in the presence of a great master, the closed bud of your heart opens up..

A flower doesn't need instructions on how to bloom. No music teacher taught the... nightingale to sing. It is spontaneous. There is no force involved, it happens naturally. Similarly, in the presence of a great Master, the closed bud of your heart opens up. You become as receptive and innocent as a child, a humble and obedient child of the Master.” ~Amma
