Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Gurus, gurus everywhere The ones outside inform and entertain, thrill and disappoint The One inside liberates As you please . . . Worship a personality, a hill or a Bodhi tree Or just let it all be what it is Take the dust at another's feet Or take the dust is at your own feet It's all just as dusty (Just keep your credit card and your dignity) Love is Love And one day Love will find itself and be free And that day has already come Polluting the ether with more words . . . Sitting at the feet of my Sangha friends . . . Feeling there are no strangers in the Heart . . . Letting gurus be friends and friends be gurus . . . I am home. Blessings to you all . . . Smiling and shining in one another Love, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hi David, Beautiful. I would only add "When the student is ready, the teacher appears; when the teacher is ready, the student appears -- and they know each other!"

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Hi John and David: Yes, beautiful, David, and wise, John... >"When the student is ready, the teacher appears; > when the teacher is ready, the student appears -- > and they know each other!"> Permit me to add something which toombaru recently posted on Advaita to Zen... "When the student is ready, the teacher disappears." By the way, I firmly believe that this is true. Whatever the experience may be, for the teacher, and for the student, is all part of their respective and collective karma. Even the "bad" experiences have a purpose, as hard as that may be for some aspirants to accept. And, yes, John, they do know each other in the sense that they are meant for each other :-) Never two, always One...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Hi Folks, Yes. These are the same questions as how to know God or Love.
