Without the Master you cannot get "True Knowledge." When the Master promises to give you liberation, at that very moment you get liberated. There is no doubt about it. He has the capacity of bestowing liberation. The Master explains this knowledge to you in countless ways. He proves it until it becomes crystal clear to the aspirant. The Master has a monopoly over liberation. Take it for granted that devotion is the mother of Knowledge, and the travails of the world and God that give you stress go away. Devotion means faith in the Master.
