Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 .... When the understanding happens, it makes no difference which words are used or which master has used them. Each master has used different words for only one reason: his audience has been different, the circumstances different, the people different and the times different. Maharaj once told me - I was surprised when he said it - " Many of my colleagues don't like what I say, because I am not parroting what my guru used to say. What comes out of my lips is what you need, not what my colleagues and I need. " What surprised me was when he added, " When you talk, what you say will not be parroting what I have been saying. " So, many people who used to go to Maharaj don't like what I say. They say, " That's not what Maharaj said! " Of course it's not what Maharaj said! Conversations with Ramesh S.
