How is a Guru found

[Guest guest]

Question: Will the Guru help us to know the Self through initiation?

 

Sri Ramana Maharshi: Does the Guru hold you by the hand and whisper

in the ear? You may imagine him to be what you are yourself. Because

you think you are with a body, you think he also has a body and that

he will do something tangible to you. His work lies within, in the

spiritual realm.

 

Question: How is a Guru found?

 

Sri Ramana Maharshi: God, who is immanent, in His grace takes pity on

the loving devotee and manifests himself according to the devotee's

development. The devotee thinks that he is a man and expects a

relationship between two physical bodies. But the Guru, who is a God

or the Self incarnate works from within, helps the man to see the

error of his ways and guides him on the right path until he realises

the Self within.

 

Hari Aum !!!
