But if you should nevertheless happen to fail, and you find
yourself directing anger, fear, or jealousy toward your Master, never give up. Accept the deep remorse which comes from blocking such love and do everything humanly possible to right the wrong. Correct the problem: deal with the character flaw which so harshly intrudes in the grand project. For example, if you are deeply angry with your Master, devotees from all ages urge you not lash out at him or her, but proceed something like this:
"Beloved Master, I am having a problem with my anger. Will you help me with
it?"
Then the Master and initiate, as an invincible team, work on the anger together. Your
character flaw, through love and grace, is eradicated. Endeavoring to have unconditional
love and being persistent in it is a tall order for those who have scarcely ever governed
their emotions in this life. Its practice is, nevertheless, essential for a successful
fulfillment in higher consciousness or God-realization. Even if it takes much extra work
and extra thought and extra prayer, an attitude of unconditional love must be engendered.
Your determination to persist in selfless love must be a strong
passion. That is, much of your blessing on your own quest, "your
twenty-five percent," involves your unconditional love for God, the Master,
and yourself.
Your endeavor to persist in unconditional love has to involve your determination
to live in unconditional love even when youre feeling lonely, depressed,
frivolous, or smarting from correction. Whether you feel good or bad, happy or sad, your
unconditional love must grow!
