The Master
Then there is the way of the master which is quite the opposite. He conquers himself; he battles with life; he is at war with destiny; he invades all that seems wrong to him; he finds the key to the secrets unknown to him. Instead of being resigned to all conditions, all things, and all people, he turns them to the shape that he wishes and molds as he likes the personalities which come in touch with him. He tunes personalities to the tune which suits his orchestration. He has command over objects, he produces effects in objects which are not naturally there. He can even rise to a state where he can command nature.
The spiritual hierarchy is made of the masters. For the world is ruled and governed; although outward governments are different, the inward government is the spiritual hierarchy. In the East such ones whose thought, whose feeling, whose glance, and whose impulse can move the universe are called Wali.
