Question: Does the Inner Light have a power of its own to reveal itself to a seeker even though that person has a Master?
Sri Chinmoy: The real Inner Light and the Master’s Light are the same. Where did you steal the light? From the Master. The problem is that sometimes you have Inner Light but you are not able to utilise it. You have it but you have misplaced the key. The Master searches and helps you find the key. He helps and does not tell you that he did this. The Master, by serving you, is pleasing the Supreme.What you should do is ask if what you feel to be Light is real Inner Light and how you should use it.
