The Greatest Master

Another day and another lesson, I sit in contemplation before the greatest master, the root of all lineages, the teacher of all teachers.  How blessed am I truly, to have the fortune, to have come across this great teacher.  The greatest master who without doubt is a true emanation of the divine, who without doubt has the capacity to awaken that which is within me, that which is within all beings.  The wisdom before me, I cannot fathom, the knowledge, the knowing, the being unparalleled.  My master holds every key, my master holds ever answer, and my master is before me.  Indeed how blessed I am. To be a student of the greatest master..

Some have the unfortunate situation where there master resides in some place, they must leave their loved ones and their families and travel far a wide to find the teacher they seek, they must learn new languages and struggle through new cultures, they risk loosing their past, their identity in something new, as if the old, or that which was a shameful thing.  Yet truly it is a part of them, a part of their becoming.  How lucky I am, how fortunate that my master found me, when I was ready, yes my master found me.  Indeed how blessed I am. To be a student of the greatest master..

Some have closed eyes, and no yearning.  They dwell in stagnation, and have forgotten the questions and the thirst they once had as a child, to know themselves and the place in which they dwell.  The quest for understanding, the quest for the truth of the soul and the truth of being. I would hope they are at peace, yet they stew in their turmoil, the questions remain hidden, unanswered, beneath the layers of cultured illusions.  Like restless ghosts they walk through life, one day, to the next, and the next, waiting for the end, without hope in themselves or those who walk beside them.  So fortunate am I to have my awareness, and to have a guide as great as the greatest master. Indeed how blessed I am. To be a student of the greatest master..

Being a student to the greatest master is not easy, but it is rewarding.  I find that by being a student to the greatest master, I am like a servant to all, but I serve with love and compassion for the rewards my master offers far out-way the hardships I must endure. I am so grateful to be accepted as a student, I must have generated a mountain of good karma to be so fortunate. Indeed how blessed I am. To be a student of the greatest master..

Since my master came to me, my growth, my evolution has been truly a miracle.  It is indescribable, to any but my fellow students.  I love them so much, my kindred brothers and sisters.  My sanga.  They are there for me when I struggle, when I fail the tests master sets before me, they are the ones who help me try and try again, to keep on moving, to stay the course.  They remind me, that in my failure and my ability to keep going, that I have succeeded.  They remind me how far we have all come, they remind me how truly blessed I am, how truly blessed we are, to have such a great master to teach us the way through all adversaries.  Indeed how blessed I am. To be a student of the greatest master..

Each morning is a cause for celebration, each night a reflection to dream upon.  What is to come, what is to be, can it get any better, or is it just me?  But do not be misguided, no, this path is not without pain.  I feel pain, I endure suffering, I experience the confusion, the sadness and the heartache.  But this is part of the process, and not something to be dwelled upon.  My master has given me many lessons in pain, as many as I needed to understand its true function.  My master has shown me every truth I now know, the good and the evil, but how can one have it any other way.  Some only seek to know the easy path, the easy lessons, and feel my master is cruel to present them with the challenges.  No, as students we must allow master to set the lessons, that's why we are here.. Yes.. I ask for this and I receive that which I ask for, but my master sets the course of the lessons. I select the course of my understanding in the time and effort I place in the contemplation of the teachings.  My master does not cheat me, and allow me to pass from lesson to lesson without the understanding I require to advance, but my master has something I am learning to, patience.. patience..  My master is more patient with me, than I am with myself.  Indeed how blessed I am. To be a student of the greatest master..
