“Ohne
einen wahren Meister,
liegen wir auf dem Boden wie eine Tapete,
ohne Kleister…”
A.A.B.
‘Even
if the words of a spiritual Master
can be contained in books, paper books would never be enough for him.
He is himself a living book,
and he needs his disciples to become living books too.
First of all,
he writes on them;
in their head and heart
he sows the seeds of his Teaching in the hope that one day they will bear fruit throughout the world.
So,
the Master
wrote a book which no one but he could have written: me.
Yes,
I am a book he wrote.
The
earth is so far from the sun!
But
the distance
does not stop the sun from writing on the earth,
and this writing is the stones, plants, animals and humans it gives its light, warmth and life to.
Like the sun,
the Master wrote on me from afar.
He wrote
thousands and thousands of pages,
and they are now all brought together in the book that is me.
Then,
one day, he said to me,
‘Now, you are ready; you can leave.’
