Circle of Good Will - The World Teacher Trust

terminology that is called ‘Father’, i am is called ‘Son’.Jesus, the Son of God, frequently refers to the Fatherin the heaven. He says it is the Father in the heavenwho is working through to glorify the son. The stateof the great initiate Jesus is verily that i am. It is inthat state he taught. It is in that state he healed. It is inthat state he did some smilingly impossible acts. It is sowith every Master, every Teacher.A Teacher is one, who reversed the inversionsin him, and is the one in whom the objective andsubjective are aligned. Further he is aligned with theDivine. The primary alignment is in one’s own self.The final alignment is with the One, in whom we live,we move and have our being. Since he reversed all theinversions and also stands the realisation of that iam, he cannot be comprehended by the student. Thestudent is one, who is still in inversions. Therefore,what the Teacher sees, the student cannot see. Whatthe Teacher says, many times the student cannotunderstand. It therefore does not help much when astudent tries to grasp the Teacher. He cannot measurethe Teacher. He cannot comprehend him. Sometimesthe student feels that he understood the Teacher, but inthe next moment he finds that he did not understandhim. The student oscillates, many times he feels likefollowing the Teacher and many other times he feelsthat it is all confusion with the Teacher. The Teacheris like a mirror. He mirrors out the inner confusion ofthe student. He mirrors out the conflict of the student.When one looks into the mirror one sees oneself better.Instead of trying to understand a Teacher, it isbetter for the student to follow the teachings of theTeacher. By regularly and consistently practising theteachings coming from the Teacher, a link is establishedbetween the student and the Teacher. Practising theteachings is the link. When the teachings are regularlypractised without any change in vibration, the linktransforms into a thread of consciousness. Throughthat thread the consciousness of the Teacher growsinto the consciousness of the student, whereby thetransformation happens faster. The Upanishad says thatthe Teacher is the preceding one, and the student is thesucceeding one. The Teacher is anterior. The student isposterior. Then there is a flow from the Teacher to thestudent, in so far as the student continues to follow theteachings of the Teacher.Following the Teacher essentially means followingthe teachings. Not crazily hanging around the Teacheras some do. The Teacher and the teachings are butone. What is the teaching? It is the outflow of theconsciousness of the Teacher through sound. Whenthe student receives it, assimilates it, and follows it,the link is established. Once the link is established,the Teacher is better understood. Intellectual students104 105
