La technique du maître

Any being, under the influence of the soul, experiences, at one moment or another of their existence, the longing for perfection, an inner achievement and the complete fulfilment of their personality. This impulse is all the more powerful in the modern world, with its fixation on materialism which instead of happiness generates dissatisfaction. How are we to move forward, under these circumstances, and answer our soul’s call? Certain works, written by purported masters, would seem to suggest that a few readings will provide short cuts along the spiritual pathway. They do no more than consign the seeker to illusion, as true inner work relies on continued practice, which will bear fruit over the course of steady work, carried out with perseverance. Raymund Andrea explains how the disciple must apply himself with discipline and will-power, in order to make his way towards true mastery of life. It is only when this technique is mastered that his soul will be able to truly inspire his life and behaviour as well as help him to acquit himself wisely in and for the world.
