THE TRuE TEACHinGS 2

untold gifts and benefits bring constant guidance and pro-
tection to one, and upon initiation into the Sound Current,
the student’s karmic scroll is greatly mitigated, allowing
one’s deliverance into the ecstatic states of spiritual con-
sciousness to be swift and certain.
The student of a Light and Sound Path comes to cher-
ish the guidance and protection afforded one through the
Two Faces of the Master, the Outer and inner Masters, for
one is able to see and hear the Guru on both the inner and
outer planes. The Outer Master provides all necessary
external instruction, in the form of His living example and
through the written and spoken Word, but the inner Master
becomes the aspiring devotee’s truest companion and
unfailing friend. All possible benefits are accrued through
association with the indwelling Master. The inner Master
accompanies the soul through thick and thin, shedding light
and love where they would be absent otherwise. He stays
with one, not only in life, but at the crossroads of death,
greeting the departing soul upon leaving the mortal coil at
one’s final breath. This eternal Power, called the inner
Master, is both one’s silent protector and hidden mentor,
and the inexhaustible Source of the higher inspiration re-
quired to re-create a new life lived in truth.
A Master Soul comes to reveal our divinity, not to
hide it from our view. He comes to release us from the
spinning wheel of birth and death, karma and reincarna-
tion, and the overpowering nature of the passions of the
mind. He comes to create within us first a love for the soul,
and then the Lord, offering us a road map directly to its
door. He comes to unite us with God the Oversoul, to dispel
all ignorance and despair, and to bestow illumination and
enlightenment. The true Master deifies our soul, brings
hope and great joy, stands by us when no one else will, and
He unerringly and lovingly points to the way back Home.
