If
you ever have the opportunity to do Master's work, seize it, as it
is a blessing from God to help us!
It is not that we are doing anyone any favors.
As a contact
person, I admit one of my shortcomings is that I sometimes get a bit
frustrated with some of our brothers and sisters who come to group meditation
regularly and do not help with Master's work when the opportunity arises.
I find that the same people always have to do the bulk of the Center's
work, when really we should share the work and rub together to learn
from one another, so that we become more aware of our strengths and
weaknesses. We then have to face the truth about ourselves and cannot
hide anything. Otherwise, how will we truly know what we have?
I have learned
a great deal through working as a contact person. At first I was frightened
of the responsibility, because I did not think I was good enough to
do the job. But I told myself that if I had not been meant to do it,
Master would not have given me the chance. I think I have made more
mistakes and blunders than perfect decisions, but such errors have taught
me more than doing things correctly all the time. My difficulties have
given me greater courage to take on any situation or problem, knowing
that it is okay to make mistakes, because that is a way to improve and
perfect myself. I am no longer afraid of taking on responsibility in
fear of not doing a perfect job. Making mistakes is better than doing
nothing at all.
When I do
Master's work compared to doing the ordinary work of the world, I feel
a greater force working with me. However, the negative force can be
very strong sometimes, and the pressure unbelievable, especially with
the politics at the Center. However, you get such experiences everywhere
in the world, and if you run away from them, you will only encounter
the same situations again and again until you face and rise above them.
But at such times, I remind myself it is only a test from God. Hes wants
to see how strong I am in seeing through the illusions of the negative
power. This helps me to persevere, as each test makes me stronger. At
the same time, when I feel the blessing power, it is so uplifting that
I cannot find the words to describe how fulfilled I am inside.
So if you
want to progress, besides meditation, do not wait to be asked to do
Master's work, and work cooperatively with others. Soon you will realize
you are actually helping yourself.
Thank you
so much, Master, for the blessed opportunity you have given this Rose
to grow. I have many more thorns than I realize. But without such an
experience, how would I have known that I was not such a perfect rose
after all?
Being
no longer blinded, I can now truly grow to perfection!
