Yours Affectionately

I am very glad to learn of your keenness in pursuing practical spiritual lessons, and note your acknowledgment as your willingness to obey instructions. Obedience to the Master’s instruction makes the student’s path easier and facilitates progress. And the world has nothing higher to offer than the truth of Sant Mat. I am particularly pleased to learn that you are doing your simran and bhajan regularly, and are able to hear the sound current and the internal melodies. In fact, it is the sound current that holds the world together, and the higher harmonies will, by and by, take the soul up to the highest region. With faith and constant practice, you will contact the finer harmonies some day. Obstacles are bound to come, but as you have rightly remarked, they are only stepping stones if properly tackled. Our own mind is, in fact, our greatest enemy, and this has to be conquered. This is done by Shabd or sound current practice, which is an absolutely foolproof method.

There is no reason to be afraid; think of the Master and repeat the five Names, and if you again feel any difficulty or fear, help will come. It was a very good experience you had. As the student progresses, he sees, hears and experiences so many things. With faith and confidence, move on and on.
