
who spend a great deal of time with the master do not and cannot do
Dyhan. This was the holy grail among Satsangis: visualizing the
master within or having dreams of him.
My question then: does this difficultly arise because once this has
been accomplished the disciple has become the master or is about to
embark on the ladder and ascend the sounds as HPB describes in "The
Voice of the Silence"? I like to think this is so.
When I had the first experience of the inner master externalizing and
making me hear his voice it was the most thrilling experience of my
life. But I had no physical master at the time. What or who was it I
asked myself for years? The answer came back as it only could return:
It is YOU, I AM. You are the object of your search.
Love that. Thanks
