Swami Chetanananda Saraswati, in his turn, confirmed, like many of his predecessors, that love for the merciful Master attracts the disciple to him. And because the Master is one form of the Lord himself, he is automatically attracted to the Lord. By His grace as well as by practicing devotion to Him, according to his instructions, he transforms himself, "Just as the water of a stream loses its identity when it is poured into the Ganges (or the ocean),

just as (they say) a piece of iron turns into gold by the touch of the philosopher's stone"; similarly, the disciple turns into the master himself by the touch of the master. Such is the state of the devoted disciple who never likes to admit, although, in reality, is one with his Master. One may quote from the statements of mystics to describe this altered state of consciousness of a true disciple:

 "Those eyes are very rare indeed through which pearls of tears are shed in the memory of the beloved Master". 

Inform of poetry, the same idea is in the following:

 "Can an Ocean be contained in the small jar? Can the Master be God? Can a man be the Lord? They say it is imagination, let them say so". (Sharmad, the mystic)
