Instant illumination

```

Death, when a spiritual Master visits you

On his way to Heaven,

Do you give him a special reception?

"Yes, I do.

But I am so lucky

That God has turned only very few human beings

Into spiritual Masters

Since the very birth of His creation.

Only on very rare occasions

Do I have to welcome a spiritual Master."

O Death, my poor ignorant friend,

Those days are buried in oblivion!

Nowadays thousands of spiritual Masters

Are offering their loftiest Height,

Purest Light

And

Deepest Delight

To their younger brothers and sisters in spirit.

To your wide surprise,

There are some spiritual Masters

Who have the capacity —

Unlike Krishna, the Buddha

And the Christ —

To grant Illumination,

Liberation and Salvation

In the twinkling of an eye.

Again, there are some

Who are simply unique.

Do you know what they do?

They initiate

Over ten thousand people

At a time!

And their initiation has

The thaumaturgic power

To offer their disciples

Illumination, Liberation and Salvation

All at once!

"Is it so?

I must immediately go to Heaven

And inform my comrades Krishna, Buddha and Christ

About the incredible

And unprecedented capacities

Of these spiritual Masters.

I shall tell Krishna, Buddha and Christ

That if they really want to be

Worthy of their successors,

Then they must

Immediately come down

And be their most humble disciples.

I assure you, my divine friends

Are extremely sincere seekers.

They will immediately

Come down

And kiss the very dust

Of the feet of these Masters

Who are granting

Instant Illumination, Liberation and Salvation

Like the earth's instant coffee.

I am so grateful to you

For offering me

This creation-illumining news."

Death, I am so happy that at last

My most dedicated service

Has been of some use to you.
