Summary
How do we determine if one is an enlightened Master? Do the appearance and clothing of a living Master represent his level? Supreme Master Ching Hai pointed out that wearing certain clothes or not doesn’t decide whether he is a Master. We should look at his quality, power, the capability of giving initiation and the inner experiences of the initiates. A living Master is truly different from others, no matter what his level is. They have practiced spiritually and their inner level is different from other people, although they might look the same outside. Therefore, it is not an issue of clothing. The inner spiritual level may affect the outside behavior. One who practices spiritually is different from one who does not.
Whenever a living Master thinks of a person or the person thinks of the Master, that person receives blessings. Sometimes we swear to be together with Master life after life, to support Master’s work, or work for Master and go through life and death for Master. But then we failed right away with even a little test. For someone who has bestowed us with so much grace, we still cannot put down our ego, self-esteem, or prejudices and concepts, how can we work for the public? Some people do not know themselves. That’s why they do not know a Master.If we know yourself well, we could immediately recognize the Master. We are not conscious and do not check ourselves at all. We do not know who we are. This is why we cannot recognize a living Master.
