The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Book 1 - The Problem of Union |
26. Ishvara (the Gurudeva), being unlimited by time
condition, is the teacher of the primeval Lords. Since the conditions
of time and space existed there have been those who have achieved omniscience, those whose
germ of knowledge has been subjected to proper culture and thus developed, until it
flowered forth into the full glory of the liberated soul. This condition became possible
through certain factors: The occult student must remember that this process has gone on in the wheels and cycles
preceding our planet Earth. The primeval Lords, or Sages, are those great Adepts Who -
having "tasted experience" under the Law of Rebirth, were initiated into the
mysteries by the one Initiator, the representative in our planet of the [53] Oversoul.
They in their turn became teachers and initiators into the mysteries. The one Master is found within; it is the soul, the inner ruler, the thinker on his own
plane. This one Master is a corporate part of the Whole, of the All-Soul. Each expansion
of consciousness which a man undergoes fits him to be a Master to those who have not taken
a similar expansion. Therefore - mastery being achieved - there is nothing (speaking in
terms of the human kingdom) to be found except Masters who are likewise disciples. All are
learners and all are teachers, differing only in degree of realization. For instance: It will be apparent therefore to the careful student how interdependent all are and how
the achievement of one will profoundly affect the entire body. Discipleship can be
regarded as a generic term covering all those states or conditions of being in the fourth
and fifth kingdoms (human and spiritual) wherein certain expansions of consciousness are
brought about through specific training. |
