Masters and teacher

A teacher pours knowledge
He got from his teachers
A transfer

A Master is a lamp
Who kindles another
Gives what the disciple wants
Although the disciple himself is unaware of it
Wakes up a sleeping One

His Infinite compassion
Beyond comprehension
Yes Masters will be contradictory
To a mind divided
At one time they say one thing
Exactly the opposite at another
Many a times are mirrors that reflect
What they see
To say Krishna is a person and not a god
Is beautiful

That brings about an Infinite closeness
To call a Master 'God' is not great
It is foolish
To erect him on a pedestal
And then forget him
Or remember whenever convenient

Its to push him far away
Like yet another a new year resolution
Ever made never fulfilled
