The Masters work together
All highly evolved masters are deeply connected and work from the same field of light and communicate with each other in this field. They all carry their own unique quality to earth, having first gone through deep inner transformations. Some masters work more personally, others more for large groups or at a distance. Some very earthly, others in silence. A personal relationship helps to better understand the concept of the guru, and being faithful to your original teacher helps to deepen and integrate the whole into your life, but essentially you can receive from any guru.
There are also so-called levels, but they are all so divine that you can't imagine exactly what that means, and it is better not to compare gurus, masters, with each other, because they all have their unique quality and comparing them could disturb your relationship with them.
It is unique when people can receive the techniques and darshan (personal spiritual insight) from a true meditation master and remain faithful to following their meditation practice, no matter what you encounter internally.
A master can help you in your development needed to stay on your path and deepen spiritually. It is a quest for most people to find the connection back with their personal master and to experience which tradition over lifetimes maintains the most important connection for you, that connection helps you in your development and allows you to experience which path is best for you, regardless of which master you are currently learning from.
On my path, I have encountered several masters. Around the age of 20 I was given some books of Sai Baba by my father, later I read the book “Seven Days of Shirdy Sai” and also read it, sometimes slightly adapted, to my children.
When I began the Kriya Yoga of Paramahansa Yogananda, shortly thereafter I came in contact with Prema Baba Swamiji, in whom I had found my personal companion as a master. I felt very grateful for the tremendous deepening of my process and the opportunity to receive Babaji's connections and energy directly from Prema Baba. All Gurus have a different approach and I found out over the years that they know each other's insights and the deepening processes, even when devotees receive the guidance of more than one Guru.
A number of synchronicities occurred over the years, through which I understood that one Guru can speak to me through the other from the same field of love and light about the future, present or past and that they communicate telepathically with each other.
On one occasion when I was close to Mother Amma's stage and approached her for darshan I suddenly felt from nowhere the desire to ask her for a spiritual name. As soon as she took me in her arms, she started saying something that I understood as “O shan ...o shan...”. I forgot that I had asked for a name and thought of my son and thought she said “O son, o son.” As soon as darshan was over, she held me for a while and she smiled at me so exuberantly, she smiled completely. She looked so happy and stared straight into my eyes for a moment, so deep that I felt overwhelmed by her love and beauty. As soon as I walked to the back and sat down in the spot she indicated to me on the stage, I remembered that I had asked for a name, but I thought I didn't receive it.
When I came home two weeks later and attended a satsang of Prema Baba Swamiji, he unexpectedly asked me during the livestream with the group if I wanted to announce my spiritual name, although I had not spoken to him about asking Amma this question. I was perplexed and too surprised to speak in English at that moment ... a few minutes after the satsang, I wrote Baba an e-mail and asked him, “Then what is my name?” and he wrote me “Babaji calls you: Oshianna” (he described the pronunciation and emphasis as Oceana) and at that moment what Amma had whispered lovingly in an Indian accent in my ear a few times thousands of miles away came clearly to my mind ...
