The Benefit of a Master (or)  The fruit trees need a gardener.

People are in need in their inner life;  and with their souls they are in contact with my soul, so they come to me.

I am doing nothing with my followers.  I am only sending Divine Power to them without their knowing.  This works through their personalities without harming them.

The benefit of a master is that he takes away bad characteristics in order to give good attributes to people.   It needs a gardener to look after fruit trees and make them perfect. 

Masters give perfection to disciples (murids).  As much as you imitate your master following him step by step, you are going to be on the same level, - but[1] you are an imitation of him.

            I am making murids follow me through their hearts, with love.  I am not using force, but the power of Love.

The love of the believers, of the saints and the prophets comes from the Love of God.  First God loves his servants;  then his servants love Him.

When does this love come to us?

When we begin to obey.  You will not become aware of  Love before beginning to obey.   When you dig, you find water.   It is the same with obedience.  It is like digging in the heart.

My task and the task of all those who are on my level, is to make you believe.  This is the task of the Masters.

It is not possible to believe in something without believing in someone.  To listen, the heart must be open. 

Listen, and believe in someone, and believe that this person can teach [you] what [you] cannot know, see, reach or be, by yourself -  such belief brings you the love of the one to whom you are listening. 

By believing you learn how to love.

By believing you learn to obey.   By loving you are on the way to obedience, for true obedience is not possible without love.  Whoever is forced to obey will never obey.  And true obedience leads to the Divine presence.

[At] each meeting we put a little bit of love into each heart;  because  when there is a little bit of love in someone’s heart, he will not leave the one who gave him this love - even if he does not listen to what is said, even if he does not keep to it, even if he does not act accordingly.
