Be near to the Master
Purification and proximity to the Master define the path. You must purify yourself by eliminating anger, offense, and sadness. Physical proximity allows you to feel the Master's energy and atmosphere, which is the purpose of a retreat. If karma permits, come near. If not, meditate on the Gurudev's embodiment to unite your vibration with that energy for daily upliftment. Many meditate while angry, disagreeing with the Gurudev yet reciting the mantra. Do not seek recognition from others. If your work is unrecognized, consider its quality may be insufficient. When you become the personality who should be known, recognition will come without your effort. Simply be that one.
"Only a bhakta knows what it means to be near."
"You should be kind to him, then he will be kind to you."
