There are three types of people who come to a Master. One type doubts if a Master can be above their God, their favorite God, or their family God. The second type is willing to believe that a Master is that favorite God. The third believes that the Master is another human being. All of them are wrong. A realized Master is above and beyond God. He is the embodiment of the Self. He is pure Self; the Self which is true and shining, is greatest in the Master. In the everyday world, in our daily interactions, we have vilified God. When we talk about God, we talk about a concept. We visit temples, churches, mosques, or any other places of prayer, with faith—not with understanding. It is just business.

A small story: Three businessmen took God as partner in their business venture. At the start of the business, they all agreed to share one fourth of their profits with God. In the first year their profit touched forty million dollars. Now, they did not want to share 10 million dollars with God. The first man said, 'What will God do with all this money? He has no children.

We are his children. We should dig a pit, throw the money in the air. Everything that falls into that pit belongs to Him.' The second partner disagreed. He said, 'I think we need a larger pit around the smaller pit. Everything that falls into the large pit will be ours to keep.' The third partner said, 'Nonsense! Let us make it simple. Just throw up the money. Whatever God wants, He can keep. What ever comes down will be ours. How can we offer the money that falls on the Earth and gets soiled to God?'

All our prayers are business. Despite this, our prayers have energy and we feel the energy in our prayers. All our prayers, all our pilgrimages and rituals are techniques to awaken our latent individual internal energy. Every task we do has a lot of energy. Attention is energy. Talk is energy. Focus is energy. Turn inwards. Realize the self which is the most powerful force in the universe and that resides in all of us. If we experience that true Self, we are being and becoming God. When we experience this truth, the Self expands and engulfs the universe. A Master leads you to that state. A Master is higher
than God.
