When the Master is dead

When the Master is alive,
when he is living,
when the truth is breathing,
then it is a cult –
it has to be condemned.

And when the Master is dead…

And with the Master’s death
the truth disappears,
because truth needs an embodiment.
It is an experience;
it has to exist in the person
who has realized it.
When the person is no more,
the truth is no more.
