It's the Guru's words "stupid", not the Guru.

Your will surely be disappointed if you worship the Guru and don't

follow the wisdom of her/his words.

 

Take no offense with the word "stupid. It's not meant that way.

 

Aloha,

Dear Sri Alton-ji,

Thanks for this gem of an article. The ending was beautiful! Do you know the

first editor of realization.org was on our list when she started it. She has done a good job there.

Namaste,

Gloria

What namaskaram is needed? To keep one's mind on the correct spiritual

path is alone the greatest namaskaram.'1

Tiruvannamalai: Sri Annamalai Swami Ashram Trust, 1994) pp. 115-16.

Here's one more short excerpt:

A devotee once approached Bhagavan and asked him if he could prostrate to him and touch his feet.

Bhagavan replied: 'The real feet of Bhagavan exist only in the heart

of the devotee. To hold onto these feet incessantly is true

happiness. You will be disappointed if you hold onto my physical feet

because one day this physical body will disappear. The greatest

worship is worshipping the Guru's feet that are within oneself.'2

Rob Sacks is the current editor

and he's slowly bringing the

site back from it's recent

multi-month coma -- along with

the Meditation Society Of

America's snail mail

publication, "The Inner

Traveler," realization.org

will be debuting an article by

yours truly later this month --

a piece commissioned by Laura

Olshansky before she went on an

unannounced hiatus and the site

went comatose. :-)

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
