Esoteric Facts Given Out By Baba, Part 3

THE ELECT AND THE SELECT

Dr. Abdul Ghani, Munsif

 
"There are always two types of recipients of a Perfect Master's spiritual grace — the Elect and the Select. The Elect or the chosen ones for reasons of a spiritual connection with the Master and their number is always fixed; while the Select ones are those who earn and induce the grace of a Master by service and sacrifice and their number is unlimited.

To speak exoterically, because of my spirituality being derived from two Masters — one a Hindu and the other a Muslim i.e, Shri Upasani Maharaj and Hazarat Babajan, my circle of disciples will be a cosmopolitan one consisting of Hindus, Muslims, Zoroastrians and Christians (Westerners).

All the members of the esoteric circle have always existed with me in my past incarnations and have played their individual parts round about my personality. It is this service and sacrifice, or even antagonism, rendered unto me in the past that determines the spiritual relationship or connection with the Master.

In this Path, position, learning, wealth, or blood relationship does not count. Past connection with the Master entitles the aspirant to claim spiritual heritage."
