GREAT MASTER EXPOUNDS ETERNAL TRUTH! – a playful satire about spirituality – What I teach is simply a science: a systematic way to reach God. At the Dawn of Time when great rishis awakened they understood how to attain the Highest and channel enlightenment with a nod. Unfortunately, in this Age of Materialism that Ancient Wisdom has become obscured But by the Grace of our Master all obstacles have been removed! Now for the benefit of every being on the planet the Timeless Teaching is available! Finally the Wisdom of the Ages has blossomed: Global Transformation is what we need. This has nothing to do with religion: simply "scientific spirituality". This has nothing to do with business: simply Eternal Teaching. Sincere aspirants have only to pray for redemption & the Light of the Universe will appear. Pray with complete sincerity then through the Grace of our Dear Master Enlightenment will draw near. An-Yi: (confused) Uhm . . . is this a satire? Is the author actually serious about this gibberish? Bhäraté: (pausing) Perhaps it is serious satire? Daiki: Or a deep statement with playful irony? Chariya: Most people like things to be clear-cut. However, to me life seems rife with mysterious paradoxes. Why can't something be many things at once? Daiki: Yeah, and moreover ordinary human awareness seems like an inadequate tool for grasping so-called "reality." An-Yi: Ugh! Too much philosophical baggage here! Bye guys!
