The MasTer responds To seeker InquIrIes 1 3

regardless of this, I actually welcome you to study and
observe me through your mental senses, but please just be
aware of the inherent nature of your mind, for the message
of sound, spirit, and the sat guru is intended to address
the soul within you. spiritual truth circumvents the mind
entirely, even though many times the mind will try to under-
stand what is being said, almost as though it is a life or
death issue. The mind, through intellect, reason, and logic,
futilely attempts to give truth some type of meaning and
form, but in reality, truth does not even exist within the
levels of the mind.
Truth is a vibration that resides above all duality,
above cause and effect, and far above the mind. The attri-
butes of the mind (intellect, reason, logic, and discrimi-
nation) are all by-products of the universal mind power,
and yet these are the tools we initially use in our spiritual
search. We must recognize that our very own mind is com-
posed of positive and negative vibrations, and that all life
contains these dual properties as well. Before I can discuss
what truth is, I have to discuss what it is not. as you
observe life, you will find that everything has this stamp
of duality: male/female, good/bad, love/hate, day/night,
truth/untruth, awareness/lack of awareness, knowing who
you are/not knowing who you are, etc. duality stamps
everything, and the mind can only operate through this
construct of the dual forces.
The mind is a great pretender. We can walk about in
the outside world in nice clothes, we can drive new cars,
we can live in beautiful homes, and we can project our-
selves to our friends and neighbors as someone who has
“got it together.” This is just the mind projecting its pride
and vanity to others. When we are alone in the privacy of
our own room, however, we do not feel quite the same way.
This is an example of the mind’s inherent duality. There
