The Master and the Disciple

Sri Chinmoy's meditative gaze

Excerpts from Sri Chinmoy’s Book – The Master and the Disciple

A real spiritual Master tries to bring to the fore the inner divinity of the disciple from deep within the disciple’s heart. It is the spiritual Master’s job to make his spiritual children aware of something vast and infinite within themselves, and that is nothing other than God himself. ~Sri Chinmoy

The Master and the Disciple

He is not meditating
For his own realisation.
That is already done!
He is meditating.
For your illumination.

~ Sri Chinmoy
