He may observe fasts, penances or silence, according to the respective necessities of the individual prarabdhas of the circle.
During this period of the Perfect Master's preparation of his circle members, those who are in the circle remain perfectly in the dark about their divine advancements until the very end when the light is suddenly switched on. In the twinkling of an eye, the indescribable, unimaginable and unthinkable internal change takes place with a seemingly insignificant external gesture from the Master — perhaps by a word or deed. Exactly how the Master manages to dispose of the differing individual prarabdhas collectively cannot be divulged, since those who are not in the circle, but think themselves to be so, would be misled into committing such actions as would make them suffer terribly.
This much is certain: Those who are in the circle do not acquire new material sanskaras whatever they do, even if they commit the worst actions, for which the Master has to suffer. The connections are so formed that all the new material sanskaras of the connected ones automatically pass to the Master, who does away with them. Hence, even if those of the connected ones commit the worst possible crimes, there would be no change regarding their divine upliftment at the right moment.
But the real beauty lies in obeying and following the Perfect Master to the letter in spite of knowing oneself to be in his circle, as it considerably helps him in the great task which he does for all the circle members' sake. The Master's orders and instructions should be held as the very gospel and law even in matters of everyday life — to eat with a will when he orders or remain without food to the last. In fact, to exercise a complete submission to his super-will should be the only goal one should have. It saves a great disappointment after the Experience, when the greatest services done for the Master fade into insignificance at the gigantic favor he has done for the one concerned.
