Circle of Good Will - The World Teacher Trust

If we have an open mind, we can receive the messageof the Master from any corner. If we have a closedmind, we don’t get the message or don’t get any help.Many times the Master tries to help through differentchannels, but we close all channels and open only onevery narrow channel, which is full of doubt. Then theMaster is helpless to help us.Why does it happen like that? There are manywho miss to gain the presence of the Master, when theMaster is around them – they fall into the shade ofclosed thinking. Therefore, one should carry a mindwith antennas open to all sides. If one does not do that,one will be like a football player, who kicks the ball intotheir own goal. How does he win? Each time he kicksthe ball into his own goal and asks why doesn’t he win,what answer can be given to such a person? That is whythe Madam said, ‘an open mind’. Be with an open mindto get educated at any moment and every moment. Beopen to get educated from any source and every source.Sometimes one gets a great enlightenment from a comicbook; it can be a casual reading of the newspaper to getthe hint. It can even be through advertisement in thetelevision.So, don’t close the mind, try to keep it as wide as possibleand be ready to receive wisdom from any direction andevery direction. That is how it is! Then only, one is a goodstudent. People have a wrong definition of studiousness.People think those who read books are students. The realstudent is one who studies life, the book of life. How didParacelsus learn so many herbs from nature? He movedinto nature, and the nature taught. What he gained wasnot in the books. He gained it from life. He studied fromthe plants, from the trees, from the water etc. So, not allis in books. All is in life. Life is the living book, and everyday is a page from this book. If we have not learned fromlife, we are not reading the living book. Think about it.The group present here knows the term ‘The WorldTeacher’. Do you know who the World Teacher is? TheWorld Teacher is one, who looks to the Teacher in everyaspect of the world. The World Teacher of today was alsoa student in the previous Yuga. He was fulfilled throughthe single principle of holding an open mind. He learntfrom a spider, a serpent, an elephant, a prostitute,an arrow maker and so on. He learnt to observe thepresence of divinity through every single object or beingthat is surrounding him. He thereby realised that all isDivine with varieties of forms. The whole world is buta multicoloured garment of the Divine. He does notmiss to see the Divine in any form and at any time. Helives, he moves and experiences that his being is verily theDivine only. When there is such complete vision of theDivine, one stands as the World Teacher.Essentially there is nothing which is not Divine. It isthe mind that divides. Mind knows division. Heart54 55
