Through the Universal Body, the Truth-realized Master actually finds himself in the minds and the bodies of everyone. It is no difficult task to raise the greatest of sinners to the level of the greatest of saints. The person who plays with the kite and makes it fly freely in the skies, has in his hands the controlling end of the string. He can bring the kite down or allow it to soar as high as he pleases. Likewise, the Perfect Master is in possession of all the controls of the spiritual evolution of everyone.

Suppose it pleases the Truth-realized Master to raise an ordinary person to complete consciousness of the first plane. All that he has to do is to use the infinite energy of the Universal Body and draw his subtle tendency towards the first plane. Such working upon a mind which is entangled in the gross world and freeing it from its cherished bonds, can in itself be no more pleasing than vivisection by a surgeon. The surgeon removes an inflamed appendix by cutting its attachments to adjacent portions. The process in itself can hardly be a pleasure for him. But he does his duty with extreme patience and persistence, because he knows that it is necessary for the physical well-being of the patient. In the same way, the Master has to undertake the spiritual operation, when he uses his infinite skill, knowledge, power and patience disentangling a soul from its enmeshments. He can do so only because he is aware that what he does if for the real good and happiness of the soul on whom his grace has descended.

The ascending soul may experience much psychic agony. The Master is in sympathy with him and also knows himself as being in him; he cannot, therefore, himself escape the suffering involved in the ascent of the aspiring soul. But he is, in all that he does, sustained by his own infinite bliss of Truth-realization. It cannot remain in abeyance even for a moment. What he uses is his infinite knowledge and power and love. He does not use his bliss, which is his sustaining reservoir to fall back upon in all endeavors fraught with acute mental and spiritual suffering.

Though the Truth-realized Masters have at their disposal the infinite powers of the Universal body, they do not always perform miracles or take recourse to super-ordinary ways of action. The reason is that the law-makers cannot themselves be law-breakers. God has ordained certain laws for the universe. They are followed by the sun, moon and stars and everything that breathes. These laws are not binding for the God-realized ones. But they nevertheless respect and observe these God-ordained laws, because they have become one with God. In a sense, there is no such thing as a violation of any law. The so-called miracles are performed by using the hitherto unknown powers and forces which operate ac-cording to their own laws. The Masters do often perform miracles. But they do so strictly for spiritual purposes. And while doing so, they do not throw off the spiritual laws of the universe. They are above all laws. But even their super-ordinary achievements are according to the eternal Law of Truth.
