The parable of the good disciple and the good master.

Once upon a time, in a distant land, there was a master who used to teach his duties to a disciple, he who recently had been sent to learn about the spiritual path.

In this story the master was being initiated in his first inner retreat in order for him to get rid of his expectations and of his own powers, to surrender himself to the eternal infinite. In the plans of the retreat of the master the arrival of this last disciple had not been predicted, who was sent later than expected. The master had already instructed other disciples before beginning his hermit retreat even though for the master the learning was to give himself to all, above all things.

The disciple was not very skilled in the tasks that the master would entrust him with. The apprentice disciple, who in spite of being very dedicated, as he humbly followed word by word whatever the master would dictate to him, one day saw himself lost, as without compass. This happened from lack of attention to trying to understand the reasons for each intention that the master indicated to him.

The master rarely felt uncomfortable because the task of his consciousness was to love and to see each disciple as they were, beyond their mistakes. But on this day, the universe of the Father was going to confirm if the master would be able to achieve a greater expression of love in face of the great difference that existed between the request of the master and what the disciple did. The result of this could have changed the destiny of the two of them.

On this day the disciple needed to confirm his trust in the one who guided him, beyond the differences.

        What is the lesson of all this experience?

That the master, if He has no disciples, will never be able to see with wisdom all that which still must be banished and that, out of love, he must always have the mission as his purpose. And the disciple, on his path, must always count on the company of the master so that he may indicate to him the steps that he must take from consciousness, avoiding thus the loss of his mission by the election of other paths.

This is the lesson of love. If between master and disciple there does not reigns love there will not be able to be unity and if there was lack of unity the mission of the two of them would have no result. This is the great step for those who guide and for those who learn. If there were not the two of them the purpose that is already written would not be able to be fulfilled.

The attitude of the master and the one of the disciple must be of humility, of devotion and of love so that light may be present in both paths. All must emerge from true love so that one’s own evils may be banished and in every situation may triumph the faith in God.

Under the Love of the Father, be blessed.

Thank you for meditating on My words with the heart!
