A Letter of Hope

by Jay Linksman

Through the infinite Grace and Mercy of the beloved Master, I was able to visit India and sit at His Holy Feet once again. It is such a Great Blessing one can hardly comprehend it. Those who have tasted the bliss can never forget.

Master’s Great Love and kindnesses once again overwhelmed me. Even in His sickness He was consoling others. He has suffered greatly for us and at times the sight of Master suffering silently for our shortcomings and sins was almost unbearable. One day the weight of my sins was weighing heavily upon me. My wretchedness loomed large before me, and I was even losing faith that there could be any hope for such a sinner as myself. That evening at Darshan as Master was sitting so majestically on His bed on the porch, an Indian disciple came and Master spoke to him for a while, and then turning around, said in English,

So there is nothing to be disappointed about, there is hope for everyone, man is in the make.

How many times I had read those words! and yet this time with Master’s charging, they pierced my soul and filled me with hope and strength. Such is the Greatness of the Master. With one glance or word He can lift one up when one is faltering, in the twinkling of an eye He can fill one with such bliss and joy one can only shed tears of gratefulness. In all the worlds and in all the times I cannot believe that there has ever been one such as our Blessed Master.
