I don’t know how many of you met our Master,
Chariji Maharaj, and how many of you really observed his life and made it a
part of you. We all say, “I would like to become like Master,” but how? How are
we going to do that? When we observe the lifestyles of the great masters, what
appeals to us is their mastery. But we should go a little bit into their pasts
before they became masters. What is it that made them masters? So I would
request you all to read their lives before they became masters. What were those
high or pristine qualities that stood out and made them what they became? And
after they became what they became, for example our Master, what was the
outstanding quality that you can highlight in Master?
There are so many of them, but one of them
that strikes me the most in our Master’s life was his poise. He was never in a
moment of rush. Even when there were ten abhyasis waiting, he would attend to
them one by one. When he would give a group satsang, he would take his time and
finish it. While giving an individual sitting, he would take his time and
finish it. Whatever task was given to him, he would do it with absolute poise.
There was never a moment of rush, or being short of breath, doing his tasks.
Even when he cooked there was love oozing in his movements. When he fired us
also there was poise and a lot of love in it. There was no element of rushing;
he took his time in doing all those things so nicely.
