Under such circumstances, the only good advice to be given is this: remain in sahavas, all of you! Even those among you who are not in the circle (though this information is known to none) should do so, because, as just said, the seeds have been sown, not now but in times long past, say, years before, though the ones in whom these seeds have been sown had no idea nor knowledge of it.
These seeds have been sown in a ground where they are sure to fructify: this sowing must necessarily bear fruit; the seeds have not been scattered haphazardly; they have not been planted just anywhere, without regard to the circumstances and surroundings. Often they bear fruit only after hard and severe tests and trials. The connection of the circle member to the circle is shown in Figure below.
Just as the point that you see in the figure is attached to and within the circle. so too the members of a Master’s circle are attached to and encompassed within this circle. They cannot leave it, for they are held in the firm grasp and grip of the One—the Master—who is to make them perfect. It is absolutely impossible for the point (that is, the circle member, who is a candidate for Realization) to lose connection and go outside of the circle. Those circle members selected for Realization will indeed get realized, even if they are far, far from the Master, even at the other end of the globe, in whatever sphere of life they are engaged at the time.
