In a recent e-mail, I received this query.... I thank the questioner for having given me an opportunity to look at it afresh.
quote:
What happens to a seeker who has not yet come across a guru or rather aguru has not yet sought him? What happens to such a seeker? Will he never progress in his spiritual path? Is not gaining knowledge thru books or listeningto discourses on vedanta and trying to apply them inyour day to day life enough?
Unquote.
What I had to say in reply:
What happens to a person who could not find a Guru or vice-versa a Guru has
not yet 'identified' him? This is a very pertinent, natural and logical question that
should arise to a genuine seeker ? But when one undertakes a sincere journey
towards the source of this very question (like any other such question), the
answer unfolds itself and surfaces 'prominently' . How does it happen?.... Well,
there are various levels of consciousness... Normal humans perceive things around through their 5 sense organs. Self awareness consciously happens to a few . Yet a few among those, care to look at this 'awareness' and when this quality of 'watching' improves, there is a possibility of 'stepping' into a new dimension of perception other than time and space opens up. When this happens, one discovers for oneself that he is, he was and he will be, never alone ! There has been always someone to take care of you. Gratitude with tears is the only way one can experience this. Great masters have always been working towards creating a situation where, everyone has an opportunity to naturally 'look' into oneself.
