A Master does not say he is a Master

“But you must know that a true Master,
in the spiritual sense of the term,
is a being who, first of all, knows the essential Truths,
not what people have written, created or narrated,

but the essential after cosmic intelligence.

Second, he must have had the will
to dominate everything, to master and control everything in it, and to have succeeded.
Finally, this science and this domination that he conquered
It should serve only to manifest all qualities and virtues
a detached love.

After his detachment you will recognize a true Master.
Every Master comes to Earth
To manifest a particular quality:
there are, therefore, Masters of wisdom, Masters of love, or of strength, or of purity.

But all true Masters necessarily have
This great quality in common: detachment.

There are so many impostors and charlatans ready to take advantage of people’s naivety!
They read only a few small books of occult science that often
They were written by some ignorant people and this is it:
they will present themselves everywhere as Grand Masters.
They bear no mark upon them to show that Heaven has recognized them;
they have declared themselves Masters, and I think that is enough.
But regarding others, instead of studying such a being a little
To see how she behaves, they follow her with their eyes closed.
He will deceive them, extort money, enslave them, but they will not realize it.
Well, it’s magnificent, here’s at least one intelligent being!
The others are stupid.
Why no one wonders where it comes from,
how he lived, who is his Master, who sent him?…
Ah, no, no, useless to question; since he promises
To initiate them in three days interceding with several thousand dollars – they believe him.
They are in a hurry, you understand, the initiation should not last more than three days.
The world is full of people like these, jokers, crooks.
who take advantage of the gullibility and stupidity of others.
But at least they’re smart!
I do not deny that these people have some powers – anyone,
By practicing, he can gain certain powers -,
But the problem is knowing how to use them and for what purpose.
Here, Heaven pronounces itself:

Heaven is not concerned with the means you possess,
It’s how you use them.

What matters to him is not your science, your clairvoyance
or your powers, but your detachment.
You can have science, clairvoyance and powers,
but as long as you are not detached,
even if people recognize you as Master,
Heaven does not recognize you.

Unhappiness for humans is
Their lack of discernment:
if they meet a true detached Master they will not trust,
while the first comer, who will throw dust in their eyes by introducing himself as Master,
They will follow him.

In reality, a true Master

he will never tell you he is a Master, never;

He will let you feel and understand it, he is in no hurry to be recognized.
On the contrary, a false Master, from the moment he decreed that he was a Master,
He has only one idea left: to impose himself on others.
I just received a letter from a man who thought he was capable
To become a spiritual guide:
He writes to tell me about his difficulties and anxieties.
Obviously, it was to be expected.
Why did he have to start deceiving people by pretending to guide them?
when he himself was not in place?
From whom did he receive the order to undertake this task?

But here are the people: they believe themselves capable of guiding others
before having the necessary virtues: wisdom, love, purity, strength, detachment.

They do not, as long as you have not received the order from a higher Being,
to take on this crushing task of guiding people,
It is very dangerous to want to play this role.
I would very much like to help this man, because I see
that he is very unhappy,
And he doesn’t even know why.
He imagined that it was enough to read several books of occult science
and went to evoke formidable forces of the invisible world to use,
never learning to come into harmony with them beforehand.
Well, these forces are taking revenge; they say:
“Why do you try to subdue us to satisfy your whims?
You are weak, ignorant, and we do not want to obey;
You deserve a good lesson.”
How many times do so-called occultists have no true knowledge of the Laws of the spiritual world!
I’ll tell you: they’ve read a few books and, without preparing,
They want to show off a few disciples by performing miracles in front of them.
They don’t, that’s not how you have to act.

To assume the task of spiritual guide he must have received a “diploma”,
because even in the spiritual world “diplomas” are received.

The diplomas that exist on the physical plane have their correspondence on the spiritual plane,
in whose image the physical plane was created.
The luminous spirits who sent us to Earth observe us, measure us
And if I see that we have made efforts, that we have managed to control ourselves
And to correct some of our flaws, they give us a diploma.”
