 The Furnace of the Master's Heart \

 The Love of the Master is complete, it is True to the Absolute expression of limitless Self. The One with Truthful understanding serves by decree of direct Knowing, and therefore cannot compromise the Truth for the sake of upholding any misconception in Being. At times it is necessary, and indeed the duty of the Master to cast a fatal blow to the ego. There are those who would have you believe that one acting through Love interacts only in the bestowal of blissful Shakti, and kind words which soothe and justify the ego. Love is not always gentle and soft, but often times presents itself fiercely.

It is not the role of the Master to substantiate, or reinforce the way of misidentification, but to draw the sword of Truth and cleanly cut away the fetters of delusion. This is compassionate action, tempered by Love. It would be far easier for the Master to allow the sophisticated strategies of the devotees ego to pass by quietly, without upsetting the self reinforcing structure, but of course in this instance the Master would not be a Master, albeit likely in the company of many devotees. This is the gauge by which you may know your Master.

Will this Being guide you on a journey into the abyss where your worst fears congregate to be realised, and then stay with you whilst you face them?

The Master will meet you in the midst of your sorrow, your anguish, your desperation, and in so doing will share the intimate beauty of these conditions of the human experience.

The Master will not emancipate you from your suffering, but will instead join you in the core of it whilst blood is spilt. The Master shares an empathy which is authenticity realised, as none other than True reflection of the Self.

The Master will always be present as the True Heart in Absolute Understanding of all nOT4ons both enmeshed in, and transcendent of separation and the multiple torments of denial. Love itself does not deny you the experience of pain for by directly experiencing this condition one is able to Realise the final Truth, That of non-dual Reality. You are neither alone nor separate from anything.

The Master is not a separate entity, operating independently from the synchronisation of Divine Grace, but is in Truth, Divine Grace Itself.
This One's Love will reveal the Truth regardless of uncomfortable circumstances, and without regard for the constructs tendered by the egoic mind.

When Love comes in the guise of executioner, recognise this gift of Grace and give thanks for the blessed opportunity.

Remember that if you truly desire to know the Truth, then you must first be willing to relinquish that which is untrue. The Master is your truest friend and most loyal servant, whose unrelenting Love and Compassion transcends the usual considerations of the human relationship. This relationship is deeply personal and profoundly intimate whilst being utterly impersonal and nothing less than an open display of transcendental non- dualism.
