Many Lives Many Masters

“A master meets you for the sole purpose of showing you the direction, the way to the inner master which is called conscience. He helps you to discover that you are already its subject, but that you were not aware of it. And then he disappears. He melts into the sky as the mountain does the moment you believe you have set foot on it." René Zuber - "Who are you, Monsieur Gurdjieff?"

Their presence, though fleeting, leaves an indelible mark on your consciousness. And that figure leaving will often create a sense of longing. Rather than attaching to these figures realize that it’s not about the master. You understand that the master was not merely a physical entity, but a manifestation of the wisdom and insight within you. They served as a catalyst for your journey of self-discovery.

Reflecting on the encounter, you understand that the master's departure symbolizes the cyclical and ephemeral nature of external guidance. They were never meant to have a permanent role in your life, but rather a guidepost pointing you towards your own truth and higher self.

Temporary masters will teach you the permanent lessons.
