Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 A devotee is one who has nothing to ask, nothing to seek. He has found the Master, and that's enough. He has left himself in the hands of the Master, and now he is at ease. It is just like a small child walking with his father hand-in-hand. The father may be afraid -- it is a thick jungle, and the night is coming -- but the child has no fear. He is enjoying himself and he is talking about all kinds of things, and the father wants to say, "Shut up! Just walk fast -- the night is coming." And the child says, "But look at the trees, and look at that tiger!" He is not afraid because he knows his hand is in his father's hand. A moment comes when the disciple starts feeling the same way with the Master. Then he is a devotee, then it is a love affair. Now it has nothing to do with seeking, searching, finding, not finding; there is no question of going anywhere. Now wherever the Master is, is home, is paradise. You have lost yourself totally in your Master's being. And the strangest phenomenon is: the moment you are lost utterly in the Master's being, for the first time you have found yourself, and found who you are. --- From the book 'From Misery To Enlightenment'.
