THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP

 
The relation between Master and disciple is an inevitable outcome of intrinsic conditions in the life of the aspirant. It is primarily a relation between the lover and his Divine Beloved. From the spiritual point of view it is the most important relationship into which a person can enter.

The love which constitutes the core of discipleship stands by itself among the different types of love which prevail in ordinary social relations. Mundane love is an interplay between two centers of God-unconscious; but the love implied in discipleship is the love of God-unconscious for God-conscious.
