Tarot Cards > The Master
From
the
Osho Zen Tarot
Beyond
mind, there is an awareness that is intrinsic, that is not given to you by the
outside, and is not an idea -- and there is no experiment up to now that has
found any center in the brain which corresponds to awareness. The whole work of
meditation is to make you aware of all that is "mind" and disidentify yourself
from it. That very separation is the greatest revolution that can happen to man.
Now you can do and act on only that which makes you more joyous, fulfills you,
gives you contentment, makes your life a work of art, a beauty. But this is
possible only if the master in you is awake. Right now the master is fast
asleep. And the mind, the servant, is playing the role of master. And the
servant is created by the outside world, it follows the outside world and its
laws.
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind
has created. There is no blissfulness more precious than freedom, than being a
master of your own destiny.
Commentary
The Master in Zen is not a master over others, but a master of himself --and
this self-mastery is reflected in his every gesture and his every word. He is
not a teacher with a doctrine to impart, nor a supernatural messenger with a
direct line to God, but simply one who has become a living example of the
highest potential that lies within each and every human being. In the eyes of
the Master, a disciple finds his own truth reflected. In the silence of the
Master's presence, the disciple can fall more easily into the silence of his own
being. The community of seekers that arises around a Master becomes an energy
field that supports each unique individual in finding his or her own inner
light. Once that light is found, the disciple comes to understand that the outer
Master was just a catalyst, a device to provoke the awakening of the inner.
