I have seen a number of verses in this regard, but cannot remember seeing any verses that describe a conditioned soul, who, after having taken full shelter of a great soul, then goes on to deliver fallen souls himself. According to the law of disciplic succession, it makes sense that a fallen soul, having been delivered (by his bonafide guru), would then go on to deliver others, yet it seems to always be that the 'deliverers' have descended. How are we to understand this? Your servant Samba das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
