Have you ever met a living, enlightened master in your life? Did you notice about the enlightened Masters – that they don’t have arguments with anyone and there is no friction? Because they don’t separate themselves!

I took the following photograph in an Indian ashram where I met an enlightened master (the one in the photograph) who graciously initiated me into the divine.

I also met Ammaji several times—also an enlightened master. Although she hugs millions of people in her life, she’s loved by all. So, if you think you are an enlightened master already, think again next time you experience friction, boredom, fear, jealousy, envy, greed, or loneliness. It all comes from separation and spiritual ignorance. Unconditional love and compassion, however, are signs of an enlightened master, especially in times of conflict.
