“Unless one cultivates slave-master relationship with the Lord,
No one can go across the ocean of this material world.
Who is as virtuous a master as Rama?
And who is as vicious as I am?”

“The relationship between those who are constantly watched and tracked and those who watch and track them is the relationship between masters and slaves.”

“There is no one who can change My course or affect My conduct to the slightest extent. I am the Master over all.”

“As a slave one cannot undertake obligations without the consent of one’s master. As a citizen one cannot undertake obligations unless the legal system of the State in which one holds citizenship permits one to do so. Neither a slave nor a citizen is a free person, although those who are held as slaves or citizens may well be free persons: it is just that their freedom is not respected.”

“Let me add, that only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”

“The master is not the one who teaches; it's the one who suddenly learns.”

“Monks throng like a kennel of pups
from disputing with the masters who instruct them
whether the run of the wind is one, or one the ocean's waters
or one the spark of fire - an illimitable clamour.”

“This mutual dependencies no longer the dialectical relationship between master and servant, which has been broken in the struggle for mutual recognition, but rather a vicious circle which encloses both the master and the servant. Do the technicians rule, or is their rule that of the others, who rely on the technicians as their planners and executors?”

“The relationship between the brain and the body is similar to that of a master and a slave. There is a lack of effective communication.”

“Sometimes, one must become a master to avoid becoming a slave.”
