Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Q: May one have more than one spiritual master? A: Who is a master? He is the Self after all. According to the stages of development of the mind the Self manifests as the master externally. The famous ancient Dattatreya said that he had more than twenty-four masers. The master is one from whom one learns anything. The Guru may be sometimes inanimate also, as in the case of Dattatreya. God, Guru and the Self are identical. A spiritually minded man thinks that God is all pervading and takes God for his Guru. Later, God brings him in contact with a personal Guru and the man recognises him as all in all. Lastly the same man is made by the grace of the master to feel that his Self is the reality and nothing else. Thus he finds that the Self is the master. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ from ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Be As You Are The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Listen to your Mail messages from any phone. http://phone.
